In December 2013, my daughter and I went to Marrakech for a long weekend. The idea was to do some Christmas shopping - with a difference. We had a happy and hilarious time, with a few uncertain moments which were no great surprise. Marrakech is such an assault on the senses, compared to the sedate and familiar atmosphere of Edinburgh.
I bought a tiny little green teapot, decorated with Berber silverwork. I have never used it as a vase until today. It sits on my kitchen worktop, reminding me of that exotic weekend, but it occurred to me this morning that it would make a great vase for a few daisies. A Michaelmas daisy, chamomile, Mexican daisy and our beloved lawn daisy, with which I have made many daisy chains, for myself as a child, my daughter and my granddaughters.
Here is the shop in the souk, just off Marrakech's Central Square, where I bought my little teapot.

What a glorious little teapot of blooms, Amanda - the teapot really enhances the simplicity of them, and your photos elevate them to a different level altogether - so sweet, so thank you for sharing
ReplyDeleteThank you Cathy. I love daisies in all their colours and sizes!
DeletePerfect for tiny blooms! And great shadows.
ReplyDeleteLove shadows!
DeleteWhat a perfect vase it makes! Daisies go with everything in my view.
ReplyDeleteThanks Kris. It is a lovely little reminder of a completely whacky long weekend in Marrakech!! A
