I recently discovered a gorgeous variety of rose that I saw and instantly fell in love with. This weekend, I'm laying in my new gated garden arch at the foot of the steps on my garden path. I'll be planting this stunning creeping rose over it.

The rose is called 'Pierre de Ronsard'. Isn't it divine?

I am excited to announce that after almost a year away - I am close to re-launching my new Wild Oak Design website!

The new site will be a collective project of all my hobbies inclding my Mythical Muse Paperie range of unique, quality hand crafted paperie items - my new Homewares range - which includes my new range of Vintage French Country inspired linens and wooden signs - all handcrafted by me - as well as my usual Wild Oak Design website and blog design services.

I have extended my Wild Oak Website Design service to now include a collection of 'Limited Edition Designs' which can be purchased from as little as USD$30.00

I will still be offering a limited number of the ever popular Custom Designed Websites during 2010 as well.

On a personal note, my taste has moved very much into a rustic, weathered, french country style and as such - I have been redecorating my home and garden over the past few months with interesting pieces I have either made or collected - or am still waiting to 'weather' up out there in the elements! I look forward to sharing some pictures with you soon.
