I bought these pretty anemones from our local greengrocers yesterday. It was Elizabeth that spotted them and wanted to pick a bunch out and of course Archie had to have some too. I love how he smells the flowers - sniffing out rather than in. They are now sitting on the shelves in our living room in some jars I had saved.
I also had a go at making this sign letter filled with little succulents. I had seen something similar on Pinterest from here and as I had a bag full of letters in my shed I thought I would give it a go. I think it would have looked better with a few different types of succulents and some different colours though! I also have a couple of massive letters which I have been waiting to do something with and I'm thinking they would make great planters for the garden.
Linking in with Lou of little green shed and her nature in the home series.
La E es una preciosidad, super original.
ReplyDeleteoh very lovely, that letter is cool, exciting to see what happens when they grow.
ReplyDeleteGosh what a simply brilliant idea!!! I'm pinning it right now! xxx
ReplyDeleteThat is such a good idea. I shall have to keep my eye out for letters like that, it's a sweet effect I'd love to recreate!
ReplyDeleteI love it! I think the colours work well together, the texture of the plants bring it to life :) x
ReplyDeleteOh, anenomes are my absolute favourite! Love those colours.
ReplyDeleteAnemones are just so glamourous, I always think!
ReplyDeleteoh ever so gorgeous flowers! love the succulent planter as well. so so perfect!
ReplyDeleteHow lovely to find anemones in you local shop. I adore them but you hardly ever see them for sale. I tried to grow some once, but it didn't work so well. Gorgeous displays. That succulent filled metal letter is inspired!

What fun the E is ... such a brilliant idea! And those anemones are gorgeous! I'm glad I'm not the only one who saves old jam jars and such to use as vases :)
ReplyDeleteThat succulent E looks fabulous, & anemones are beautiful, love the colours of yours.
ReplyDeleteLove that E !! , look fantastic!!!!
ReplyDeleteXX
The colours are beautiful - the red, pink and purple work so well together. Anenomes have to be one of my favourites, but I can never track them down. The succulents look great too (I am intrigued about why you had a bag of letters in your shed though!)x
ReplyDeleteThanks Helen, I keep meaning to put them up on a wall somewhere but just haven't got around to it. My partner has a signs and graphics business so ocassionally brings home some letters for me - I have always loved them though! x
DeleteI love the anenomes ... definitely one of my favourites ... and I love jam jars as vases ... I have some tulips in a jar on my kitchen table today ... Bee xx
ReplyDeleteAnemones look vibrant in your photos. I love the letter idea, yours looks brilliant. katie x
ReplyDeleteYes, yes, yes to Anemones!!!! :D
ReplyDeleteAnd well done on the letter, I find succulants a bit intimidating, plus I am impressed at your shed hoard, I wish I had half as interesting things in mine,
