My spring garden this morning

The gorgeous Sarah from the wonderful blog A Beach Cottage in Sydney commented on her face book page this morning saying "I can't get my mojo going this morning" and I replied ""me too...""

then as I was hanging out my washing I looked at my garden and thought, hmmmmm if I don't get moving I'm going to miss my Spring garden for another year. So I grabbed my camera, some lovely old props and set up a table setting under my apple tree, (which is full of blossom) for Tablescape Thusday, I will be posting the story this week on my main blog.

Now, I'm happy, invigorated and planning a few more fun things to photograph. I thought I was going to have a day full of boring domestic.... cleaning etc . But, I'm back on my blog with some new shots. Yay, yay.... thanks Sarah...

Have a happy day everyone.

and good luck to all the little ones doing the HSC today, including my baby boy.

White gardens

There is nothing more beautiful that a white garden, my garden is filled with white blossoms at the moment and I wish I could spend more time soaking it all up.

Wishing all my Aussie friends a happy Spring

and to the rest of you wonderful readers, I wish you a wonderful week ahead.

I'm off to create some hand made white flowers and some new displays in our new store,

My new on line store is open and a special giveaway

Over the last two years I have had many, many requests & comments from wonderful readers asking me about my photographs and if they're for sale. I am so excited to announce today that I now have a little on line shop selling my prints. I am often also asked if I have a book, well, not yet!! It is something I have been working on and hopefully I will have one soon.

Welcome to my new little shop, I have carefully picked my very favourite prints for the shop which are available in a few different sizes. Cards are also coming soon...
And to celebrate the opening this week
I have a special give away.
I am releasing today a series of four prints called
"Blossoms & Birds"
and I have two sets of these (8" x 12" ) prints to give away.

All you have to do is click on my shop below and find the special name of the image with the squirrel, then just leave a comment below with the name of the squirrel.
Good luck and I do hope you like my new shop,
oh, and I hope to add many more interesting things to the shop each week.
.......and in a weeks time I will pick the two winners from a hat.

Please don't forget to tell a friend about my new shop
and especially about my very special give away this week.

White flowers

What can I say about white flowers, they are little gifts from heaven

and I have no favourite, they are all beautiful.

This post is in memory of my wonderful Grandmother Mary who died this week,

Goodbye Grandma, these flowers are for you xx

The Softest Pinks

There is a lovely old lady in my garden wearing a beautiful pink dress

This week in my garden a beautiful old tree blossoms into a mass of pink colour, the bees come from everywhere and feast on her and can you just imagine what the honey would taste like. People slow down as they pass our front garden. My car is covered for week or two in petals and as I drive off down my road the blossom fly into the air behind me. She is very close to our neighbours garden as well and I really don't think they like her much as leaves her sprinkling of blossoms in Spring and leaves in Autumn. I would never let her go though, she is gorgeous, she is a lovely old lady that has been standing ever so proudly in my front garden for many many years.

I would love you to leave a comment and if you have time, drop over to my Styling blog to see the Debutante Ball gown that I created.

Burradoo Blossoms

I have only just realised that it has been three months since my last post in my garden blog, I am so sorry, the thought that I may have dropped off blog sites is terrible and I cannot believe that I have missed a whole season of gardening.

Well I am nearly back, a few more weeks of work and I'm free to get back to my blogging. I have spent the most wonderful spring day today with one of my best friends, MY CAMERA. We went to Burradoo this morning to drop off Thomas to school and had to stop and look at all the gardens on the way. (I really don't think my children are aware of how lucky they are to be surrounded each day by such beautiful country side and gardens). We, (me and my camera ) then spent the rest of day together in the garden under my blossom tree having tea.

For more of my tablesettings under the blossom tree in my garden today visit my Styling blog this week.

This is a gorgeous little house in Burradoo across the road from my Son's school, it sold recently and I thought it would be an interesting house to buy, beautiful on the outside, very tiny inside with little windows. It is almost like a dolls house, unfortunately if we bought it, I would have to live there on my own as I couldn't fit the family in.
