As I looked out of my Mum's window on to an almost bare garden the other day I was delighted to see that her hydrangea bush had these wonderful blooms still bringing a touch of loveliness to the world.
Of course I had to have some, so I asked & she granted my wish & off I went to snip some pretty blooms to take home & place in a simple jug.

Aren't the wonderful blush colours of the blooms delicious, so delicate & so terribly vintage dreamy.
♥
I can't believe that I picked these on Tuesday afternoon & I had to leave one bloom behind as it had a little ladybird sleeping underneath the petals & then on Wednesday night it snowed & snowed & snowed & we awoke to a thick blanket of snow on Thursday morning!
Throughout Thursday morning it continued to snow heavy too, big fat snowflakes falling, falling.
It seems that one minute these delicate beauties were enjoying the last hurrah of Autumn & then all of a sudden the Snow Queen cast her wand & a winter wonderland appeared!
♥
I am so terribly glad I managed to cut some blooms before this winter weather started as I'm not sure they will last much longer now ... oh but imagine their delicate colouring peeking out under sparkling white snow ~ now that would be vintage dreamy ...

Those are lovely and will stay looking just as good as they dry, so you can appreciate your rescued flowers for months to come.
