Hot Summer Days

The weather could not be any more Summery,some people seem to love it,others ( like us) are almost melting. For those who enjoy relaxing outside this very practical wrought iron lounge is on wheels for easy manoeuvering around the garden chasing the shade(or sun!) The other wrought iron piece is a very decorative bench with added detail at the top,perfect against a wall or tucked into a garden corner.

The last Day of 2009

The very last day of 2009 has crept up on us,we hope it has been a memorable one for you all and that 2010 will be even more so. Wishing everyone a very happy New Year from us !

Very cute felt emroidered hearts and birds.

Calenders

We still have lots of calenders available, there are some really gorgeous designs this year.

Post Christmas Cheer

Even though Christmas has now passed, the Christmas cheer is still everywhere with visitors and friends still happily meandering around in a relaxed mood. These are some of the lovely items to encourage relaxed living, that are on our front verandah right now.

Open Sunday

Just a note to let you know we will be open Sunday 27th December from 10am to 5pm, but closed Monday 28th.We will re-open again as usual on Tuesday 29th at 10am. We will also be open on New Years Day,( as always) Friday 1st January 2010. Hope you are all having a relaxing festive season.

Merry Christmas

We would like to wish everybody a truly merry Christmas,and thankyou all sincerely for visiting and supporting us throughout the year. We have seen some changes happen at Rose Harvest this year,and there are more planned for 2010. May the coming year be a great one for you all, Sue,Linda and Jodie.

More new arrivals

Even though Xmas is nearly here, new stock continues to arrive just in time for the last minute shoppers. Shades of green have made a re-appearance as a popular colour again and most of our new items will suit people who have always liked green or those who have a new appreciation for it.The metal chairs have been made and painted in a very typical 1930's style and shade of green ,and look like originals from the era, but amazingly the finish has been created by clever craftspeople only recently.

Xmas Goodies

We are having some internet difficulties ,hence the lack of posts over the last few days. This very large tray would be perfect for using on Xmas day, and then a great display piece afterwards.It has a very rustic charm about it, but still very suitable for any decor.

New Arrivals

This gorgeous collage has been made from an old piece of sheet music, a Victorian postcard and pressed flowers arranged in an antique frame. A beautiful way to preserve a little bit of history. The Mother Of Pearl butterflies are brooches and hairclips,very cleverly created and stunning to wear. Also pictured is another of the inlaid bone chest of drawers, this time in black. The circular frame is also made from Mother of Pearl,very unusual.

China Rose

There aren't many roses out in the garden just now, but there are many to be seen on the cups, the jugs, the plates.........to name a few.

"Dove Tales"

This is a stunning new piece of Garden art,the doves appear to be having a meaningful conversation,with eavesdroppers floating nearby.

A Handle or Two

We now have lots of handles,drawer pulls and knobs , one to suit any cupboard! There are various finishes available, from shiney brass to dull pewter for a more aged effect.

Sealing Wax and other interesting things

It was a great excuse to stay in under the cooler today ,newly arrived stock that took the whole day to unpack and display. Our very long awaited new supplies of sealing wax and letter seals are now here,along with some different designs in bottled ink,stamps pads ( gold and silver ink ) and four new colours in the sealing wax.There are also some gorgeous boxed sets of ink and quills we haven't stocked before now.

Iced green

I love the colour of this 1940's very useful cupboard.There is lovely oak timber underneath the paint, but I think whoever painted this piece had good taste !

More Little Birdies

It does seem everywhere you look lately decorating themes for everything include a bird somewhere.More designers and manufacturers are catching on as to how popular this theme is and I am sure there are more to come.If you click on the photos to the left you will be able to see in more detail the tiny little birds woven into the topiary frames.
