As I've been a bit slack on the posting front and my house is a shabby tip rather than an inspiration I thought I would post some pics that I took on a trip to the botanical gardens in Edinburgh last year....
I love alliums they are my fav flowers and I never lose my sense of awe at them
aren't they just divine (even with the rubbish photography!!)
and then there's the rose, so sweet and delicious I wish that I could grow them with some success but alas I just seem to end up with some brown thorny twigs and a pathetic looking flower half dead at the end....certainly not like these!
anyway a flower always lifts my heart and brings a smile to my face even when I feel completely rubbish, full of woe and sorry for myself.
Hopefully I shall be starting the makeover of my spare room/dumping ground for stuff into my vintage/shabby/retro nursery soon and I thought I would record my progress here so if your interested check back soon and I'll be posting some pics. Off to collect a cot tomorrow so it'll be the first freecycle addition to the new room.
