rosy glow

My best ideas always come so late. As I was plating up the rosebud madeleines for the fete today (complete with petals and rosebuds from my garden) I realised what a great presentation idea it would be to buy some vintage cake plates and present them on those. Op Shops often have gorgeous little vintage rose plates for around a dollar and they would look ever-so-pretty. I'm going to start hunting around for next year!

    Those look simply marvelous darling! I've spent the day decorating for Halloween- carved 7 pumpkins and strung lights and lights and lights and all sorts of stuff- made the husband quite unhappy to be my helper for all this. I have LOADS of pumpkin seeds to roast for spicy pepitas, sweet pepitas, savory pepitas, you name it- roasted pumpkin seeds will be happening!

    I must come to the US one year for Halloween - I just adore it, but it's still teensy in Aus. Your decorations sound divine - please post a pic on your blog when you're done.

    I do have something nibbling on the buds of my heritage - I don't know if we get thrip here though - probably just the aphids (although at least they bring the ladybirds in!). We're constantly picking off the blackspot affected leaves, and trying to feed every three weeks so they're nice and healthy. It does seem to work. And thanks for the compliments girls! x
