I Have An Idea.....


Not to make this all about Rachel again, but, we were chatting via email and she asked me if I would do a tutorial on how to make supermarket flowers look good.  She had several vases full at home and I asked her to send me some photos of them.  Totally charming was my response, no instruction needed.

Then she asked me what  flowers I had around my house today and  inspiration struck.  I thought how much fun if would be if one day, say next Monday, we all posted pictures of flowers we have around the house.

I know you all pretty well by now, you've all got something going on  indoors.   Flowers, dried seed heads, plants, branches, bulbs, all are fair game for a shoot and post. 

In answer to Rachel's question, I zipped around the house  shooting a little vase of sweet peas and a mini orchid in the bedroom, a branch of barely budding cherry in the dining room and am throwing in, at no extra cost to you, a picture of the Lab asleep in her brand new bed that was just delivered today.  I'm thinking she's loving it?





So what do you think?  Shall we do it?  I'll show you mine if you show me yours!

    Also mean't to add that I am so glad you and GG liked the look of the chocolate cake I posted about - sounds like GG might be a fellow chocolate fiend?? Just to say the cake is definitely a Devil's Foodcake type, kind of like Betty Crocker style - trashy in a good way for when moments when you crave some box-cake sponge! xx

    Yay! This is gonna be fun! Of course I will post a reminder. I guess we can consider this forcing spring. Unless you're in Australia or South Africa, then we can all turn green with your summer flowers.
