preserving flowers
When we take a stroll through a garden, or hike up to a field of wildflowers, the delicate beauty and vibrant or pastel colors always catch our eyes. Not to mention how the subtle fragrances just calm us and melt our hearts. We love filling our homes with flowers, whether it's just for us, or when we have guests over. It brightens the room. But we can't keep that beauty forever with fresh flowers. I started pressing flowers in books when I was young, and would hang flowers from my parents' garden to dry all over my room. With time, all dried flowers fade in color. But dried flowers capture the most beautiful and delicate vintage hues, and become even more beautiful with time. Do you fill your home with dried flowers?
