 Crocuses are one of my favorite flowers simply because they remind me of Spring and adventure. They're never picked during the Summer, but I can't seem to wrap my head around them being grown in the Winter and Autumn too because of our wild New England weather. I'm sure it makes sense to the lucky people living in Europe, Asia, and on tropical islands who get to expeerience their natural beauty. They come in several colors ready to please anyone and everyone. So, I decided to bring a little comfort and hope for all of you stuck in a place without crocuses, just like me. Here are some lovely purple and yellow ones that make me smile everytime I see them! (: Posted by Olena at 4/07/2011 3 comments: Links to this post Labels: beads, flowers, seed beads


Dreaming of Summer Summer is a great time for bonfires, late night swims, amusement parks, time with family, and so much more, but no one can experience the joys of Summer without the warmth of Spring! Unfortunately, it feels like Spring will never come with this constant snow and wind. Summer opens up many opportunities for us, such as a new summer love or a simple, excting adventure. I absolutely adore putting up sunny pictures and adding flowers to every room because it reminds me of Summer and its charm. A favorite poem of mine is Barefoot Days by Rachel Field and it goes like this:

In the morning, very early,
That’s the time I love to go
Barefoot where the fern grows curly
And the grass is cool between each toe,
On a summer morning – O!
On a summer morning!
That is when the birds go by
Up the sunny slopes of air,
And each rose has a butterfly
Or a golden bee to wear;
And I am glad in every toe –
Such a summer morning – O!
Such a summer morning!
I created these flowers to spread the happiness of the upcoming seasons and to remind you all that it'll be here soon enough! It's guaranteed to lighten up any room (: Posted by Olena at 4/03/2011 1 comment: Links to this post Labels: flowers, home decor, Mother's Day
