Through the window and in the hall


Soft, rich tones of colour and light seen from through the window at 6.30am. A kind hearted morning, sweet and ripe like the hedgerows. I felt an impulse to harvest and bring some mellowness indoors.




I am by no means a florist but I just loved snipping and seeking the red hawthorn berries and the crab apples and the slowly antiquing hydrangea heads. Of course mellow can also mean slightly tipsy, and that is perhaps the title of my arrangement!
The hall table is now bedecked in something that recalls my early morning glimpse through the window.

  4. Firstly I cannot tell you how lovely it was to read your comment on my post today - thank you so, so very much for your kind words.

    Secondly I adore your flower arranging skills and am so pleased it is not just me who is looking longingly at hedgerows of berries, wishing they were inside!

  12. hi- saw your blog on Jayne's sidebar and just had to come over and take a look.

    How lovely it all is- your photos sum-up the atmosphere so prettily.

    Mornings are getting quite autumnal now aren't they, and definitely the best time to be about (like you I'm also in wellies and pjs 1st thing!)

    The hydrangeas here have loved the wet weather and have gone shabby quite quickly. Every year I mean to dry them for a later display but somehow never get round to it

    Hope to come back again
