New projects

I finally painted the old etagere we bought in Nice 3 months ago...I've chosen a grey paint with white patina...this is my grey time! I like this colour!


















...I've a big amount of lavender...I made bouquet, wreaths and all kind of things with it, but I'd like to try something new...so I made a scented water...now I've to wait a month before using it, but I'm looking forward to spray it on my laundry...I'd like to smell the Summer scent all the year!



















...finally I printed some adhesive labels for the bottle...the photo isn't clear enough, but I'm satisfied of the result!

Oooooh I love how you decorated your crown with Lavender!! It is gorgeous!! I just came in from the garden, I have watered all the flowers and the plants. And I stopped and smelled the Lavender, they such fantastic scent, like I am hypnotized! And I love the colour as well, like the grey you selected for your new find. Yes, grey can be beautiful. With a drop of red in it, it get warm!


Thank you friend for the words you left behind, you are so very kind!

Hugs, Aina

Min Verden ha detto...

Hello Vale. I can be that the rose need water. You have to water well each time you water the roses. It can be a desice (how do you spell that - I mean it can be ill). Try to go to the library and borrow a book of roses. It may need som good soil aswell. Roses like soil from cows - do you know it? We call it cowcompost. See if there are lies on it as well, wash with soap and water. It works. I wish you good luck :) Have a nice weekend. Hanne

Min Verden ha detto...

Look at my page now. I published a new one just now, with a pic. of one of my roses that need better soil and more water. I have yellow leafs. You can click on the pic. to get a better look. If it is the same - try to buy some rosefood at the gardenshop. They will know what you need. Forgot to ask you if you had a great birthday? Hope you had :)

Sherol Vinhas ha detto...

Que requinte!Que maravilha!
Parabéns

Madeleine Berglund ha detto...

Hi Vale! It seems like you had a nice birthday. And who cares about the age? Not me. ;) No, the rose is not mine, but it´s beutiful dough. Iam going out to the sun now, the Swedish summer is so beutiful and I love it. Have a nice day! Hugs Madeleine

Gaia ha detto...

Ciao è sempre bellissimo venire a "trovarti" in questo paradiso. Proverò a fare i biscotti ma devo comprare la lavanda o aspettare di tornare a viareggio per strappare qualche rametto dalle piante di mia mamma.
come hai fatto a fare l'acqua ala lavanda? alcool puro e ?

Se decidessi mai di andare al mare fammelo sapere che magari ci potremmo incrociare!
a presto
Gaia

Gaia ha detto...

Grazie Vale,

ci proverò e ti saprò dire. nel frattempo aspetto di sapere come è venuto a te!
buon weekend anche a te!
