~ Sneak Peak ~







Here is a sneak peak of some of the new stock which is arriving daily at the new shop. These pretty vases were impossible for me to resist. I had never seen anything so pretty to hold my flowers in, ever! The hardest part about all this is trying to stop myself from taking everything home.
We are on track to open the doors of the new shop mid August, maybe sooner.
My neck is so stiff from painting I could die.
Hope you are having a great week.

    Quite pretty - never seen anything like them either. I always think of my grandmother when I see a butterfly, no idea why, just do.
    Can't wait to see the finished shop!

    The images didn't come up with the post [my computer has issues] so you had me fascinated because that's a pretty big call 'never, ever seen a vase so pretty', 'cause I know you are surrounded by gorgeous things all the time. But when I returned and these beauties slid down the screen, I had to agree wholeheartedly.
    The trouble is now which would I choose? Methinks perhaps the first for the shape and the delphiniums.
    Your store is going to be something to behold.
