Rose Romance and A Blog Party

For all of you who just love a bit of romance, roses and  hydrangeas

I have put together these images to share

as a way of showing just how much I appreciate 

you for visiting, following and leaving

such inspiring comments.

"Thank you all sincerely

from my heart"!

There is just so much beauty 

in our garden at present being Summer here in Australia

we have an abundance of these beautiful 

hydrangeas!

Aren't these shades so divine?

complemented with a few white jugs

and tiny vintage bottles

and

vintage pewter

and

a few of my favourite things like this

and this

and this little French vintage draw-string bag.

Oh the textures, needlepoint and embroidery have

inspired me to create some of these

little shabby rose sachets.

using organza, romantic images, braids, tassels and beads

like this

and this

Very soon I will be offering another small giveaway

in appreciation for all of your visits
