Roses and Pomanders

This is one of the first roses out on my St Swithin bush, a lovely delicate pink with a soft scent.

Dear fellower bloggers and surfers of the net, do you recognise the above paper napkin? I got a couple of these in a napkin swap a while ago and I'm trying to find out where I can buy some. My friend who is getting married absolutely adores it and would love some to use at her wedding reception so if you know where I can get some I would be really grateful if you could drop me a line.

This is one of my favourite pomanders, egg-shaped with a sweet little forget-me-not flower on it.

These three are also favourites, two with Scottish themes with the Trossachs on one and heather on the other, and a lovely pink backgrounded one with flowers including roses.

Talking of roses I couldn't not show you another St Swithin bloom, just so perfect!

And my all time fave, a heart shaped pomander that hangs on my toilet cistern, with a very seventies boy and girl.

  1. I think the pattern is called "Classic Rose Poetry" There is a person on ebay in the UK selling packages of these.

  4. My boss is having an `Open Garden` tomorrow and I was wandering around it today, tidying up and weeding here and there when I spotted the most gorgeous pink rose and I asked The Gardener what kind of rose bush it was and he replied `it`s a St Swithin`s` and I said, `my friend Shaz has one of those`!Trust me, you`re in good company!Have a great weekend, Shaz - think of me trying to sell plants in the rain!
