I was inspired to right this post because every day and I am out in the beautiful countryside that surrounds our home on my bike with the dogs and at long last the beautiful sunflower fields in our area are beginning to come into bloom.

We are very lucky to be in a protected area for flora and fauna so as well as being able to enjoy the stunning spectacle of sunflower fields in the summer, in the spring we have lovely wild flowers including rambling roses that clamber through the hedgerows and stunning native orchids that grow in the verges along the little country roads.
Right now is the time for hollyhocks and these prolific blooms can be found lining stones walls and lanes in many a village and garden in the Charente Maritime.

So this week I have decided to get back to nature and share with you some of the
trucs I have in stock in my
Etsy shop that have a floral or organic theme.
Modern life can be so busy and hectic that it's very easy sometimes to forget the importance of getting out into a park or the countryside and taking time to wonder at the gifts that mother nature has to offer.
And, if it's not possible to grab some time to enjoy nature why not bring the outside in by arranging some flowers or adding some floral patterns and motifs to perk up the interior of your home?
