I bought a new print, you will love it!!!!

I discovered Artist Julie Fillo on my blog list!!!! I was following her cause I enjoyed her blog. Then I discovered her Etsy Shop! Most of you know how I love flowers, well, I had to have this charming print of 1 of her original paintings.

I love to support fellow artists and thought you might enjoy seeing her art also. I have the links listed below. And actually this goes along very nicely with Pink Saturday!!!

One powerful hour/ flowers

I went back to my photos of pages I have done for other artists tip ins and Altered book round robins. I often use flowers. These were done 2 years ago and I think they are favorites of mine. First of all, I love "the Little Flower", St. Theresa. Some how to me, she is a friendly saint.

Second, it has my blue flowers I love.

Forget-me-nots are the dearest little gift from nature! If you plant them, they reseed and keep coming back!!!!!!!!!

Nothing to do, but wait!!!!

Thanks for the floral theme!

Have a great weekend!

Saturday surprise!

Harvest is the theme for saturday surprise! Since sandy lives in Finland, I thought it appropriate that I share the bounty of the finnish strawberries and blueberries!!!!

I visited the host family for my son's American Field Service in Finland his summer before his senior year in hight school. The family was so delightful and we got to know one another. Several years after his stay he and I went back to visit the family. In my honor, Tuti made a cake from scratch!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Fresh creme and butter and berries we had picked that day on the fields!

She called it American Flag cake!

When I read sandy' s post I had to find that picture!!!!! Mind you, it took a while cause that visit was over 20 years ago!!!!!!! Tuti and matti and I are still in touch. It was the best summer ever!!!!!

Hello Mikkola family!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
