thankyous, and flowers

Hi everyone,

just a quick mega thankyou to my lovely, lovely Diana! and thankyou all for visiting me! She is just the sweetest lady, and as I said in my first post, one of the main influences on my decision to come back to blogging! So lucky to have met this special angel!!

I am celebrating my husbands birthday today - 44 years young...  As I normally visit the flower markets on a wednesday for college tomorrow, i had to go yesterday ... After the market trips, I have to spend a reasonable amount of time recutting stems and conditioning everything , also sorting out the good the bad and the dead of the blooms...

I keep the not so great flowers for myself usually!! The rest all have to go to customers or used for study/practice!  It is lovely having them in the house all the time though!
                                       Lilacs are my favourite right now!!
                                          this was a little tray I picked up a few weeks ago, and some of my new morrocan tea glasses; I have always loved those!

 

 

And a head of a new bunch of roses which sadly fell off!  on one of my grannys china dishes.    I carried all the little peices she had left from Scotland went she passed a couple of years ago.  She didnt have a lot (and she did break a lot!) but what she did have I will treasure forever!

 

I must take some pics of the lovely little crown napkin ring holders I found for a bargain price a while back...  I am tyeing silk fabric scrap round them to pretty them up a bit!

 

Still waiting for my electrician neighbour to fit my lovely new (well, it has been around 8 months since I bought it) chandelier!!!  It was their payment for a floral arrangement I made on Valentines day for them...! Cant wait to see it up!  Its a rusted/gilt/gold vintage look fixture with pretty clear and pink crystals...

Been thinking that I am over the wallpaper in my dining room also.  I loved it for a long time, but just recently; had enough.... time for a change!  

               I was overwhelmed by the lovely, beautiful comments by everyone on my last post from when Diana sent you all here, I am going to work my way through and visit you all one by one; bear with me, it might take a while as I do often get sidetracked in blogland!!! Not difficult to do at all!!

                                                              Have a wonderful Wednesday!!

                  Laura xxx
