. . . always lovely to have a saturday afternoon to spend at the market, and recently did just that: he, picking up ingredients for a new paella recipe, and i, happening upon the most charming bouquets of ranunculus and roses in stunning shades of sunset and cerise and — once home — utterly enchanted by each perfect petal caught in the golden rays of late afternoon light . . .

Hello!
Curious if you are planning to share more details on your coffee table gold leafing project. I am considering the same treatment for my own coffee table and would love to hear your process/materials/tips&tricks!

You two make me smile:) Paella and seafood risotto are my two favorite dishes. There is the BEST paella place in the city!

These photos are amazing, they capture the first days of spring perfectly!
Rhiannon Nicole – thank you!
Betta Gaeta – Happy Spring to you as well
Keri – such a lovely comment – thanks so much!
Felicity – actually have quite a few own photographs of flowers, but never posted them :) [] and yes, could not decided on the colours and there were so many pretty bunches, ended up with five – would have had one more, but ended up passing up a beautiful bouquet of white roses to an elderly lady [] so happy you noticed the gold leaf! and even more so that you like it — thought you might notice and actually had decided to practice on the coffee table first, and was such a huge project, that haven’t managed to try anything else, although may consider a carved wood mirror that’s too lovely to store away . . . [] wonderful spring wishes and smiles to you, dy and the cherubs ♥

You should do more of your photos ….. and especially of flowers :-)
I love how you buy not just one bunch but ( at least) 3:-)
And I have to laugh, do tell, has the the gold leafing project overflowed to the furniture??
If it has – it looks superb :-)
