Fresh From My Garden

I picked these from the garden and placed them in a vase in the kitchen. Later we went out for a few hours and left all the windows closed. When we arrived home the beautiful scent of these roses had permeated the entire house.

Recent Jewelry Designs Added to Jacaranda Designs Shop

I've been really busy lately making stock for two local stores where I'm selling my jewelry. I spent most of Sunday photographing many of the new pieces and have started adding a few to my online shop.

Here they are....

Gorgeous Roses of Edinburgh

Flowers, gorgeous flowers.

I recently celebrated a birthday and was given some gorgeous flowers. Naturally, I couldn't resist capturing them. My husband gave me roses in a lovely variety of reds, pinks, yellows and oranges. A very good friend of mine, Johanna, sent me a stunning arrangement - a real work of art. I put both arrangements in my kitchen where I would see them all day. Loved them but sadly they're now starting to fade.

A Walk in the Country - Fotherby Top

Whilst staying with my aunt and uncle in the UK recently, my uncle decided to take us on a morning walk to Fotherby Top. We thought it would be a fun little half hour stroll but it turned out to be a 2 hour trek through the countryside, tiring but fun. The heat was quite a problem though and by the end of the walk my youngest son had stripped off his t-shirt in an effort to cool down. However, the long hot walk really made them appreciate a dip in the pool when we returned!

Dreaming of My Summer Garden

It's a bit dull outside but a lot of the snow has disappeared.  So has my snowshoeing, which I was really enjoying.  However, now I can see the earth in my garden and a few hardy plants have shot up some shoots.  So in anticipation of spring, here's some pics from my garden from last year!

Twenty Years and Counting!

Last Monday it was twenty years to the day that I emigrated to Canada. My hubby gave me a wonderful bouquet of roses. They've dried up now but as was about to throw them in the compost this morning, I grabbed my camera..the colors are still so gorgeous!

Also, posted some new hair posies to my website yesterday. This pink and green one is my fav.
