Today I am linking in with Cathy from the lovely blog Rambling In The Garden. I have been reading Cathy’s daily posts about events in her garden for over a year now and was delighted when I saw yesterday’s title, ‘In A Vase On Monday’. Cathy has come up with the fantastic idea of setting herself the challenge of finding something from her garden to put in a vase every week and posting it on her blog on Monday’s. She has invited other bloggers to join in the challenge, so I am going give it a go.
Today when I went outside with my secateurs, I barely made it past the kitchen door before inspiration hit me. My pots of fuchsias are still in full bloom and I have never used fuchsia flowers in the house before. There is no time like the present, so a few snips later and I had this lovely vase of tiny pink and purple ballerinas:
As the sun was steaming through the kitchen windows this morning this shot feels more like mid July than mid November.
Now I need to head out to the garden for some ideas for next week (when I hope to post on time on Monday)!

No doubt you will have to go further than the kitchen door some weeks, Julie, but this shows how quick and simple the challenge can be – and don’t they look lovely, with the jug and the book as well? Hmm, I think the props are going to be an integral and interesting part of the challenge. Thanks for being the first to join in and for the ‘ping back’. I have added the web address (url?) of your post into the comment you left on my blog so other people know where to find yours š
Thank you Cathy – hopefully I will get it right next time. I am looking forward to linking up next week!
Julie
I look forward to it – and I need to get my thinking cap on for what to use when there is little obvious choice…
