Autumn brings with it cool breezes, crisp mornings and smashing sunsets, and this year, it has also bought me a precious crop of Zinnias.

I swear on my soul I haven’t pumped up the saturation on these shots, they truly are brightly coloured shades of Autumn. Promise.

Speaking of Zinnias, I recently became the lucky owner of a super sophisticated Zinnia Pea teapot… ain’t she sweet?! I won her on Blue Caravan (and, no, not because I wrote a story about BC, it was totes random selection). Words can’t describe how much I love this teapot, well, maybe the words from Pride & Prejudice ON the teapot do help. Visit Zinnia Pea’s shop on Blue Caravan where you’ll find plenty more verses to choose from.

This Zinniafied story is dedicated to my fabulous big sis on her birthday, hardly compares to her being in Vegas, but still, it’s the least a little sis can do.

Weekend! Thank goodness.
