nature in the nest...

more stealth floggery from me this week im afraid....same shabby garden, but this week I stopped for a while and was selective....I think im becoming quite brazen.
its definitely a sign that my floggery (yes its a word!) (no its bloody not!)
is escalating...maybe I have a problem?
they were nabbed late yesterday afternoon, I promptly plonked them in this tin, slapped them on the mantle and went about my business....only to wake this morning to a huge puddle on the floor....yep ye old tin leaks!!
 
so they landed here in ye old dish drainer and that is where they will likely stay!.
of course they wont stay there!....I do wash dishes you know!
 
 











I think im going to make an effort to have fresh pickings in more than one room....see told you it was escalating.
sharing with the lovely lou.
go on...shove a stick in a glass and join in.
 
hope the sun is shining on you wherever you are!

ps...jesus says hi! x

  1. You and your sticky fingers will be getting a bit of a rep in the hood Allison! Might be time to say a few prayers and ask for forgiveness from you know who?!

  5. They look stunning in that beautiful tin. Glue a cut-off fizzy drink bottle in the bottom to keep the water in. Happy floggery x

  6. You are a floral GENIUS! That is beautiful.

    And I'm totally impressed by your brazen floggery (totally a word), I'm far too timid to steal from other people gardens. I have vague childhood memories of being verbally abused after fleecing someone's camellia bush. I may have to start stealing again to create a new happy flower stealing memory!

  7. Gorgeous! Lovely tin too. Put a jar in it, it makes a beautiful vase. I'm always "borrowing" from neighbourhood gardens! x

  12. Beautiful pix Al, they're gorgeous! Great happy colours. Maybe you're just selectively pruning?? You know if we were neighbours you could totally nick my flowers if you pulled the weeds out along with them! Then everyone wins. xx

  16. I can't imagine having a garden with so many beautiful flowers in it and letting it go to wrack and ruin. I'm glad you're getting some enjoyment out of them, even if the owner isn't.
