I know it technically isn't Monday any more, but I did promise to post every Monday no matter what.So week 1, I have failed miserably! I have had a bit of a bad day today.Last night I visited a lot of my blogging friends that I haven't been to in a while, and some are going through very difficult heartbreak. I feel sad for them and guilty that my life is very good. I know this isn't the right way to think, my getting sad and low doesn't help anyone. Blogging is a funny thing, it is like writing letters to your friends, you bare your soul sometimes and in so doing you make people connect with you on a different level.Once you have that connection, it makes you  close, and then you feel their joy and their frustration and their pain.

Image from  here . Hello my dear readers and followers, so sorry for my long absence. I have been a busy bee, baking for 50th birthday celebrations and joint boy/girl christenings. I have been TRYING to set up a website and facebook  page, and wrestle with a new camera and computer.My head is about to explode with knowledge and learning! I have been forming a friendship with the owner of a local giftshop and tea room and together we have been brainstorming and planning new and exciting things, that will add something to our town..I can't really say too much at the moment, but I will most certainly keep you all posted. I have also been offered some space in her shop , to sell plants and flowers and handmade goodies.As you can imagine, I am giddy as a goose, trying to stay calm and focused. I have never been one for routine, but realise that I am not being fair to you,my loyal readers, by posting spasmodically, so I plan to post every Monday from now on. Thank you for continuing...

Spring weddings are so lovely, I love the fresh colours and all the pretty spring flowers. I was slightly less keen on the snow showers that made an appearance for Hannah's April wedding ! Better than rain definitely but seriously, it's time it warmed up a bit.  Hannah's vintage spring bouquet, roses, tulips and lisianthus in mixed pastels with gypsophila, a few large pearls and some delicate foliage.

First up is Cara's lovely Spring inspired wedding. Spring bouquet of roses,  tulips, anemones, paperwhites and astilbe with a little asparagus fern and myrtle.

Natural, country style bouquet of roses, freesias, delphinium, lisianthus and mixed foliages. Country style posy in blues and soft mixed pastels. Posy finished with ivy leaves. Sadly, this was not a wedding bouquet but the mix of scented garden roses, freesias and blue delphiniums I am sure can provide inspiration for some really beautiful wedding flowers.
