Thereās something about stepping into a garden center that feels like a deep breath for the soul. The scent of fresh soil, the vibrant colors of new blooms, the quiet hum of bees and rustling leavesāitās a little oasis of nature, waiting to be explored.
And then thereās the sound of running waterāsoft, rhythmic, endlessly soothing. Whether itās a trickling fountain or a bubbling pond, it has a way of quieting the mind and making you pause for just a moment longer.
Wandering through rows of flowers, herbs, and trees, you canāt help but feel more connectedāto the earth, to the changing seasons, to yourself. Whether youāre picking out a new plant to nurture or simply soaking in the beauty, itās a reminder that nature is always there, ready to ground us, inspire us, and bring a little more life into our day.
So go ahead, take that stroll, run your fingers through the lavender, breathe in the scent of fresh greenery. Let nature do what it does bestācalm, restore, and remind you of lifeās simple joys.

I have such a bad habit of making things and wanting to keep them.
I loved this tree (ok a nod to Christmas) but Iād display it all year round if Iād kept it, but this one went off to a new home. š
Give me the hot glue gun and some dried materials and I think Iām going to get making again.
Do you like making things (crafting) ? If so whatās the best thing youāve ever made? šš»Tell me below šš»

Aspidistra leaf manipulation is another way to add interesting looks to your designs.
And in a vase they last for ages anywhere from 14 days up to 21 days.
They look good with large bold flowers and the leaves can be used as a wrapping material for funeral arrangements or in vase to hide ugly stems.

The Beauty in Every Stage
Flowers donāt rush to bloom, nor do they resist when itās time to fade. They simply embrace each stageābud, bloom, and beyondāgracefully.
Thereās something magical about watching a flowerās journey. The fresh vibrancy of petals as they first open, the full glory of their prime, and even the soft, faded beauty as they dry. Every moment holds its own charm, reminding us that change is natural, and thereās beauty in every season of life.
Maybe thereās a lesson in that for us too?
Whatās your favorite stage of a flowerās life?

Something to be grateful for this Saturday morning.

Sticking to my style means hopefully Iāll attract the work I love rather than taking on projects that drain me. If you enjoy natural, vintage-inspired arrangements with texture and depth, (I can embrace my signature style) and I can find clients who align with my visionāmaking the process more enjoyable and fulfilling.
Have you ever felt pressured to follow a trend that didnāt quite sit right with you? How did it turn out?

These have just been plonked in a vase to drink water and rehydrate before I work them into a bouquet.
I actually think they look rather good š.
Have you ever tried arranging flowers yourself? Show me your creations!ā
