  • Do you remember Little Miss Muffet? . . Wrapping my head around the idea of sitting on a “tuffet” felt like such an exotic thought to me as a kid:. . The idea of a spider dropping in ... an exotic idea that gave me just the right fright! 🕷 . However, one of my favorite collections of books, both as a little myself and then, raising my own children, was a collection of classics nursery rhymes like this one:. “Little Miss Muffet.” . . Question: Do you have a favorite nursery rhyme that you share with kids or you remember fondly?. . . My “petals” took me into stories of childhood and I think the rich imagery is a great way to send your kids imagining as we kick off the weekend.. . #willowdaygram #willowdayflowerproject . More films? Did you catch the Fir Foxes #willowdayfoxtales from #abcflowersafari ? . ... Xx, G PS: . And… possibly start thinking “spiders of Halloween. I’m no where near thinking of Halloween but, do see them popping up in the feed. . . Question number 2: When do you start Halloween preparations? But, really... I wanted to thank you for dropping in again as I’m kicking back into the school year and returning from a lovely summer. It’s always so much fun to meet you. Happy Friday.
  • If you can’t walk around the wild flowers today; I send you mine. Happy Wednesday! . #willowdaygram #willowdayflowerproject . Question, northern dwellers: Do you have a favorite late summer flower?
  • “Be free, little butterfly” And… out my door flew this little, simple happy butterfly series. Always new... 🦋 .. Feel free, friends.. . . Materials: gladiolus, spruce. . . .#willowdayflowerproject #birthdaystationary Love working on special events & personalize pieces (like this is a series) ...
  • From a corner of my home, wishes for a beautiful and creative week! . Not only do I love the summer childhood quote about “a successful summer being one filled with long days & sand between toes”; .... . I love filling the corners of our everyday world with ... paint, petals ... and pie (right now, plum pie! We have kaboodles in our garden) . What about you? What’s making your everyday happy? .I’d love to hear from you. . I’m so very happy to meet you and hope your week is off to a great start. I’ve hit the ground running after my dreamy little Parisian days. . Monday wishes! .. . #willowdayflowerproject #willowdaygram . . . .. . . . #alliseeispretty #artmatters #flashesofdelight #artistsoninstagram
  • For my part I know nothing with any certainty, but the sight of the stars makes me dream . —- Van Gogh . . Inspired by my trip to Paris in so many ways. I had to warm up yesterday with something French. The street art in Paris was like a treasure hunt and maybe why the image had to be the sky.. . Also: slide right to see a little process and an interactive Van Gogh exhibit.. Materials: wild seasonal Swedish flowers, twigs and leaves plus: sprigs of my homegrown dahlia. . . #willowdayflowerproject #vangogh #starrynight
  • Home. . Friday night. . There is nothing like travel; . but, then again there is nothing like home. I love both so so much. Do you feel the same? . . I’m feeling incredibly warm and cozy tonight with this light streaming into my kitchen, a hugely productive day* —- daydreaming of Paris & friendship —- and filling my house with scents from the kitchen. Wishing you a beautiful start. . PS: I often get asked to see more process. I’m going to try and share just a little warm up today in stories. . Check them out and I’ll share that one this weekend. I found such a variety of colors this morning that I was inspired for unplanned petal play. Any guesses about what my IG piece might be? Share with me in comments. I’d love to hear. . . PSS: Do you have a favorite muffin? - Banana Crunch Muffins from @inagarten ‘s are irresistible! . . #willowdaygram . . . . #alliseeispretty #svenskttenn
  • Paris, city of lights, you delight. . Off to @maisonetobjet today . . . MATERIALS: peony leaf, grass, hydrangea. Gauche.. . #willowdayflowerproject #paris
  • “Le week-end” . Morning light. Paints and petals are all packed up. A fantastic Friday night ...Hello Saturday. I wish you a wonderful weekend. .. . . . . . . . . . I’m pinching myself as I’m off for unusual extended weekend adventures as my hubby “holds down the fort” for all the usual events at home. (If you have small kids, “hold tight” you won’t believe how easy & vibrant life will be in the future as the kids are more independent...) . . I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, “I’m hopelessly addicted to my crew...” and already look forward to meeting them again soon to compare our tales but know it’s great for each of us. I can hardly wait! Wishes! . . . . . . . #willowdayflowerproject #willowdaygram . #ginavide
