Nature in the Home


Here is a simple moment from my Easter weekend. My mother's Bougainvillea in her sun room. I sat beside this papery beauty and read my book and watched the children playing in the garden. This is a lovely memory to progress through the week with.

Thanks Lou for making my eyes take in the beauty around me.

    1. Thanks Karen, it was behind a blind that is pulled in the corner of the room, hence the lovely light and textures. I did love those teacups you posted, just lovely, Jo xx

    1. Hi Suzie - lovely of you to comment. I guess the 'linen' look is the textured blind behind. I think it helped with the light and detail, Off to pay your place on the net a visit, Jo xx
