It's possible I've become a little bit too obsessed with dying flowers. My housework abilities are a little on the lax side (I say, with some element of understatement) so it is pretty much guaranteed that if I have flowers in my house at any point, I will spend a good fortnight with dying flowers … Continue reading Lovely dead crap

Garden moodboard: August 2014
Oh the joys of an English summer! July was gloriously sunny for the most part and my garden has been putting forth some of my favourite flowers as a result. If last month was a little bare, this month has surely been making up for it, with snapdragons, pink roses, white cosmos, frothy nigellas and … Continue reading Garden moodboard: August 2014
5 ideas from Hampton Court flower show
Last Wednesday I spent a gorgeous sunny day wandering round Hampton Court flower show. It was an English summer personified: the drowsy song of bees in the air, the sun beating down with occasional white clouds drifting across the blue skies, endless (endless!) stalls selling Pimms and rather a lot of people dressed in striped … Continue reading 5 ideas from Hampton Court flower show
The garden in June
I know, I know, I've been a bit garden-tastic over the past few weeks, what with all my chat about greenhouses and sheds and so on. I am working on some more craft-related posts at the moment too, you may be relieved to hear, but I couldn't resist joining in once more this week with … Continue reading The garden in June
A love of trees
If you follow me on Instagram, you’ll know have a bit of a penchant for photographing flowers. (For which read, my feed is stuffed full of floral photos, mostly taken on my daily wanderings round Peckham Rye Park.*) But there was another reason that my feed was 90% flowers: my crappy iPhone 3 which objected … Continue reading A love of trees
Garden moodboard: May
No brain power for much chat today, with a one-week-old newborn, but I did manage to pop out into the garden yesterday morning to gather some flowers for my May moodboard… (For once) I’ll just let the photos do the talking…. This marks a full year since I started taking these photos. Interesting … Continue reading Garden moodboard: May
Late summer wedding flowers
Have I mentioned that I'm getting married in a few weeks? Oh yes, I have. About six gazillion times. In a classic "how hard can it really be?" moment, I decided that it would be a good idea to arrange all my own wedding flowers. Actually, I had originally planned to grow them, transport them … Continue reading Late summer wedding flowers
A photo a day: August 23rd
I'm half way through a big detailed post about all my wedding flowers, which I was planning on publishing today. But sitting down just now to finish it off, I discover I've got a fuzzy Friday evening head on, so the words don't feel like coming out. Instead, here is a little sneak peek of … Continue reading A photo a day: August 23rd
Garden moodboard: August
I'm six days late with my garden moodboard for August, though looking at the photo you could be forgiven for thinking I was month late and this was the bounty for September. What's happened to all my flowers? These are literally the only few I could find. (And the rose was one of only two … Continue reading Garden moodboard: August
A photo a day: August 6th
A jug of flowers today; including some beautiful cosmos and sweet peas. Staying at our wedding venue-to-be in Shropshire at the weekend, we found a jug like this in every apartment. They had been picked from the cutting garden. More on Shropshire tomorrow... Joining in with the August Break.
