Lately I have been noticing groups of gorgeous, glorious colours around me, so thought I would do a little series featuring colour. So starting this month - Fuchsia.
The vivid, unmistakable yet simple style and colour of the fuchsia is an endearing childhood memory for me. We had a fuchsia bush at the edge of our garden and I used to love popping the blooms, making them open a little sooner to see the little "ballerina" dresses inside.
Here is my happy little collection...

Here is my happy little collection...
- A fuchsia embroidery I made for The Hottie Project.
- Lovingly hand knitted slippers from the ever-gorgeous Forest Folk shop. A fund raiser for the kindergarten orchard project at our little girl's Steiner school.
- Felted fuchsia wool being made into my little winter hats.
- Vintage fuchsia embroidery, borrowed from my stash for a tea-party on the deck (actually a pic taken last year which I recently found)

I loved doing the exact same thing with the fuschia bush at my childhood home. I love this colour and the last photo is so adorable.
ReplyDeleteSuch a pretty lovely warm colour x
ReplyDeleteI smiled at your fushia flower memory
ReplyDeleteI too used to do that
Hello Lisa..I adore all your fuschia gatherings! Little Nina my niece always picks fuschias ballerina from my garden when she comes to visit. A friend showed me once how you can make a hole through the stem with a fat needle & then poke the skinny stem that the flower was hanging on through the hole to make the dancer some arms....very sweet. Those little slippers are dazzlingly gorgeous!! I just love all those colours together. I always fancy them as being Bohemian colours. They are so full of life & sumptuousness. It looks like you had a lovely birthday. What delightful requests : ) You are capturing some very precious moments with your photos. Really real treasures not just snap shots. Much love for a happy week. Catherine x0x0x
