He saw the opportunity to make a deal you could both profit from. <br /><br /> As for your peonies: they are so beautiful that I think there is the potential for a new swap on the horizon.<br /><br />AnnaAnna at the Doll Househttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18282617177491266907noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5780522597277275065.post-77410372870452292962011-05-11T01:43:10.131+01:002011-05-11T01:43:10.131+01:00How stunning the crimson looks against the white! ...How stunning the crimson looks against the white!

The hubby and I try to use them as much as possible.

At the moment it's large poppies that seem to dominate... a purple one that when it goes over changes to a bronzey brown crepe paper-like flower, still beautiful. And the other is bright salmon pink, flowers the size of small dinner plates, in a shadey spot which they brighten up no end.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5780522597277275065.post-4353943736167904422011-05-10T09:48:24.442+01:002011-05-10T09:48:24.442+01:00That's a LOVELY story, and, you're right, ...That's a LOVELY story, and, you're right, it perfetly captures the loveliness of local shops.

Now, as you say, try doing that at some out of town, DIY store.<br /><br />Like you, we think that it is so important to use local shops and services. When in Budapest, where we live for most of the time, all of our food shopping comes from the local market and a small grocer's shop - never from a supermarket. Here in Brighton we use our local neighbourhood shops.<br /><br />Your flowers in their white container are lovely - simple and very fresh looking.Jane and Lance Hattatthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16831890261259302647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5780522597277275065.post-4855997187055370932011-05-10T08:04:01.378+01:002011-05-10T08:04:01.378+01:00Charming beautiful post.
