A day in the garden with Macey

What a beautiful day its been out in the sunshine working away in the garden. My little friend Macey has been closely by my side the whole day digging along side with me. She is so funny; i am sure she thinks she is helping me. Things are all starting to shoot now and it wont be long before we see blossom forming on the trees.

This is a new double hellebore which i have just bought. I have the white one and it is doing really well and has even self-seeded. I love the mass they provide in the garden.

Here is a sneak preview of my new chooks, aren't they beautiful.

My number one helper today; love having her with me and so happy that she came back home.

The single pink hellebore in the background with the small white/blue comfrey in the fore ground. Cant wait to get everything cleaned up with the potager all prepared for some vegetable planting. I am going to put some lettuces , herbs and other goodies as soon as it is ready. Wish i had another couple of days to get things all finished. Take care and i will post some more shop photos tomorrow for you to see .....more new things.

Just some close ups....

Our beautiful new fragrance of orange flower in our range of body products......just so fresh.

Range of wrapping we use for our complimentary gift wrapping in store.

Nothing like a rustic looking clock face or set of kitchen scales.

Just to let all those wonderful people know that have been emailing me on prices etc that i have been swamped with emails and yes eventually i will get through them and reply to you....its just me so between invoicing, unpacking new stock, re-merchandising and sales i try to write a post on my blog site or answer my emails. So a big sorry to all those still waiting but i will get around to it.

Busy, busy, busy...

More new stock has started to arrive; new linen cushion with red stripe as in the photo above.

All our stock from Africa including these cute little wire owls in this photo.

I feel like hopping in the bed after completely re-merchandising the whole store.

New clocks.....with more to come.

Looking across the store. Today we received a box full of beautiful french soaps of various sizes and scents....all gorgeous. We also received some more lighting....with more on the way. Already the quilts have sold well so there are a lot more still to arrive to keep us warm on those still cool evenings.

Raspberry and Neutrals

These lovely wine bottle holders look great on the outdoor tables for summer entertaining.

Some of our new quilts...with a lot more still coming.

Quilts and gorgeous reading.....oh and a glass of good red.

This is a great example of raspberry and neutrals from a book we have in store called At Home with Cabbages and Roses. Take care and have a great weekend.

More cushions have just arrived. I think these would look great at the beach house.

Yet more goodies in store.

The new wire cloches look fantastic on the dining table or simply hanging on the wall as a decoration. The white french dinner set is also a lovely addition to any dining table.

The plate rack is a great option for keeping plates stored or simply a few special ones on display.

These lovely zinc blackboards are great for leaving a cute message or writing out a grocery list.

Gorgeous pharmaceutical bottle with wire net over the gorgeous label.

The boot last is a great decoration ; great talking point.

Elements of design

The lovely texture of string , useful and organic.

Beautiful tags and stationary piled onto a stack of linen.

The smell of french verbena block soap.....sometimes reminds people of the verbena plant in grannies garden.

And colour. How many colour greens we can see in a Kale cabbage.

More new stock

Things are arriving in nearly daily. Today we received a whole lot of quilts which is perfect timing for this weather, as our nights can be still a bit cold but our days lovely. Also with spring cleaning thoughts floating around customers will be thinking of a variety of ways to give their rooms a new look. Hopefully the cushions will arrive soon and that will be another way to freshen things up for spring. I am in the mood for a real change around at home its just convincing hubbie to help me move some of my bigger more heavier pieces. I will post some photos if my plans are successful.

A window display of my new garments that have arrived. Already creating a lot of interest which is great. Oh well i better shut shop and get home to cook tea for the tribes. Take care everyone.
