Floral Overload

Nature had produced a floral overload in my front garden with this pretty pink rose , Cherub, really
outdoing herself this year. Not to be outdone by Mother Nature I donned my floral wrap from Ted
Baker that reminds me of an olde world painting with its black background and pot pourri of blooms.

I paired the wrap with a plum coloured skirt , a recycle gem that has made a previous appearance
in Winter guise, and my grey cardigan with its fringe edges from Sabatini. I am enjoying rediscovering my cardigans again after not wearing them for a few seasons, so glad I don’t part with
old favourites just because they haven’t been worn continually.My orange, pink and mauve sandals
have seen several Summers and are the ultimate in comfort.

The cream rose is named Seafoam and is one of a pair of weeping roses that I planted many years
ago . Today it is a wonderful backdrop for my grey hat that I purchased from a milliner at a pop up
Makers Market in Paris.

    Gorgeous! Love plum and grey, the floral wrap is indeed just like an old master, and the knitted hat matches your cardigan perfectly. Those sandals look fab too, stunning colours!

      Thankyou so much for your kind words, plum and grey are colours I don't often wear but I rather liked them together . The wrap is very much like an old master, that's why it came home. Hope all is well in your part of the world.

    That wrap is absolutely gorgeous. Did it take you back to Monet's garden? (And by the way, I think your own garden rivals his!!!)

      Oh yes, Marea many happy memories of my visit to Monet's garden.I do hope one day to see the garden with its Summer blooms. Not sure about my garden rivalling but I would like the army of garden helpers.

      Thanks so much Jess, when I spied this a while ago it so much reminded me of a painting I knew I had to have it.Our weather over the Winter has been the opposite , very wet but it has been good for the roses.Thankyou for hosting.
