A Friday Flower

It's Friday... at last!!! I end the week a little frazzled... my little girl's illness is spreading amongst the rest of the troops... A sick house equals a fraught mother...I'm sat here with a glass of wine in hand, in a vain attempt to take the edge off things...


I picked up my Friday Flower today, in an attempt to spread a little cheer over an otherwise grim day...


I did smile when I saw the delicateness of the petals, touched with pink... and, even though it's another carnation... I just couldn't resist... It also came with the added bonus of filling two jars... can this bloom do no wrong?


I dedicate this Friday Flower to my mother-in-law... yep... you read that right... she bucks all the stereotypical mother-in-law characteristics... she's kind, considerate, never judging, always listening, and most of all, always there for me... Thanks, Shell, for being you!


I'm linking up with the lovely Melissa, who always manages to wow me with her fantastic photos and wise words... pop over to see her to be wowed too...
Wishing you all an amazing weekend and I'll hopefully be back on track next week.

  4. oh honey.....even when you've had a big couple of days you still make me smile with your writing!

    how lucky are you and your mum-in-law to have each other...
    i hope my kids partners feel like you in years to come!

    hope your glass of wine helped and that the little munchkin is feeling better....alas the rest of the troops!

    how do some mothers manage to isolate sickness from spreading???
    beyond me!!

    hope your weekend brings you a little autumn sunshine to sit behind a glass window in....a warm spot and a pot of tea....

  5. Hi Laura!
    Hope the weekend will give some rest and sunshine, always nice when one is feeling under the weather. I think we have the same mother in law, but I'm pretty sure mine lives in Amsterdam! I will not linking up today for FF, but next week I will! Take care,

  8. The flowers look etched in ink. So pretty. No, you can't go wrong with those blooms. Or any blooms, for that matter!
