Flowers!







Thank you all so much for your many messages and support over these last weeks

I would like to show you
some of the lovely flowers I have received

I'm not sure about the mouse in this one....
I thought my daughter's cat was supposed to be seeing to these!

I love the robin though!




             The lovely arrangement above was
                       from somebody special






I was so touched by these ...they were from some Church leaders in Torquay!





These lovely flowers were sent to me by our local florist Tussie Mussie
I was just so blown away that they should do this!!
They signed the card
'Love from your Tussie Hussies'
I just laughed and laughed!






I just loved the scent of the lavender and.....
those lovely little blackberries!!







Kindly made this washbag ( with long straps to go over my shoulder when I was on crutches)
and
the makeup bag to match





The waterproof blue lining looks good too!
I had so many people compliment me on them!!





Also, I'd like ideas.
This is my new coat.  It's a totally different colour from the ones I usually wear






  I thought I'd try and crochet a scarf.
These are the only wools I have at home






This last picture is probably the best
for the colour of the coat
So.....any suggestions re wools, colours and patterns please??!



Welcome to my new followers...I look forward to getting to know you!

I'm joining Jann, today, for Share Your Cup Thursday

    Those flowers are beautiful and certainly would cheer any recipient! How lovely. I like the color of the coat and would choose a darkish cream color to go with it - but that's just my opinion.

    Looks like a beautiful new coat, shades of the blues or cream colors would look very nice with it. I liked the robin too!

    The flower arrangements are all beautiful and so is your new coat. I think a burnt orange or cranberry scarf would look very nice with it.

    What caring friends you have :D

    I wonder, would the blue in the last picture and the green combine to make a scarf worthy of the coat? Hard to tell from photographs.

    I do hope you're feeling very much better x

    Thanks for sharing your lovely flowers and gifts with us Joan. They cheered and encouraged me as well! I have enjoyed visiting some of your last posts and getting to know you a bit better. You do live in a beautiful spot. I have been blessed to live in some awe inspiring locations across the USA. My favorite was Crescent City, CA, where my husband and I lived two blocks from the ocean. One of your posts reminded me of a post I wrote that mentioned how the early settlers swam their flock of sheep out to Castle Rock to graze in the summertime. May you continue to be blessed with healing, xx from Gracie

    Such beautiful flowers. You are obviously very special to very many people! :)

    I liked the turquoise-y yarns in the second-to-last coat photo - they really popped against that rich nutmeggy brown. But almost any colour would work well.

    Are you thinking of a very long scarf? Wide or skinny? Or possibly a cowl?

    Joan, what did you do sweetie that you are on crutches? Sure hope you have a speedy recovery. I love your beautiful flowers. I'm sure that you are a special person to many. I have a mini boot like yours in my gnome garden. I don't think mine has a mouse. Guess the cat did it's job. lol! I love the aqua yarn with your brown coat. Thanks for finding time to share at SYC!
    Hugs,
