Spring!


Growing borax crystals and wildflowers inside egg shells. The boy planted the flowers by himself to ring in Spring!



"I knew when Spring was come -
Not by the murmurous hum
Of bees in the willow-trees,
or frills
of daffodils,
Or the scent of the breeze;
But because there were whips and tops
By the Jars of lollipops
In the two little village shops..."

- from "The Calendar"
by Barbara Euphan Todd.



Lighting our special braided rainbow beeswax candle for dinner.


Wishing you all a wonderful Spring! full of growth and new beginnings.

Cheers,
Simple Mama

    did when you selling them in you etsy shop? :)
    If not where did you get it, it's so beautiful.

  3. Oona - you are so sweet. I didn't make the rainbow candle. I actually picked it up from a vendor at Pikes Place Market in Seattle, but I seem to have lot his business card.
