£1.98


This cheerful sight greeted me when I got up today. 2 bunches of British grown daffodils, 99p each, in bloom!

The larger vase is by the exceptional talent Karin Eriksson, which I purchased a few years ago at the Chelsea Craft Fair. It's dated 2003. The pattern continues inside the vase, which somehow makes it more beautiful when it's empty.

The small vase is by Anne Black, one of my favourite ceramic artists. This was a gift from my sweet and very stylish friend, Deerylou, and I simply love it!

Now that I live in a country where orchids are ten a penny and I've got birds of paradise growing like weeds in my back yards, I long for daffies and the Spring.
They make everything ok, for some reason.
Love your vases too.
Thanks for dropping by me too. You and your husband are setting a high benchmark!
