It's a wedding free week end this week end and I was scheduled to take some baby pictures. Unfortunately the baby concerned wasn't too well and we had to postpone. So I was able to give my undivided attention to Shaun Hirst Flowers. I needed to take more pictures so I can finish off the display in the coffee shop. Shaun had done three more arrangements in tea cups for me and they were really pretty. He also did some tulips in a sundae glass as well. Considering he didn't like the glass very much he did a great job, and the tulips looked like ice-cream. I used both my new camera and my old camera with the 60mm macro lens attached. The colour reproduction with the 5d was amazing. I was quite pleased with what I did this evening but I think I'll have another go tomorrow too. Shaun had some good news for me. All the cards I put into the shop sold and he would like me to do some more. Now I have found Moo Cards (thanks to my friend The Compulsive Worrier) I think I will give them a try. Shaun has now dressed his shop for the Spring/Summer season. The shop looks amazing with the colourful flowers and the tasteful and innovative accessories he has. Buying for the shop must be really good fun. He has such a good eye. We are so lucky to have him in the village.

Shaun regularly changes his window display and has some really great ideas for the next few months. He has offered me the most fantastic opportunity to do something with the shop. I'm really excited about it and I will write more as things develop.
