Some more memories - Nature in the home

I have been consciously taking pleasure in this series of Lou's.  For me it is all part of being mindful, seeing and appreciating what is around you; and this little mantra I have been saying to myself recently 'If you look - you will see'.

I always like to bring something living back from the woods, or the garden to the house, I just haven't done it systematically before.  Nature in the home has slowly changed that - Come the middle of the week I begin to think..... My eyes found this tiny bottle on a shelf in my room early this morning.  My husband secretly bought it for me from a vintage stall in Hawes, on one of our first family holidays.  I had seen it earlier in the day and I think I had passed it up because, well I didn't really need it (money was tight) - but he went back and bought it for me as a surprise, he knew I loved it.

It's actually a little peach brandy bottle, in that very pale, dusky blush pink that I love so much.

As it was being remembered so fondly today, the wee vase needed something to show off and these tiny flowers, from a shrub in my rockery were the perfect colour and scale to match it.
