I have a small collection of watering can roses that I really rather love. They're all handsome metal ones of course - none of that green plastic muck. I thought I would take the opportunity today to parade them in front of you.This is the biggest one - hello. This one is slightly smaller but stands up of its own accord, which is rather good. I like all their shapes and perforations, they have real character. This one is handsome in copper.The slightest variations are nice in a collection. I always think of the effort that goes into manufacturing even the tiniest things: the constant tweaking and improving

And these teeny little one entered the brood this weekend - courtesy of my Mum.
So there you go. It's always good to have a hobby, even if it is collecting watering can roses.
In other news. I'm headed down to Devon tomorrow to play my guitar and sing songs in front of a room full of people. What a strange thing to do - when I was asked it seemed so far in the future I just flippantly said I'd do it. But now the future is quickly becoming the present and I'm feeling a little bit completely unprepared. The Wolves, who organised it, are dead good - go look at their website.
I'll let you know how it goes.
You have a lovely collection of watering can roses. Good luck with the performance, I'm sure that you will knock everyone's socks off.

ReplyDeleteWhat a nice collection. The rectangular one in copper is especially lovely. Good luck with your music/room full of people thing.
ReplyDeleteyou are a girl of many talents for sure. 'Break a leg' is supposedly a wishing-good-luck thing to say, so I say it. Love your collection and your photos of it.
ReplyDeleteI love those roses. I too collect the roses. I like to keep them close by so I can admire them. The copper ones are very pretty.
ReplyDeleteYou should share Jane - are they on your blog?
ReplyDeleteThat is a very very fine collection indeed, have you insured it?
ReplyDeleteHa! I haven't . . . maybe I should.
