Your roses are beautiful. And I share the same granny-ish taste. I figure the people who don't like it are simply gauche, darling!
I don't have any yellow roses to display on my blog so I updated my playlist last night to include "Mama liked the Roses" by Elvis. I couldn't come up with anything else. HA!
Love,
Julie
Oh, Sophie~ not 'grannyish'!
Here in America, I think your style would be considered "girly", not "granny"! At least, that's how I think of it~ very, very feminine and light. Cheering and comforting to the feminine spirit!
To answer your question, a driveway apron (and I didn't know about this, either, till the construction workers gave us the letter telling us) is the little section of the driveway that is also the public walkway. It kind of 'leads' you into your driveway, and ours are kind of shaped like an apron!
Those pictures are just too lovely for words...I love the dresses and the shoes and the flowers...I'll bet you win!
Great photos Sophie!!
I'd love to see the rest of the entries~~I'll click on the link and maybe I'll find them?

Hi Sophie,
What a delicious, glorious, flowery post!!!! Just love it all. By the way, I did the fairy gift draw and you are the winner. If you could email me with you favourite colour I will make a fairy just for you.
Have a rosey week-end.

Those dresses are just beautiful! I love the yellow rose theme and the soft colors you matched them with. And the shoes are lovely! Great pictures!
If your style is granny-ish, then I am in the retirement home with you! I love yellow orses - they amongst other things, symbolise friendship, an appropriate thing for blogging eh?
Have a good weekend x
I love your yellow rose post. I did enlarge the photo and the shoes are precious. You're granny-ish style looks good to me.
Thanks for stopping by to visit me. You're welcome back anytime.
Rhonda
Those pictures are breathtaking!
Oh Pretty Pretty! I think the gowns are beautiful, and I just Love The shoes!
Love Erin~
Oooo I should've known that you'd come up with something this gorgeous!! I love it! I'm with you about the shoes - so many darling old shoes but none to wear. I even have a pair that are pink needlepoint with roses on top! Your post is absolutely gorgeous. Blessings... Polly (p.s. LOVE granny-ish. She's the coolest lady I know!)
I really love your blog! I have to work my way back, as I just found your though Little Red House, but I'm looking forward to it.
Heather
A lovely bit of eye candy for the weekend - thank you! Those shoes are amazing. No yellow roses around here today, so can't join in - boohoo! Have a lovely weekend
Kimx
And here I thought you had laid your best things out in preparation for a party or tea!
All very lovely!
:)
All very girly, romantic, soft and feminine. True eye candy. I loved reading your blog and hope to visit more often. :))
Wow, I literally caught my breath when I saw your photos! Not granny-ish at all, just beautiful! And I would love to have an excuse to wear shoes like that!
Thanks for sending so many new readers my way! It still feels rather unreal to me that people from across the ocean are reading about my house and my quirks (for that read "dish obsession")
I'm looking forward to seeing al the yeallow roses!
xoxo,
Mary
Wow Sophie,
You have a lot of roses. I don't have yellow roses, but I do like them. They are my daughter's favorite flower.
Have fun!!
I will check out that blog, thanks.
Have a wonderful weekend,
Rosemary

Love your photos Sophie.
Those shoes are 'to die for'. They wouldn't fit my big feet either.
Those dresses are sooo... pretty.
Alison
Sophie, I had to enlarge every single photo because I did not want to miss a single detail. The gowns are just gorgeous. I noticed the pretty beaded hanger, too. All just beautiful~nicely done!!!
I do believe those shoes may fit me as I have small feet!! If you ever want to part with them!! Love the theme Mary
Oh my goodness yellow roses are just my absolute favourite thing and yet I've just realised I'm sure I don't have anything that even resembles a yellow rose in my home!! Crazy!!
Loving your photos!
love Alison x
Sophie - I love your shoes - and oh to be young and slim to wear those dresses and be a princess for a day.............. I have put the agents photos on of my house it looks so bare - post pack and tidy up for the look the tele says we should show. I am going to do corners of my home when I have got used to the camera
Catherine
Sophie, Oh, how sweet...I like your photos, even if I couldn't live with that look all the time. Looks like a sweet Victorian parlor. I have no yellow roses either.
Rhoda
What a lovely post! The pictures are beautiful. I always enjoy your blog.
oooh! pretty!! The dresses,shoes and flowers are gorgeous!!!
I'm digging it all!
Really feminine and I'm glad you shared :)
What great photos. I just love roses on anything but I don't have many yellow ones - mine are often blue. They are great in any colour though.
Cathy X
Your pink and yellow display is lovely! And I adore those shoes!!

I think if we had to have picked the winner from the amount of posts to their blog you would have won hands down!! You do know I had to finally break down and draw right? It was such a hard decision, I couldn't pick!
I still like looking at these pics:-)
Michelle
Oh fun, your roses are beautiful and romantic!
Yes, feminine! That's it! If anyone thinks it is granny style, I think grannies are the best. Go grannies!
I really love the shoes! You would make a great stylist!
I think your effort paid off handsomely - those pics are gorgeous!
So beautiful Sophie!!! You have some great, great stuff! And you did a great job arranging it all - you could definitely be a stylist for a fun magazine. So great!! And there's that perfume that I love so much - thanks again for the recommendation on that - I love it.

Oh I love your 'sugary' photos! You are very talented at composing your vignettes.
I was so happy that you visited my place. Please feel free to come again!
Best to you,
