A Victorian Flower Album Book

Just the other day I went to my regular book store to purchase a book on plant and flower. This particular bookshop sells new and old books; the old books were mostly imported from the UK. I wasn't sure whether I would find anything that is worth buying when this old worn book caught my eyes. A Victorian Flower Album and as I turned the pages my enthusiasm grew with each page, it is just what I wanted to be able to see and read and paint if I needed to by referring to it. It was actually a flower album compiled by Mr. Henry Terry in 1873 for his children, Emily, Annie and Harry. A publisher chanced upon it and published it into a book.

Purple Roses

I had this bouquet of flower that I had arranged a few months ago and I thought it needed some spicing up. I went down to my favourite store and though I feel that what they sell is kind of expensive, I did buy three sprays of purple roses. As I added it to my bouquet, I was kind of surprised it blended in quite nicely. I kind of grow fond of it again. I am glad I went to the shop and bought the purple roses.

Addictive Decoupage

I have been preoccupied with my new found craft recently, decoupage, once started it is very addictive and I found myself doing it almost every time that I am free. I have also learnt how to paint wood and sand it. I feel euphoric to be able to do it as it can really relax one's mind and be disciplined. I guess I will continue doing it as I really like the way it turns out, pretty and vintages.
