There is a magic formula in almost all these beautiful container gardens and flower pot designs: Thriller + Filler + Spiller. Even green herbs can look beautiful in a container garden. Mix different plants with different shades of greens such as deep green rosemary, silver green sage, teal green thyme, and bright green basil and parsley! I can’t decide which one to start with. But love the mix of herbs and flowers. I’ve not tried this before. Will plant some now. I loved the concept of this book, a personal analysis of romantic attachment and its dearth for the author, a modern trope of the singleton life but which has a far longer history. It is intricately examined under her personal microscope.The “right” way to engage with romance is an idea we all carry around with us, shifting it into different shapes as new information comes to us through music, celebrity couples, films, social media, and the people we interact with from day to day. Our guardians are the first to model love for us, and our relationships with them tend to influence how we relate to others throughout our lives. Key describes how her life as one of five children in a house full of second-hand furniture to parents who did not appear to love one another planted seeds of want in her. Other relationships she witnessed, including that of her maternal grandparents, were antithetical to her parents’ in that each person had a role they seemed to relish and lived harmoniously with their partner. For the author, healthy love is, and is born of, safety. Her grandparents in particular demonstrated this. Although Key took care to create a warm home environment for herself that many friends and family members have enjoyed, what she calls her “if you build it, they will come” approach has yet to attract the right romantic partner. The unspoken expectation when reading about someone—especially a woman—who has tried in various ways to summon and cultivate romantic love in her life is that it will eventually work. There will be an afterward where we discover that learning all of these lessons lead the writer to her goal. But this is decidedly not the point of Arrangements in Blue. Dusty Blue Burgundy Bouquet / Gold Vibrant Dry flowers bouquet / Lavender babies Dried + Preserved bouquet The countless hours of manipulating flowers has taught (Sim) how to blend the scents of various blooms to create a powerful refreshing scent for anyone nearby. Such mastery calls for a Gold Flower arranging Talent Badge! One of the most universally loved garden features is the container garden. Who does not love a planter overflowing with colorful flowers, happiness and exuberance?

At first I enjoyed her writing, reflections and unflinching analysis. However it is analysis that I found to be the problem for me. It felt like an endless, repetitive stream of consciousness, as if in the psychiatrist's chair. I think an essay format would have contained the insights more succinctly. Paralleling her life with Joni Mitchell's "Blue" felt an unnecessarily contrived peg for her waves of vulnerability to hang upon.

Profound and poetic, vulnerable yet brave, I devoured Amy Key’s memoir about love, loss, memory and hope. An incredible writer, a stunning debut." Lisa McGee Plant list 18: Mixed color Snapdragon, Salvia argentea, pink Petunia, Sedum ( Source: DecoFeelings ) 19. Farmhouse patio garden ideas But something has shifted. In She I Dare Not Name, Donna Ward recounts her battle with solitude after six decades of spinsterhood; Aimée Lutkin’s The Lonely Hunter confronts the lonesomeness of singledom in the digital age. Key asks herself what is wrong with her so often it feels as mundane as asking what’s for tea; she also senses “I’m not the only one feeling this way”. That’s no wonder: the number of women who reach the age of 40 without ever having married is rising year on year.

Using Joni Mitchell's seminal album Blue - which shaped Key's expectations of love - as an anchor, Arrangements in Blue elegantly honours a life lived completely by, and for, oneself. Building a home, travelling alone, choosing whether to be a mother, recognising her own milestones, learning the limits of self-care and the expansive potential of self-friendship, Key uncovers the many forms of connection and care that often go unnoticed.

Arrangements in Blue] asks how to build a good life when you don’t have what you want—and how to do so without denying what it is that you want, or the possibility that what you want may come along." New Republic - Hannah Rosefield A beautiful, painful, liberating book. Amy Key writes with such tenderness and insight about a life without romantic love at its centre, exacting as to its impoverishments, exultant over its many and unexpected riches." Olivia Laing Straddling positivity and cynicism, pride and despair, Key's artful inquiry asks us to question our focus on romantic love and consider all that remains outside of it and all that could flourish there, if we let it."
