Flowers are food for the soul

We have the most wonderful summer here still, and some flowers, like the white midsummer-roses, are already blooming. But oh, I'm not complaining, the scent from roses and lilacs is divine. I really think flowers are food for the soul, and have used my days creating some too...
Here are my latest flora-bags, there is a blue...

...one I could call ochre...


...and one pretty green:


All the pretty flowers above can be found in my shop. I wish your days have been as flower-filled and sunny as mine, and your June has started beautifully. We had a first good summer-storm last night, and after it I saw this rare yet amazing double rainbow, and with it I wish you...


... a lovely new week!

Yours,
Mia

Sweet Mia, I hope you made a wish for yourself too! All your flowers both real and woolly are amazing. The bags are just lovely and would make such a fashion statement to any occasion or outfit. ( many hours of work went into them)
That double rainbow what a beautiful sight and magical! I always feel so special when I see one.
Take care my friend, xoRobin

Wow Mia, that's amazing double rainbow! Your flower bags are full of summer and so beautiful! I love to see your photos from Finland! Those sweet roses reminded me that it's almost Juhannus! How that happened? Imagine that I haven't seen the most beautiful Finnish summer for 19 years.
I wish you lovely week and remember to eat blueberry pie for me! x Teje

This time of the year...

Usually around this time, when children go back to school, and you can just about to smell the autumn, I start to dig deeper in my fabric...
