There is something about Peonies that attracts almost every woman. Maybe this is the specific messiness of the flower or maybe the huge variety of shapes and colour shades. Or could it be a reminder of a better time, a desire to return to the past in a beloved Granny’s garden in the past and… Continue reading
This project was inspired by a tree in the garden of a coastal villa on the Black sea. Despite it being the beginning of winter and there were no flowers, it was gorgeous! The leaves were so shiny and healthy, looking like they were not real. I never thought of Magnolias as attractive plants before,… Continue reading
Why a black Peony for home decoration? Because there are some flowers, which are always very elegant and give a specific chic to your home and a black Peony is a bit “unexpected”. It can be very “eye catching” – one of those details, which makes your home something special. And further very good news… Continue reading
For me, one of the most important things in our lives is… to live it. To have attention to every moment, to every – even simple – activity. Like dinner or breakfast. I know, we are all busy, looks like time is flying faster and faster and sometimes mornings (and very often the diners) are… Continue reading
I love Pelargonium flowers! Absolutely love them! Probably it is a kind of inherited addiction of the women in our family. Every one of us has always had a strong passion to grow different types and colours. In my childhood, all the terraces were full of pots with Pelargoniums, now my home’s balcony is full… Continue reading
Spring is coming in the Northern hemisphere and my balcony garden will need more attention… There are some flowers I love very much, but don’t dare to have at home – they are beautiful, but fragile. Traveling often for long periods of time makes things difficult for flower lovers. I am always giving the keys… Continue reading

Being a crafter, literally buried under piles of craft materials, I decided to change my entire work attitude. First, I realized that it is not necessary for craft materials to be expensive to be good… Continue reading

Do you want to make a marigold paper flower and to have your own long lasting small sun at home? “Their warm orange balls look like small suns”, my Grandmother said often. And yes, I always have the feeling they will warm my hands if I take them. When I first had my own home,… Continue reading
Maybe, because I was born in that part of Europe, when if you want to have a bougainvillea, you have only a flower pot with a plant, keeping always an eye on it, fighting with the late spring or early autumn cold, feeding the soil, and even then you have to accept that one day your beloved plant will die. With no explanation and with no reason. I even wrote in my other blog about the passion and sadness to have a bougainvillea

Recycling flowers? What a strange idea! You know – my blog is for paper crafts. A big part of it is how to recycle paper. But how do you feel about the idea to “recycle” real flowers? Yes, recycling sounds a bit strange, but works. See how… Every day when walking into a park or… Continue reading
