every cloud has a silver lining xxx

you know the saying every cloud has a silver lining...well yesterday every silver lining had a cloud...Dawn was at the shop keeping all things lovely, I was planing a window garden at the fab,new "fast" food venue Marthas, in the beautiful building, the hat box in St.Vincent St...the herbs,rosemary,thyme,sage,lavender & mint all smelt great , the stephanotis were stunning, all was good, bar me, my throat was sore and I was shivering, call me the mistress of misery...anyhow as you must, you get the job done, looked good...you need to go and check it out, food smells real good,all organic and sourced from great scottish suppliers & staff were lovely...next stop for me was the docs..diagnosis..tonsilitis..must have caught off my wee Rory..




Over to you Dawn & Caroline, thank the Lord for those gals

Morning, I've had a couple of well needed days off, leaving the lovely gals Dawn and Caroline in the shop, creating enchantment no doubt....I'll be off on a road trip right this very minute, we're heading up to one of our favourite venues, The Lodge, I love the drive up there, through devils elbow, sounds scary & it can be, esp if you're like me and pay more attention to the flora & fauna than the road..have had a few close calls..  ..the setting is a photographers dream..I'll pop some pics on later...Tatty bye

It's been awhile since we posted...you know how it is, somedays you're just chasing your tail!..we got these gorjus sapphire blue, sooooooooooo nice...but...those wee buds at the base of the stem that are so fragile..well I wasn't careful wth them!! so they ended up on the plate...sometimes when things go wrong it's the right thing xxxxxxx
