Gardening Style

I have upped the anti in the gardening fashion stakes and bought myself a new pair of gumboots. Now don't get too excited I am not talking Hunter, Burberry or Chanel all of which I would love to own but couldn't possibly justify the cost. However, I did buy a colourful floral pair from Bunnings that are very chic and stylish for a bit of backyard gardening!

Pink & Berry Crush

 

 

 

What a beautiful mix of colours:-

pale pink, lavender, purple, cerise and white
all set off beautiful by flashes glossy green foliage and green satin bows.
What an interesting collection of vases, bottles and vessels
... but it's that hat box that takes the cake!
These colours are a perfect combination to
brighten up the house or dress up a table!

In Full Bloom

'Life is beautiful'

Flowers are the pinnacle of feel good gifts.

The never fail to bring a smile to my face and joy to my soul.

A bunch of flowers can say a thousand words.

They can say - love, happiness, romance, regret

friendship, sorrow, sympathy and congratulations.

Have a lovely day!

Wild About Roses

Everywhere I look, everything I read and every conversation I have is a

an endless source of ideas in my life, work and wardrobe. 

Inspiration for me comes in many forms :

a book, a movie, an old Vogue, a piece of art or a fashion exhibition.

Today I'm feeling nostalgic for these

wildly romantic rose prints!

Pretty As A Picture

 

Just too pretty!

This is my idea of a perfect country table setting :-

pink, pretty with a touch of vintage Scandinavian styling.

A beautiful collection of fresh fruit flowers and countryware

begs us to take a seat at the table.

Soft Focus

Here is something pretty and romantic to start off the working week.
 These vintage style photos remind me of the soft colours
found in an impressionist painting.
I love the soft greens, pinks and lilacs.

Enjoy your week!

The Enchanted Garden

 

Our garden is a wonderland of pleasure. A sanctuary of calm, quiet and tranquility to get lost in a good book or take an afternoon nap. It's a peaceful haven for alfresco lunches and afternoon teas in dappled sunshine, set elegantly under big shady trees. It's a place of magic and adventure for little ones to explore and make believe and it's cool, green oasis in the summertime for kids to run barefoot in the grass.
