money doesn't grow on trees, darling,..blah,blah

ok.. I know Grace is only young, but she's old enough to earn her pocket money...

up with the larks..seriously I was!

 i left the curtains open, which meant the sun was peeping in my window at an early hour this morning.. I tried to go back to sleep but  wasn't happening" ma heid was mince"{ a great turn of phrase}.. at least I didn't have the usual morning madness of barking at my kids to get up,get breakfast{sometimes}get dressed{all the time}get homework,schoolbags, car...you get the picture....
pleasantly today i can linger a little....so with a cuppa in hand , really to keep my hands warm, still cold outside..i thought about tackling my garden and I was rewarded with these little gems above..
there is a tonne of work to be done so that's my Sunday mornings for the next few weeks..might have to rope in a few helpers..

Arty Farty buisness {spelling Michael, please}

 Here Michael is {again} doing a beautiful vase arrangment for an Art exhibition in glasgow. We tinted the water a very pale pink colour & filled the arrangment with lovely pure white tulips, margeuerittes & thaspi bell.

And heres the finished product, all very vintage grandeur with the beautiful flowing thaspi & tulips draping down the sides of the vase . This will look gorgeous next to some beautiful art work :)

Just a wee thing for Westwood :)

 We loved doing this beautiful wild bunch for the Vivienne Westwood store in glasgow. What a goregeous mix of thaspi, dille, thistles and veronica all put together in a beautiful black statement vase. GORGEOUS !!!!

Michael making his vase arrangment for the one and only Miss Westwood, he loves a wild one this boy does :)

Always a busy day at Ruby Flowers

keeps those little hands busy all day long :D

Yes the wall has been painted !!! :)

 We were feeling it was time for a change today, SO... we painted the wall blue and made some beautiful wild bunches in jugs. anemones, ranuncs, stocks and veronica all teamed with beautiful foliage and some candles to add that wee bit extra.

Just a little close up of the gorgeous Dille and hanging lisianthus. 
                   BOLD is definitely the way to go!! those orange tulips and purple anenomies are simply beautiful.



Successful day - WE think so !! :)
