Sometimes when people visit the Open House they turn up with a present!!
I sort of think it’s amazing that they have shown up at all, and so then to produce a gift completely takes me by surprise…
So I just thought I’d share the generosity of some lovely people I’ve met via Instagram… and who seem to know exactly what I like…
Firstly, the image above contains some beautifully smelling Sweet Peas which were brought round by Jess ( that’s @miss_jess on Instagram or @MissUnderground ) on Friday and which are still going strong, but there’s also that tin…
( I have to add at this point that Willem once before brought round a present which is now one of my treasured possessions… )
…and that photo in the background ( which is one of the very few I’ve ever been happy with! ) was taken by Chika @shewhoeats on a visit a couple of years ago…
So I had new things to add to the installation…
( …she’s actually been housed in a place no one has discovered inside the shed yet! )
Davorka also brought me one of my absolute favourite things for the blue section…
And although this last gift, ( a King Penguin on flowers from my county East Sussex, here in Brighton ) was given to me back in February by the lovely Cristina, @c_colli on Instagram, I’ve just been waiting for it to come into season!
