~a spoonful of loveliness~
I love Friday Finds with Kim Klassen ... "it is a place to gather and share ... a place to cherish life's simple pleasures" ... doesn't that sound like such an inviting place?
My find this week is actually a refind ... a rediscovery ... a "oh, that is where you have been hiding" kinda find.
My microfleur ... a wonderful flower press.
It has been years since i bought it ... i loved it back then ... but then it got tucked away and never found its way out until this week. As i was looking for props around my house that i could use for Kim's Be Still class ... there it was waaaay back in the corner of my craft closet.
As luck would have it ...my pansies i bought in April are now all starting to fade ... i have been busy replacing them with my summertime favorites. But i just hated to hank them all out and throw them away ... they are THE perfect flower to dry.
So i got busy and in just an hour i had dozens of these beauties all preserved ... just waiting to be photographed.
So as i finished up pressing my flowers, i put my microfeur away ... this time front and center in my craft closet ... making sure it is not years till i use it again!

until next time ...

ReplyDeleteoh my...how sweet is that pansy...and that spoon...perfect combo!
ReplyDeleteAhhh! You have put one of your beautiful spoons to good use! I love this creative use and the photos are splendid. Nicely done!
ReplyDeleteThey look even more delicate when dried!
ReplyDeleteA beautiful find and put to good use!
ReplyDeleteA perfect find for a fading pansy. Beautiful images!
ReplyDeleteI Googled Micofeur and now have one on my wish list at Amazon. Such a wonderful find.
ReplyDeleteThere is something so elegant about flowers with full petals and a rounded shape, plus I love the bee guide stripes radiating out from the center on the pansies. It looks wonderful in the elegant spoon, I will have to consider trying to dry some flowers. My aunt used to make lovely cards with dried flowers beneath plastic.
ReplyDeleteThey look lovely pressed. I think Mallory has a flower press hiding downstairs in the storage room, maybe I should be looking for that :)
ReplyDeleteI love what you did with a pressed flower! Pressed doesn't necessarily mean flat/2d. Hmmm...I have a microfleur too.
