garden

On the subject of gardening.

I bought this lovely little book from amazon for 11 cents.

Derek Jarman's Garden is about a dying man creating an exquisite oasis around his home in the middle of dead land.

I love the dessert flowers and succulents and the rusted sculptural bits and pieces found in the sea and made from old gardening tools.

Have a look at this amazing garden.

yes we did!
which means that we also bought a garden!!
i've never owned a garden before.
i'm too excited to count the gum trees.
we move into the house in a few weeks time.

i'm looking forward to throwing open the windows,
listening to the trees and letting my life bloom.

This is my new diary.

We all need a little Orla Kiely in our lives.

Please watch this link for some divine quirky elegance.
It will make you sigh and wish for that wallpaper, those dresses and a whole new life to go with them ;)

(I took these pics off youtube. Hope that's kosher x)

So nice to share a cup of tea this rainy afternoon with sweet Ariane.

I made mine with fresh camomile.
