#MyMothersFavouriteBooks

I was tagged by the lovely bookish_ian who has recently lost his mother Wendy, to share a stack of books that my Mum loves. For every stack posted, he will donate $1 to the Garvan Institue of Medical Research in honour of Wendy

These are books or authors that I know my Mum loves or that are inextricably linked with her in my mind
💫Jane Eyre ~ we both share a love of this book and I remember several childhood Sundays when we watched the 1943 black and white film with Orson Welles
💫The Count of Monte Cristo ~ was my bedtime book for MONTHS which she doggedly preserved with because she loved this adventure story too
💫Josephine Tey ~ The Daughter of Time is one of her favourite books and she recently started a reread of it. The story of Richard III also reminds me of Mum as we visited Leicester together and his grave in Leicester Cathedral
💫Susan Hill ~ I saw The Woman in Black at the theatre with her when I must have been about ten and I was absolutely terrified
💫Agatha Christie ~ The theme tunes of David Suchet’s Hercule Poirot and Joan Hickson’s Miss Marple will forever remind me of both of my parents. They still rewatch both series now
💫Elizabeth Gaskell ~ Her particular favourite is North and South, but we both went to see Gaskell’s Manchester home together one hot June day

I’m so sorry for your loss Ian and thank you for encouraging me to think about how grateful I am to my Mum for my love of books. If I’ve tagged you or not, please do join in with this beautiful bookish challenge💫

‘Behind the design’ series continues on the Notebook (link in bio). Ten designs, created by the same person (me!) from the same selection of flowers, in the same vessel on the same day.  The only variables are my mood and time. 
Created for a real wedding a couple of years ago, all very different, yet still cohesive. Delicate, individual pieces of art that can get overlooked in favour of dramatic bigger picture overviews. Not made to a recipe or to match each other but to be a single representation of that one moment in time.
All the designs, in much more detail along with close ups, my thoughts and process are in the notebook on the website now☝️

For everyone who voted in my stories about the color of Dahlias I got at #traderjoes “pink” was right, although I could have taken them all! I was finally able to shoot them last night, the light was beautiful but the mosquitoes were rampant. Anyway here’s one that made it to the final cut. See a pullback in my stories.

When this tree comes out in our garden (I can never remember the name) it truly feels like the start of Spring, and the chard picked this week was simply too picturesque not to photograph

A mason jar arrangement I made for my sissy last year🥰⁠ Dahlias, zinnias, strawflower, celosia, eucalyptus, amaranth, statice . . . all grown right here on the farm. We had plenty of fails our first year, but I was so proud of what we were able to put together!⁠⁠
⁠⁠
I really hope this year is a better dahlia year.⁠⁠
⁠⁠
We've gotten a few inquiries if we plan to sell our surplus dahlia tubers and the answer is YES! Hopefully for 2022, but I want to make sure I do this with the utmost quality and integrity.⁠⁠
⁠⁠
We could have done a small run this year, but I take the responsibility very seriously. I wanted to grade myself doing this on a larger scale before offering them (storage, labeling, viable eyes, clean stock, etc).⁠⁠
⁠⁠
So, we'll see how this year goes🤞, but as a teaser, we do have lots of coveted varieties like Castle Drive, Linda's Baby, Cupcake, Chewy, Appleblossom, Sweet Nathalie, Karmel Korn, Peaches n Cream, all the Joweys, etc. (yes, I am one of those crazy dahlia people who sets multiple alarms for the sales, and I have ZERO shame about it😬)⁠⁠
⁠⁠
Cross your fingers with me and stay tuned. And tell me if there is a variety you absolutely loooooove👇 I will use any excuse for more🤣⁠. Like I said, no shame🤷‍♀️.⁠⁠

When one of your floral heroes asks you to deliver a bouquet to one of your flower growing heroes 😅

Speaking of heroes this Friday and Saturday you can watch some of my other heroes from the worlds of flower farming and floristry at the Flower Power Festival. The Charterhouse in London have curated a two day festival of talks and demonstrations by florists leigh.chappell.flowers floralevolution, growers and florists hattieflower, wolveslaneflowercompany, the great shaneconnollyandco and the beautiful work of jannelford too. Lots to see and I’ve done a little bit on British flowers and how to pick flowers from your garden. Link is in my bio.

Having spent what feels like weeks pruning my roses I’ve finally done them all (keep reading for why it took me so long 🥴🙈). When I’m pruning, as well as the usual secateurs I also carry a trowel and a few pots of garden soil around with me and any really vigorous looking prunings get plunged into the pot. I then nestle the pot at the base of the mother plant as ‘comfort and security’ 🙄 for the potential new plants . Most won’t work, it’s definitely a ‘survival of the fittest, school of hard knocks’ technique but if just one takes it will be worth it. So I now have all sorts of pots scattered around the garden 🪴 
Oh, and the reason it took me so long ... I have one hundred and twenty seven roses 😳🙈😩 Sad thing is, as soon as I had totted them up, my immediate thought was ‘well that’s a silly number and should really be rounded up by at least three’ ...🥴😆
Weirdly my garden actually isn’t that big and it doesn’t look particularly rosey 🤔🤷🏻‍♀️

IG rant - Looks like hashtags are not a way to engage anymore. Has anyone seen a drop in engagement lately? Turns out that with the new search feature where you can search for keywords now, hashtags are not the only way to look for contents anymore. I was surprised to see this change in my own insights (sharing some screenshots in my stories), where my numbers have dramatically changed and sometimes getting zero engagement from hashtags compared to about 80%+ in the past. It’s been said to keep using them but it will now be more of a lucky shot to get good engagement with them... the never ending exhausting IG game 😓 (rant over)

Here’s to celebrating our glorious Mother Earth today and every day! 🥂🌎🌷

This gathering was a celebration of food, nature and likeminded friends at @thewunderkammer_urbanfarm in the spring of 2019. 

Surrounded by an abundance of blooming potted flowers + plants, animals, various gardens, a wild meadow and beautiful life-sized topiaries that flanked each end of the table we sat at...it was one of those magical evenings thats exceptional beauty and spirit was made possible by Mother Earth...and the thoughtful aesthetic of @thewunderkammer_amsterdam, of course!

Two springs ago @juliepaisley and I traveled to the Netherlands to experience the rainbow of flowers that bloom across the country. The sun barely made an appearance during our entire trip but that didn’t stop the glorious spectrum of color that captured our hearts day in and day out. 🌷 🌈 

During our trip we had the “pinch myself” opportunity to meet with @thewunderkammer_amsterdam for an evening of floral fun. ⬆️ That glorious photo above was designed by the artful design duo for our gathering! #myheartsaflutter 

While I haven’t been able to share the story of our time in Amsterdam as I’d hoped in the magazine, I will be sharing it here over the course of the next few weeks. I hope you enjoy this colorful dose of spring in Holland!

PS - I’m currently sharing an opportunity to flower alongside The Wunderkammer over at @the_floral_pantry!! Be sure to check it out to flower the day away with us!
