Spring is finally springing so we’re looking forward to the ornamental cherry tree in our garden to begin flowering in the next few weeks.
In the meantime, have a look at the fantastic colour range of the peach blossom on the trees in this orchard in Japan.
Aren’t these roses beautiful? I bet they’re dead easy to make… I only wish that I paid more attention and showed a bit more interest when my mother tried to teach me to crochet when I was young!

We’ve just bought a couple more of these gorgeous vintage 1960s embroidered pictures.
We already had this orange & blue wool work flower stem displayed in our bedroom.
We’re thrilled with our two new acquisitions – the workmanship is just amazing.
The design, textures & colours in this butterfly are just spectacular!
The same comments apply to this fabulous giant sunflower.
They were produced using a wide variety of wools, threads and stitches… the hand embroidery taking many, many hours to complete.
They have a real period feel, but are quite timeless – adding a lovely vintage handmade touch to any style of interior.
The vintage skirt below was the inspiration for today’s post. It recently caught my (Adelle’s) eye in the window of one of Manchester’s Northern Quarter vintage shops – a real bargain at just £2!
So this post is going to be a feast of fab flowers…
A gallery of items that incorporate daisy motifs or simple, stylised blooms.
These striking patterns often catch our eye on a crowded market stall or auction room full of boxes.
We had so many examples to chose from – this is just a small selection…
…hope you enjoyed our choices!
