Happy Tuesday
Today saw the kind of activity that is unusual away from the pre-Christmas period.
Suddenly there was a rush of things to make up, orders to send out,- but by far the most exciting is that the first of the trial flower deliveries is winging its way to London.
It may not work, I may be back to the drawing board to redesign the packaging, many things could go wrong - but at the moment I am sending all my positive energy with it - I so hope that this all works.
This photo shows the bouquet in its box.
From tomorrow I am away for a few days - and when I am not thinking positive thoughts about the delivery, I am thinking excited thoughts about where I am going.
I am going here to meet this man and to learn about plant dyes and I am so excited. I am so excited and such a fan that I will no doubt end up speechless and giggly and back at school.
Hope you have a great time over the next few days. By the way congratulations - you're the typepad featured blog today!

Well I for one am very excited for you on both counts – crack London and the sky’s the limit!
Plant dyes? I am drooling.
Hope you have a lovely time Jane:)

How exciting. Is it run by The Mulberry Dyer? I'm always reading about their exciting projects in the Countryside Connection newsletter.

Your photographs are lovely and your flowers - breathtaking! So glad I found your blog (via Typepad's featured blog of the day) and happy to read about life in Scotland! Best wishes from upstate New York.

How very exciting on both counts Jane. I am particularly fascinated by natural dying. I grew up with my mother steeping wool in plant dyes on our home stove. I have all her recipe books and am longing to have time to experiment. The course sounds like a dream. enjoy!
Yours... dead jealous
