Late Autumn Walk

It's nearly Spring and here I am posting some images from a late Autumn walk in the rose gardens with an adventurous two year old, in vintage thrifted coat, stripey tights and favourite red shoes, first baby plaits, and exquisite pearl jewellery from Little Pearls, all on a gorgeous (though cold) late afternoon. xo


You can't see a lot of the little pearls here but Little Pearls was also the inspiration and reason for our beautiful little garden walk/adventure that late May day. :)

This gazebo in the rose gardens was soon called the 'little house'. Fun to run back and forth to, after rose and garden explorations...


Nearly Winter and there were still many roses in bloom.

And then the little one slowed down, at last, to explore walking big brother's scooter here there and everywhere.

This is what I wrote then: Her brother's scooter. She adores it, walks it everywhere and wishes she could balance it properly and ride it without needing someone to help her balance. I'm sure she will some day...


... and now of course she is a pro!
