A very fresh and pretty scheme for Spring in whites and greens. This was an April wedding so we made good use of some of the very pretty seasonal flowers around now. MIlda's spring bouquet of white double tulips, freesias and double lisianthus. Very fresh and very pretty and sadly this photo doesn't really do it justice. The weather wasn't kind to us so the light levels were very low - and the outdoors very wet ! Groom's buttonhole of white freesia. A slightly more unusual but very lovely choice. Milda loved the buds from the freesias so these were an important part of all the designs  Bridesmaid's bouquet of white rose, double tulip and freesia - note all the buds !  All white bouquet of Akito roses, double tulips and freesias.  Buttonhole of white double tulip for the remaining men.  For the ladies, a classic white and green corsage of white freesias.  A  f loral table plan of white and fresh green flowers makes a lovely focal point at the entrance to the...

A recent pic of me and my niece  Florence. I  wondered dear fellow bloggers if you would be so kind as to click on this link and look at my new Website, and tell me honestly what you think. I know I need more Wedding photos, but that will come in time. Is is easy to find your way around? Is it clear? Does it look well? I know it's a little cheeky of me to ask you, but I just cannot look at it anymore, and who better to ask! Excitement is building for Saturday, and perhaps an element of panic is creeping in. No, I will not panic, I will be fine! The furniture painting workshop went really well, and we are lining up for another and the chalk paint has been very well received. Here is my link  www.flowersonmytable.co.uk , if you could spare the time to have a little lookie, I would just love you to bits! I will have photos for you after my unveiling. I am sorry to keep you waiting, but I would like to do it all at once, rather than in dribs and drabs. Besides, I haven't got ...

Taking a walk in the park I had to stop and photograph these little beauties, they were everywhere. Now I am not too sure if they are wild garlic or wood anemones. but either way I love them. I apologize that my last post was a little gloomy, but I am back to my happy self...hooray! Sorry they are a bit far away, but there were loads of primroses in the park too, just the thing to brighten your day. I am very busy getting ready to teach at a Furniture Painting Workshop on Thursday night. It will be in the shop (Nannabelle's Gifts), where I will be having some retail space. They are now a distributor of Autentico Paint, an Italian chalk paint. They have a tremendous range of colours and the paints are lovely to work with. Here is a small range of colours to let you see....... I will be officially opening my little 'potting shed' on Saturday 4th May, and I am busy painting, sewing and thinking! I will take photos when it is all set up I promise. My website is almost ready to ...
