...I thought I would give you a teeny peek of both my handmade and homegrown autumn flowers; I have been tinkering with the crocheted rose pattern above off and on this year, and I think I'm finally getting it close to the look I'm after... The bouquet below is picked from my garden at the lake in the last few days; it might very well be the last bunch of flowers I pick there this year as I'm off to Scotland to see my daughter, who is studying in Edinburgh (I can't wait!), as well as sight-see a bit of that spectacular-looking country... I will be back in about three weeks (at which point I will re-open my Etsy shop which I've closed for the time I'm away) and, if I spot some Scottish woolly goodness, I will be sure to post it on my Instagram page. I hope you all have a lovely end to the month and thanks so very much for popping by!...
