A New Friend


I bought this young lady home from Mr VL's work (I am occasionally allowed to raid the Garden nursery's gorgeous gift shop)



She is  lime washed terracotta 




She is perfect for displaying my vintage bridal headpiece collection...rotating them



A vintage fabric covered chocolate box









1950's book...50c ( $30 on Ebay!)



 This was the last week of the Prunus trees in blossom








2 days was spent planting out shrubs, camellias , roses and topiaries

    The lady is beautiful! And your blossom trees too.Sadly your spring is our autumn so our trees will be losing their leaves soon but we have spring to look forward to eventually again!

    Hello Meg
    I love the bust of the sweet young girl - perfect for displaying your bridal headpieces!
    The prunus trees are spectacular - what size do they grow to.
    Your property is a beautiful piece of land - undulating with a wonderful vista in the distance!
