Beautiful Blooms

I got my first bunch of hydrangeas from my plant which I have been nuturing from a baby for the last 18 months. They have pride of place in my lounge room and look gorgeous. These blooms are my all time favourite flower, they remind me of my Nan's garden when we were kids. Here are some of my favourite images where hydrangeas feature.

Friday On My Mind

We've had a pretty busy week getting the new Enchanted Closet website ready. You can take a sneak peek now at www.enchantedclosetshop.com. Tomorrow I will be posting a giveaway in conjunction with the website launch, so make sure to check it out and enter the competition.

I just ducked out to grab some fresh flowers for a party I'm having at home tomorrow night. I bought some gorgeous roses and lillies to decorate the house. I am so looking forward to catching up with friends over a few red wines and great food. Hope everyone has a fantastic weekend too!

I saw these gorgeous table settings while visiting Peacock Feathers. They are from the New York Horticultural Society's annual Spring Gala, where 20 decorators were asked to design a table each for the event. Elizabeth from Peacock Feathers was lucky enough to help her friend, Colin Baer, with one of the tables and by the looks of it they did an amazing job. For more photos visit Elizabeth's blog.

Perfect Poseys

It's a gloomy and chilly day here in Woodend and what better way to cheer myself up than to look through my photo files of beautiful flowers. Here are some of my favourites. As you can probably tell, I love colour.

Brussels in Bloom

Given that Valentine's Day was yesterday and flowers are often used as a gesture of love, I wanted to post these pics of Brussels in Bloom. Every two years, Grand-Place in Brussels, Belgium is transformed with over one million begonia blossoms. The festival first began in 1971 as way of promoting begonias. This year the design is based on a medieval carpet, and for each square metre 300 flowers are used. Amazing.
