More about them here.
(fyi they are created by Dutch artist Fedor van der Valk.)
A while ago I mentioned in this post about our houseboat in Amsterdam that I’d show you my new flower wall installation. Well, here it is. It’s been established for a while now, and evolves with newly deceased blooms, ferns, and whatever catches my eye when I wander…
It’s also become a bit of a sweet memories collection from friends – the peonies are from Kylie who sent a lovely bunch when I was ill last year, the gum nut branches and ferns are from dear Tracey Deep, and in the first photo at the very top right you can see a bloom made from paper by Natalie. Although these photos were taken for a shoot many months ago, the wall hasn’t changed much since then, but the books have been moved to a less precarious ‘baby safe’ place. Here’s another corner of my new home…
There are some great flower walls being created out there, I particularly love this one from rubi-jones , found on instagram. Have you tried creating one in your home? If so I’d love to see.

…rainy winter days mean I can wear my rain boots and splash in puddles…
…my little ray of sunshine…
…an abandoned book found on the sidewalk…
…a little corner of my home…
…our shadow, between weather…
Have a bon weekend mes amis!

Mary Jo Hoffman posts one image each day on her beautiful new blog called ‘STILL’. Conceived as a one-year project dedicated to exploring “the compulsive human desire to gather, sort, arrange, and document”, Mary Jo arranges her daily collections of found natural objects on a white background, keeping to a minimalist format…
My thoughts? Love it… so completely day enhancing… can’t wait to see what each day brings…
Congratulations Mary Jo, welcome to the blog world! xx
