Being a Mom is Blooming Marvelous!

Happy Mother's Day to all the wonderful mom's out there. I have had a lovely Mother's Day so far. Cute boys bearing special gifts... red Lindt balls, roses, scented candles and indulgent Clarins hand creme... followed by breakfast in bed and an instruction to stay in bed till it's time to get showered and dressed for lunch at a surprise destination. A glorious, uninterrupted morning in bed, I do what any self-respecting mom should do .... light a scented candle, pop a Lindt ball into my mouth and settle into some blogging....bliss! 

My Mother's day gift to you is a collection of pretty floral pictures to ensure that you all have a "Blooming Marvelous" day!

Till next time

Why Roses and Rust?

I pondered for a long time on what to name my blog. I finally settled on "Roses and Rust" (I actually wanted "Rust and Roses" but it was already taken!). To me, roses epitomise beauty, elegance and perfection whereas rust signifies old, weathered,  battered and messy. I love the contrast between the two and I love having both elements in my home (although maybe not the messy part!).These photos are taken around my home and garden although the roses are from my sister's garden, sadly not my own!

                                     

The rusty old table above was found at a junk shop - a present from my husband and one of my favourites.

This rusty piece was found at a flea market
