My Magnolia's and the Peony's I purchased.

These beautiful Magnolia flowers are from the Magnolia Grand Flora tree that sits so proudly in my front garden.  These blooms were hanging on a low branch and beckoned me to pick them........

and these are the Peonis that wanted to come to my house.....

An afternoon In My Garden. Hey look! Rowan is finally crawling #16

Monday 's always lots to do on the to do list and usually not a lot of motivation.  A bit of a shakey start to the weather, so I got all the boring bits and pieces out of the way early.  Dyeing the buttons for a couple of really cute sun dresses I'm working on wasn't too boring, infact,  I found it fun, who doesn't like water play.  Off to the shops with Rowan and then to the plant nursery, I have a little space in the front garden that needs a little colour.  Have I told you I really love gardening.  In the afternoons, I often put Rowan in his pram, he loves it outside and I spend an hour in the garden with him.  It's in the garden that I get most of my inspiration for my designs.  

Rowan is fascinated with the poodles, Louis is waiting for Rowan to throw him the ball. 

Ha! I have the ball and I'm finally off, I crawled today really did it!

I planted four pots of Italian Lavender

 A new rose 'Firestar'

Thank you for sharing a Monday in my life.  Life is wonderful!
