..the garden is my favourite place to be.
We are repainting the inside of the studio though…
…so I can’t work in there today.
I have lots to make for Open Studios this weekend….
I’ll be making inside the cottage though – the silver clay dries too quickly when I make things in the garden. I’ve tried it.
I shall have to make do with this tiny garden excerpt in the dining room.
Note: the exquisite willow obelisks in the first image were made by the stupendous Dottycookie. Her willow stick-bending skills know no bounds. If your delphiniums are in danger of toppling over she’s your woman.
Edited to add: I have linked up with Lou of Little Green Shed. I’m enjoying her Nature in the Home series immensely.

Your garden is lovely! I may head out into mine this afternoon, I have the border on a crochet throw to do but it is far too hot today to be draped in wool!!

Your garden is lovely, Emma. Good luck on your open studio. I just put up a blog post this morning showing our trip to an Indian reservation hot springs pool yesterday. I am not sure if you ever visit my blog. I have your blog on my link list, so I never miss one of your posts. Regards from Teresa in Oregon, USA

Your garden looks so fresh and cool and non-humid! (We are sweltering under a wave of humidity right now – but I must say my plants are loving it.)
What a beautiful place for a jug of flowers – that window cut out of the thick wall. Good luck with Open Studios. 🙂

Your garden really is delightful, and the simple pleasure of bringing jugs of its bounty indoors must make it more so 🙂
