Vote for your favourite

Wanted to show you how much you can do by changing the pot. The arrangement is made in the little metall pot (top image) that I've moved around. Material dried roses and oh god, I still don't know what fläder is in English (can somebody help me out, pleeeease). Well, the raw berries of fläder : ) and wet oasis on the bottom.

(Thank you M/Whita Villan, the word I was looking for is Elderflower)

Vote for your favourite and you can win a print of the image below in handmade frame (picture will be shown shortly).

The winner will be announced on Wednesday 27th of August at noon.

Best of luck and a big hug!

Greenroom under construction

Dearest Friends! It's good to back in bloggland! I've had the most wonderful vacation together with friends and family. It was soooo good to spend time with my dear sister (who lives in Australia - haven't seen her for two years), her husband and Elmer's little cousin who was born in December. And our parents of course. And good old friends in Finland. It's been cosy yet bit lively : ))) Being back to normal routines isn't bad at all..

I've been dreaming of a new green house for a long time now and as you can see the project has started. My superhandy and supernice brother in law took down the old one and after a couple of days he had built a new frame and put in old windows that I've been saving (my dear husband wanted to throw them away...) for this purpose. The glas is old and you can see the texture in one of the close ups.

Lots of workhours remains before the green house is ready - and I'm looking forward to every minute of it!

As I said, it's good to be back, I've missed you!

Love, Minna : )

Blomsterverkstad goes to vacation

I'll be away for a couple of weeks! Take care and enjoy summer! In the picture you can see my summer wreath made with flowers from my garden.

A big hug,
Minna :)

Rosy dreams from my garden

Another rose arrangement por favor! This time I used roses from garden, one of them is 'New dawn', fläder/hylleblomst/seljas flower, some weeds I found and small apples. As you can see I've used green wet oasis to build the arrangement on.

Have a really good week out there! And remember to sit down and enjoy summer!

One of my favorites - again!

Hello girlies! Time to pick those fallen apples (here in southerns Sweden anyway) and make these super cute and easy wreaths. Get a piece of thick steel wire (apprx 2-3 mm diam), bend it to a circle, lock one of the ends by turning it to opposite way, press the wire through the small apples and lock the end to the little circle you made earlier.

Hugs,
Minna : )

Rosentårta

Min favorit blomsterbutik i Lund, Bloom, stänge för semestern och sålde alla blommor för 15kr/bunten. Hamstern (jag) var där. Sedan dekorerade hamstertanten en tårta med rosor, kirskålsblommor, buxbum och kokossnöre. Den blev väldigt bröllopslig. Botten bakades av blötad oasis. Serverades på en silverfat och under en glaskupa till vänner i Danmark. På en helt vanlig lördag.

Glada sommardagar till er önskar Minna :)

More is more

Att less skulle vara more stämmer inte alltid. Massor av dessa små pyttispenseer behövdes för att de skulle synas. De plockades längst vägkanten (en korgfull t o m med rötterna) där de var knappt synliga. De som planterades i korgen överlevde tyvärr bara ett par veckor... och kransen den vissnade efter ett par dagar den också. Men minnena lever kvar : )))

Hoppas ni haft en skön midsommar!
Kram på er!
Minna : )
