greener pastures, midnight green actually


they go together like rama lama lama ke ding a de dinga a dong, remembered for ever like shoo bop shoo wadda wadda yipitty boom de boom
[yes. from grease. i know!]

and they really seem to fit in with one another too! thrifted at different moments in the same shop, they may even have lived together at one stage, who will tell?

the linen table runner is unused, might shrink, will sing its song in our new home though.

the vase is one in a million… my million : i have too many vases by now. today, i have been wrapping up vases, i’ve given plenty of vases away, and i broke one in the washing just now. bell will be upset. it’s the huge, petrol (that would be midnight green) coloured one she brought along last saturday, the one we thrifted a while ago and was too big for the train ride. sorry dear. i guess she was a vase who didn’t want to live with me. gone to vase heaven. what can i say.

  1. The colours are wonderful and so are your photographs. Maybe the broken vase could be kept to be mosaicked into something new?

  2. Yes, I was thinking mosaics too. The linen may shrink a little but who cares - linen is the best!

  7. Lovely lovely! Great pics and great colours! Make the broken vase into jewellery and then you can wear it whenever you like - far too pretty to toss!
