Christmas wreath workshop

Fun, fizz and a Christmas wreath making workshop - a great way to spend a Thursday evening in December!  Debbie from East Lothian Flower Farm showed us how to bend and coax fresh willow stems into a circle (not the easiest of tasks) and having established our frame the fun began with the embellishments.  The willow stems, from a local willow farm, were beautiful colours, intensified by the recent frosts.  Chocolate, lime green, coral and wine red.
A very enjoyable start to preparations for Chrismas 2019.

    This is right up my street...loving it and all the feathers. How fantastic. I think that is a lovely thing to do. Love, love it.
    Love Sally xx

    Beautiful! The colours are gorgeous and you'll be able to keep it and use it again. I only use willow on partially covered wreaths as I hate to hide it.

Early morning light

There have been some cracking early morning skies this week.  The sunrise has generated a strong rose gold light which has been picked up not only in the clouds but also through the silver-white grasses around the edge of the golf course. I always marvel at the clouds.  Constantly changing, formations that have never been seen before, never to be seen again.

In a vase on Monday - colour

The intense colours in my vase this week come from nasturtiums, sweetpeas and a single glorious zinnia! Their beauty and love of life speak for themselves and need no further words from me! Enjoy!

A simple vase on Monday

I have just one flower in my vase this week. A simple, pretty, wild narrow-leaved Michaelmas daisy. The vase is actually a black pottery cup. I wish I could remember where we bought it and who made it, but it is a great favourite of mine. I even made it the subject of a piece of artwork several years ago. Clearly shaped by hand, it has the air of a Japanese piece about it.
