new pretties

I found some lovely vintage teacups to do odd things with. I think I'm pleased with the result.

I think I would usually be rather disturbed to find a bird had built its nest in my teacup, but he liked how the flowers matched his little blue feathers.

Perhaps this is the result of a little too much fun gardening.

Pretty flowers for a dreary Wednesday

I found this in an old children's book that belonged to my grandmother when she was a child in the 20's.

If you have any use for this illustration please feel free, as she's out of copywrite and it seems a pity to leave her shut in an old book forever.

I liked how sweetly cheery she is and her little, bright bundle of flowers. I think I should come up with some springy craft project for her. Either that or she may, in fact, be adorable on the lavender sachet I've been meaning to make for my coat closet.
