ADVENTURES OF THE UNKNOWN

Did I tell you how much I love Saturdays.   Well, I do.  It's my day to go and explore and where I end up is anybody's guess.  I can tell you that most likely, you will see me wandering right to where colour and scents co-mingle and where vibrant things are that you can feast your eyes upon.  It feeds my soul and brings me to my happy place.  And the best part about me living on an Island is you can Island hop anytime you want.  And today, I hopped over to another Island, and my soul was not only fed but also inspired!

From the wonderful flower stalls







To going to one of my all time favourite stores!











To coming home with my bouquet from the flower market!



Unfortunately, someone neglected to tell me that
Sea Holly smells like Pooh!  Eeee Gads!

Oh well, it looks pretty!
 Live and learn I say, live and learn!


This weekend I am joining Seasonal Sundays and Today's Flowers
and thank The Tablescaper and Flowers from Today for hosting same.
If you get a chance hop over to these links and see what others are up too!

Happy Weekend to You All.

And make sure you check out my Thank you Giveaway!


Until Next Time

    Oh you made me laugh with that last comment. I'm going to do a double take and u-turn if I ever see that Sea Holly :) Sure does look pretty though, as do all those other great photographs. Thanks for sharing them with Today's Flowers.
