Most often these flowers lay forgotten about until one day I would come across them. I would then make cards and pictures for family.
As I got older, my love for flowers only grew. I love having a garden and house full of flowers.
I was delighted to discover a pretty wooden flower press from Laura Ashley and promptly ordered myself one. I could not wait for it to arrive!
It did arrive quickly, so I chose some little flowers to press. You place them between pieces of blotting paper and cardboard and leave the flowers in the press for about a week. Larger flowers will take longer.
I have a few ideas about what I would like to make with my pressed flowers. I've seen such pretty arrangements that have made a lovely framed picture.
What a great idea!
