However, today I have received a truly beautiful gift from my sister in law Joy, (who makes some of the MOST wonderful sugar craft flowers and cakes) and when she came for a visit earlier today she gave me this....
Aren't they georgeous?
A view from above.
(the flowers are proudly placed on top of my glass topped coffee table which has a display area below, which is why you can see some cat plates underneath).

I feel truly blessed to receive such a stunning gift. Thank you SO MUCH Joy.

I also saw my other sister in law Jackie today, and she gave me a load of fabulous Bramley Cooking Apples - freshly picked from her garden....

You hit the jack pot on goodies. Those flowers are amazing! Thank you for stopping by with good wishes for Hubby & I after his surgery. WOW what a ride this has been. We are both soooooooooo tired & just glad to be home & on the road to recovery (yes, a few pot holes on the road but, over all success). So sweet of you to offer support & so much fun to have a new friend from "across the pond" as you put it). Hope you have a wonderful week. Charlene
Wow! Your sister made those?? They are amazing.
Thanks for your kind visit.
I host a weekly meme called Seasonal Sundays and I'd love to have you join us.

It's hard to believe they're sugar. They look so real. What a lovely gift!
Hi Rose...thank you for following my blog! I stopped by to pay a visit and enjoyed my stay. When you first mentioned sugar flowers, I saw your gift and my first thought was, "Are they edible?" I've a sweet tooth!
Liz
Thank you all for your sweet comments.
Yes Ninny they are edible - but I really couldn't destroy all that work!
Charlene, I'm glad your dear husband is well on the road to recovery :o)
Tablescaper, thank you for your kind invitation - if I feel I have a Sunday post worthy enough I'll be sure to join in ;o)
Patrice, my photos don't show just how realistic they are!
Hugs to all.

Rose, you have the best sisters-in-law! How thoughtful and how beautiful! Oh, you asked about the penny on the railroad track...well, the train runs over them and flattens them and you still have a copper penny, but it is bigger and flat! Just a fun, silly thing that we used to love to do as children, so we carry on the tradition! Linda
Hello and welcome Terri. Just popped over to 'your place' - love Tea cup Tuesday....
Aaha, now I understand the penny on the track! Thanks for the visit, comment and info Linda :o)
Best wishes

Hi Rose - firstly, thank you so much for visiting my blog today - your comments were lovely. Secondly, what a wonderful blog you have - the flowers are indeed gorgeous, but I am PARTICULARLY interested in the rose hip and apple jelly you mentioned. I am a total novice when it comes to jam making, but I have 'inherited' a few apple trees with my new house and am v.keen for recipe inspiration - sounds delicious! xx
Hi Auntie Rose, thanks for the comments over the weekend, I had a reel good time, I think I got on OK with Auntie Sandy to:)
Anyways they sure are pretty flowers and you can eat them :0
