M and her 6 'maids is the next installment of Flowers in Crates on the Floor. All packed up and ready to go!
π This is also my opportunity to tell you I'm on holiday! You know what they say, "if you don't schedule a break, your body will take one for you. And it probably won't be at a convenient time."
A gap appeared in my calendar, and then I started keeping it free for a wee hol. I'll be back to business as usual next week once I've topped up my batteries a bit βοΈ ready for a BUSY summer of flowers!
For M who married her love, A, at the beginning of May π
A mix of corals, pinks, peaches with a little splash of orange and hint of white. Featuring plenty of movement and textures - I can't wait to see the professional pics! Trying to get a good pic at 7am on the wedding morning by yourself always proves a little tricky π
Flowers include: peonies, ranunculus, astilbe, lisianthus, tulips, sweet peas, solomon's seal, stocks πΌ

February went by in a flash and a flurry of admin. Here's a lovely play date with pals at from the end of that month. We snipped from the walled gardens then created little bowls and arrangements with our goodies. My bowl has a face like the moon emoji π
