OPEN GARDEN DELIGHT

CASE FILE #47 IS READY TO SOLVE




'OPEN GARDEN DELIGHT '
 OUR beautiful friends Ros and Tony Hurren open their historic garden every year to raise money for charity 
Their home and garden is nested in the heart of Crafers a small town  in the Adelaide Hills South Australia. 



EVIDENCE 
Flourishes, Stripes, Frames
TESTIMONY 
The garden is pure delight. I love to stand still and hear the music as soft breezes rustle through the leaves and contented birds sing in the treetops. Wonderful for my soul.
The structure in the pic is at the top of a sunken bowling green. Yes a bowling green !!!!
Our beautiful friends Ros and Tony Hurren own a magnificent property nestled in the heart of Crafers. 
which features an historic garden named 'NARRINYERI' .
SUMMER brings with it in 'ABUNDANCE' in the garden. Subtle shadows and leaf size shadows cast a spell over me as I wander through this natural tapestry of dreams and garden treasures. 
In times gone by I can only imagine the wonder of delicious afternoon teas with scones, jam and cream .. 
and friendly competitive games of bowls ... 

Some of these words I journaled on the back of my layout .

The garden is open this weekend 24th and 25th November .

these pics above are taken by Ros Hurren
Just to give you some more snippetts of the stunning garden .

hope you have a play at solving this case 
warm hugz from Heather x

    What a lovely garden, Heather. I can see why you enjoy it so much. Again you've created the perfect layout. It always amazes me that you use quite a lot of embellishment on your pages and yet the photo still remains the main focus. Brilliant! xoxo Marg

    Just beautiful. Love the strip pieces and your stamping. The garden looks gorgeous. We visit open gardens in Mount Macedon VIC. So stunning and peaceful. One day it's our dream to own a property like this.
