I watched the little Vimeo through twice it was so beautiful. I did not know about bashing the hydrangea stems with a hammer so thank you for that tip. Your new/old box for your seeds turned out just beautiful, what a treasure it will be & if you ever stop storing seeds, it could be used for lots of other things. Mind you, you will probably always be collecting seeds I feel. Your little verse is just perfect, I loved the little bee that joined you all on the rug for tea. Have a wonderful week dear girl. much love across the miles x x x xJuliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08301647145550214950noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2026836570304833522.post-43049774009013063202016-02-14T14:05:24.532+13:002016-02-14T14:05:24.532+13:00Magnificent photo's!

It looks like what we call Queen Anne's lace except ours is all white. The purple is beautiful! So fairy-like. I would love some seeds.<br /><br />The blue flower, in the foreground of the pic with your sweetheart opening the wine....it looks like our chicory. I used to pick bouquets for my mother when I was a little girl & was always sad the the blooms only lasted a few hours. <br /><br />Beautiful, beautiful quote by Hollie Holden...I had never considered that before. <br /><br />much love xoJennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00305409125105992525noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2026836570304833522.post-33201985070632700872016-02-14T11:38:09.914+13:002016-02-14T11:38:09.914+13:00Hello Catherine,
