The Crown!

 Bed Bath and Beyond has become my favourite store...
I have always wanted a crown...
I have no idea why, 
I just think they are so cool...
and look what I found!

 Fabulous spinal detail...

 In fact gorgeous detail everywhere...
then I worked out, 
if you separate the two pieces, 
you can have a metal basket, 
and a crown...
two for the price of one. 
And the price was sale at $15.99! 
WOW!

Ah but what to put inside the crown...
I don't need another candle 
so I went to Farmers and bought this jar ($2.99), 
which of course could hold a wee posy of flowers 
or just look lovely as it is.






Camelia bud...

Lovely creamy white camellia bud...






Bird House Gourd...

When the rats decided my gourds were delicious, a lot ended up a bit holey!
So I used the ones with bird sized holes to make birdhouses. 
First I painted the inside of the gourd white, then the outside a lovely yellow.
I love butterflies, so there was no question what to decorate the outside with...
a pretty blue butterfly on a leafy branch.

Banksian Rose...

What a stunner...
I never prune this rose so that the canes grow up through the cherry tree and camelias.
A perfect picture against the pink of the other flowers.  
This is a Banksia Rose in double white - 'Alba Plena'.
