My London Trip

The Chelsea Flower Show - Sculptures







The trees are metal.

My London Trip

The Chelsea Flower Show - HATS!!!!
It was certainly a hat day - Kathy and I started our day off visiting the hat exhibit at the Victoria and Albert Museum and then on to The Chelsea Flower Show where all these hats are made with flowers!!! Truly AMAZING!!!
















OK, there's a little tulle on this one and yes, that's a man wearing it!

The Chelsea Flower Show Part 3

I liked this display - words are written all over wood pillars.




Strawberries - yummy!!!


My London Trip

The Chelsea Flower Show Part 2



There were lots of fruits / veggies mixed in with flowers.

I can see this using an old bed spring.




Simple, yet elegant!






The colors were brilliant!

My London Trip

The Chelsea Flower Show was AMAZING!!! (or should I say, STUNNING?)





There were vignettes with buildings and tons or flowers and shrubbery.






This guy was HUGE! He's made out of wire.


I LOVE leaves and this was huge and amazing!





Thought I'd take some picts of the rocks since I had a rock stacking project on here before I left.






Thanks Kathy for a wonderful birthday present!!!

My Trip to London

Day 4 - Who Knows!!!
I thought I could do this by days, but each wonderful day melted into another. So, here are some odds and ends photos from my trip.


Here's how fish and chips are served. I'm used to a basket with a tissue liner and several separate pieces of fish.


I'm planning a trip to the Museum of Glass in Washington this summer, so I was surprised to see this amazing Chihuly piece hanging in the Victoria and Albert Museum in London - stunning - in fact, that was my word for my trip - STUNNING!!!


I took some photos around the Henderson's home - eggs from the White House Easter Egg Roll - wow! I'm impressed.


Kathy loves roosters and anything patriotic - here's a patriotic origami bird.


Selfridges is celebrating it's 100th year and I just had to take a picture of the rubber duckies gracing one of their windows.
