Seaside and Flowers

 Happy new week everyone....and happy june too......here is my collage of pictures from may...such a lovely month and so much floral and seaside inspiration........

 ..............i made this new little striped beach house which makes a sweet seaside decoration.....

 ...........especially with other coastal collections of mine like shells, little boasts and seabirds....

 .........and my much loved blue and white st ives sign brought back from our last visit there just a year ago........

 .........and of course the fabric fish too.............the patterns for both the beach house and the fish are in my etsy shop now if you would like to do a bit of seaside sewing.............

 .............as june begins all the roses begin to open here...............

............the scents are just gorgeous and i love being able to pick lots of posies..........

 .............here's my little wooden trug (bought in the lake district) and perfect for gathering the flowers.........

 ..............the alliums are still blooming too and there are more to come......it only seems a moment ago that i was planting these in the autumn and hoping they would grow.....

 ...........here's my favourite rose....rather like a wild dog rose, it grows near the potting shed and has this bright candy pink colour.............

.............we had a lovely time with family this weekend and lots of fun with the little grandchildren......... we managed some time in the garden though the weather here wasn't the best......hoping for a sunny week ahead now...........(by the way for those of you who follow me on facebook too...i wasn't able to post on my fb page recently...don't know why it won't let me... but will keep trying!)......

.........thank you so much for dropping by and for your very kind comments lovely readers..........wishing you all a happy week with sunny days and lots of crafty inspirations.....back soon xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
