a little favourite

This is perhaps my most favourite still-life photograph! I'm rather chuffed that I could capture the intricate beauty of one of my most favourite of flowers!

I adore flowers (did you guess?) and long to learn floristry...imagine days surrounded by nature's very best.

special moments

Memories captured in a precious gift. Moments in time, stories re-told, laughter shared. Today I spent with special friends and we reminisced about our times together. I often fill this beautiful piece of crystal with flowers and recall special moments with fondness.

a little lantern

...dancing in the sunlight! Nature's perfect creation so much like a silk lantern - delicate and soft. Certainly a dash of brightness in my little garden. Imagine, as the dusk falls, some lanterns like these swinging in the evening breeze...amongst the grape vine trailing across my pergola... Wouldn't that make for a heavenly evening and sweet dreams?

taking a moment

A cup of tea does wonders for the soul...it makes one stop, breathe and enjoy the moment. With homemade shortbread the moment is even sweeter. Today I'm lacking concentration...I have so much inspiration - the ideas and thoughts are going around in my little head and yet I can't begin to make them a reality. I'm hoping this cheery cup, a gift from a very special friend, helps me savour the moment and put some order into my dreams...

cute as a button

...or two! A little gift to celebrate the arrival of two little ones, so sweet and cuddly and with the prettiest of names. Welcome to the wonder that is this beautiful world.

a mother's love

the softest space
the safest place
a mother's heart

at my front door

Perfect in form and colour. And oh, so perfectly cheerful whenever I return to my little home.

a little delivery

...a ball of linen string missed from coming home with me when purchased. On my doorstep...a brown paper package and enclosed with in...my ball if string (neatly wrapped in tissue), some ribbon treats (oh how I adore ribbons!) and a sweet note enclosed...quite a perfect delivery!

Such a sweet parcel from a lovely person! Thank you Sarah. The very first blog (and quite possibly my favourite!) I read from beginning to end was Sarah's red felt flower (although I didn't realise at the time the connection!). Her lovely charm and gorgeous spirit is captured in her photos and words...it brightens my day whenever I stop by for a read.
