Blanca's gifts

I have not the slightest idea how Blanca guessed how much I admired her gorgeous flowers, especially her peonies.  I was thrilled when she asked me for my mail address and offered, just like the generous person that she is, to send me some of her precious flowers.  We decided on a swap but mine has not yet reached her.  In fact, I sent my parcel the same day I received Blanca's.  I can only hope that she likes what I sent her, half as much as I am thrilled with her gifts.  If you cannot get Blanca's blog now, as there seem to be some temporary difficulties with maintaining it, try later. You will find there fabulous, step by step tutorials on making peonies and hyacinths. http://quepequenoeselmundo.blogspot.co.





These beautiful flowers will be just right for my potting shed.

I finished a potting bench, made of scratch.  I also made two trays with sprouting plants. I hope you
like it.  The shed itself is yet to be built but meantime I'll be adding little items, one by one.




The hyacinths on the top shelf were made following Blanca's tutorial.

And a warm and welcome hug to new followers
