Dainty DiariesWelcome back to my channel! I am SO excited; in this week's video, I take you on an unforgettable journey through the RHS Chelsea Flower Show 2023. Also, join me as I explore breathtaking floral street displays for the Chelsea in Bloom competition, and get ready to be amazed by the film-themed displays. I also had the pleasure of meeting fellow YouTubers @MrCarrington and @niallgardens at Chelsea, and I had a peep of Monty Don too! And! Myself and Mr Carrington visited the Java Whiskers cat cafe, and then I finished off my London trip with a visit to the fascinating Garden Museum in Lambeth.
Carving time out of our hectic, plugged-in lives to play and create can bring stillness and satisfaction. The projects in my book are for everyone, so take a break from the world, reignite your creative spark and make your home a little bit more beautiful!
In my book, I share over fifty of my favourite projects, from upcycling, crafting, sewing, painting and gardening, many of which take unloved items and make them shine again.

#RoomMakeover #CottageStyle #homedecorI didnt know this flower farm existed! 🌼 Spring cottage vlogDainty Diaries2024-03-17 | Let me give you a Spring garden fix. This week I headed to a stunning Irish daffodil flower farm, and I did some home styling with Spring bulbs in the cottage.
