Golden Ochre / The Good Stuff

Ah yes, the golden ochre finale. ‘Tis been rather quick, though, so I won’t be all dramatic.

Ta da:


[Sweet little quicksand rose – you’re a sweet beauty.]

All in all, quite delicate. A touch more colorful than I’d anticipated, but maybe that’s my tick of including more and more beautiful, colorful, flowers. Could be a sweet little arrangement for a special occasion, or a bridal or baby shower [as one reader already contacted me about – I love the world wide interwebs!], or even quite possibly a wedding, with a little tinkering. Or a flexible budget.
