A surprise gift! by happypat

A surprise gift!

Our neighbour was in the other day & she admired my pink vase.
An hour later she was round again with these three artificial hydrangeas.
I was so pleased with them as they are a perfect shade to go with my kitchen & no need to buy fresh flowers as much.
From TKMax she just happened to have them spare!

Three good things:
1. An afternoon at the cinema watching Mrs Harris goes to Paris.
Very enjoyable although I did struggle to catch the words when they spoke with a French accent!
2. The drive chaps have been here all day preparing for the tarmac.
3. I’m enjoying my kindle book so much I have ordered it in paperback form. Not often I do that but it’s so interesting full of facts about dead bodies! Ha ha I know it sounds grim but it’s not…funnily enough I read it mostly in the middle if the night in my kindle.
All That Remains: A Life in Death by Professor Sue Black.
They are just right for your vase and look real. No mess and no need to change the water! Hopefully progress continues with the driveway.

Beautiful vase and matching flowers. Is your kindle book fact or fiction?

@busylady Fact Judith. Just Google Professor Sue Black.

My eyes were instantly drawn to the pink vase - how kind of your neighbour - the hydrangeas sit so well in it! As you say no need to buy fresh flowers so often - I have always a vase of artificial flowers in the hallway - arranged to look good in the corner!!!

What a lovely neighbour you have. The hydrangeas look beautiful in your pretty vase.

We are waiting to see Mrs Harris Goes to Paris at our local cinema. They keep showing clips of it but it never seems to appear on the program.

Saw See How They Run last week, have you seen it?

I've got some artificial hydrangeas and they have been in the title dark room with no windows for absolutely years! So good!

I remarked the other day to Ray that artificial flowers do not photograph well and now I am proved wrong! Lovely in their vase!

Gorgeous gift. Lovely when friends notice something special in your space.
I'm liking the sound of that book.i need something different for Allan's parcel...

They do match perfectly with the colour of the glass vase. Artificial flowers are today so close to real flowers that it is hard to believe they are not real.
