My mother has always had lots of large pots of geraniums growing on her verandah. No family dinner or lunch is complete without some sort of flower arrangement on my mothers dining table and geraniums have often filled the void when other options aren't flowering in her garden. I thought I'd post a couple of her little geranium arrangements. You won't believe it when I tell you the last image is actually in her old bedroom at my grandmother's house. The black and white ticking wallpaper which you can see in the background has been on those walls for around 40 years! Mum chose the wallpaper for her room when she was a teenager. Now doesn't that spell timeless....
I love!!!

ReplyDeleteHI Anna, speaking of wallpaper, can you please tell me where i can get Kelly Wearstler's Imperial trellis in black, as we are building a new home and the plasterers have just finished and i would like this wallpaper for my black and white themed bathrooms.
