Happy Monday everyone!
I hope you all had a lovely weekend.
I was lucky enough to receive some absolutely beautiful flowers from Brunnel for our wedding anniversary.
And because he was in cahoots with Sarah, instead of a bunch of flowers which I would, as she well knows, have de-constructed immediately so that they could be spread throughout the house, a whole box of blooms arrived.
Ready for me to play with.
The only 'problem' being that there isn't much of a house to spread them through at the moment.
The 'playing' is pretty much confined to one room. And that one room is my oasis of calm amongst the bombsite that is everywhere else.
And so long as I have that oasis, I can overlook the chaos everywhere else.
So, I commissioned one of my old jars as a vase, and played to my hearts content for a while.
A little prettiness is so good for the soul don't you think.
And I just know the builders are going to appreciate the slipper orchid in what is left of the bathroom!!

They look gorgeous Amanda and I'm sure that they brighten everywhere up.....your 'bombsite' will all seem like a distant dream soon.
ReplyDeleteHundreds of Brownie points to Brunnel !! XXXX
Those builders can be a surprising lot! Well done to Brunnel. I'm impressed. As I am with your decorating skills, even in the middle of a muddle:)

ReplyDeleteWhat a thoughtful husband you have there, Amanda. Gorgeous. I love that Mason jar - a classic! J x
ReplyDeleteNothing beats a Mason Jar vase- and the bouquet is lovely- love the vignette you've photographed- a simple statement- enjoy the rest of your week.
ReplyDeleteSo beautiful!! Delphiniums are one of my absolute faves! Lucky you :)
ReplyDeleteLovely jar!
ReplyDeleteAnd a beautiful scene!
ReplyDeleteTop marks to Brunnel for the lovely flowers. That's exactly what I do - made-up bouquets make me sad, so I always break them up into more natural little posies, with a debris of lonely ribbon and netting left at the end. A box of flowers is a much better idea.
ReplyDeleteI'd be your builder if you put orchids in the bathroom for me! I'm on my way :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a good boy Brunnel is. Lovely way to send flowers.
