Brooke in Bloom

My very talented lil sis took these awesome shots of me working on the Christmas decorations. It was her very first time using a camera with film! Oh gosh, can you even imagine? It's a whole nother world. 

Christmas in Bloom

So my Christmas ideas were thrown into turmoil by a new set of blue Moroccan style plates. Probably for the best, as the Prahran market was a bit short on foliage, and you can't go to the Melbourne Flower Markets unless you are a pro. I ended up with beautiful deep pink Calla Lilies, roses and lilies, and white and lilac hydrangeas

Christmas Ideas Blooming

I have LOTS of ideas for a floral Christmas this year. I'm thinking wild green foliage, like asparagus ferns and white bulbous flowers like roses with some hydrangeas thrown in. Unfortunately, the Christmas table is in Melbourne, and I will be in Sydney til Friday night, and I have heard that decoration has already begun without me! Hopefully I will be able to get some of my ideas in on Saturday. Until then, I have to satisfy myself with internet inspiration, including this great feature done by Saskia Havekes of Grandiflora for Inside Out magazine last year.

Christmas in Bloom

I'm not feeling very Christmasy this year, but these little pressie for some of my buddies gave me a small, if unsustained, jolt of festive. They are for my friends who live on my street, so I went around and stole street flowers for the arrangements. That's ok right?
