Hels/ Saveapenny - those invites are gorgeous!!! I love how you've done the h,j and d, and I love the red!

Kim_Possible - I store my flowers in two plastic craft organiser boxes. I've had them for years and I used to store my cross stitch threads in them, they are separated inside into little sections.

Kim, I keep a lot of mine in clear coffee jars especially Douw Egberts ones but anything clear. For smaller flowers I use the little jars from Ikea and also their spice jars for brads. For the big 4" flowers I bought the kilner jars from the Dunelm store in York. (sigh! I wished lived in York)

anyone know any good craft shops in london? sat in hotel room and have paid for wifi to keep in touch!

Marg

CGC - sorry no idea about London shops, craft or otherwise, it's years since I went there

Polly - your card looks fine to me

Hels - your invites are fantastic - love that shade of red

Rainmac - hope all goes well tomorrow - wish I was nearer so I could come & buy.

Melissa - the paper lace prices look better than the QVC ones - good find!

Saveapenny - Well done with Hels invites & all the best for kicking the habit - think of all the extra money to spend on crafting or lovely grandson - how's he doing?

JHB - thanks for extra info

Kim - I haven't got that many flowers that it matters but need to buy some but am overwhelmed by the choice.

Does anyone have any recommendations about which sort of flowers to get? where to get them from please?
