I’ve even managed to get my granddaughter interested in the shapes, colors etc. not just the perfect flowers or leaves.
For my birthday a couple years ago==she handed me some sticks and a pinecone–because “you like nature, Grammy” thought that was so sweet of her
thanks again for you inspiration

I leave them until they start to die off – I remove the ones that are no longer blooming – and the ones that are still blooming I make new bouquets. Then I buy more flowers and mix them with the old ones. I love to see the new shapes that come through when the petals fall off. At Christmas I was given roses and I eventually let them dry out and they are really lovely – like paper. I also pressed some flowers which I had never tried before and they were so lovely – like an old fashioned art. I love your ideas and inspiration. There is beauty everywhere, even in decay.
Thank you Paivi.

Joo, kävellessä ja ihmetellessä myös asiat ja ideat lähtevät liikkeelle! Hyvää vappua!

Thank you, Jan! “Small worlds” is a wonderful concept, I like it!

Itselleni nämä pikku retket karvakamun kanssa ovat paras inspiraation lähde ja loputon aarrearkku. Välillä toinen haistelee ja sitten toinen pysähtyy ihmettelemään ja kuvamaan kännykällä jotain hienoa ja jännittävää.

Luovaa Vappua ja sykähdyttäviä luontohetkiä!

T. Katriina

I enjoy exploring and looking into what I call small worlds especially the wilderness ones.
