I love ‘In a Vase on Monday’ because it’s full of beauty, warmth and a sense of community, and, reading Cathy and Christina‘s posts this morning about their meeting (which sadly I missed as I was away) only reinforced how wonderful warm hearts and like minds are. Sadly, this was something so brutally missing a week ago in Manchester.
Consequently I’m sharing flowers which, whilst deliberately dark, I hope convey both life and beauty, things we all need to pause to appreciate in these tricky, tricky times.
Wishing you all a peaceful, beautiful Monday.
Thanks Cathy.

Dark is good with those ruffly roses. Happy IAVOM.
Beautiful flowers and sentiment Jen. Peace to you as well.
These dark colours are sumptuous and are always the ones which catch my eye first. We do need to focus on these things and be positive.
Such a touching tribute, Jen – thanks so much for creating it. Your Munstead Wood looks just as sumptuous as mine and the dark dianthus and antirrhinum are fitting accompaniments
Oh, my! Gorgeous!
A gorgeous arrangement. Flowers can convey many things for which words sometimes fall short. Peace and hope to you.
Your struck the right note with your arrangement, Jen. We all share Manchester’s sorrow.
What a beauty! Gorgeous colour and lovely ruffles. 🙂
Beautiful flowers and a lovely sentiment. We need all the beauty and warmth we can get in these dark times. x
I do agree that we need to find beauty and peace where we can and a beautiful vase of flowers is a good place to start.
