We've been having a rather chilly summer so far. Tried to spend an afternoon at the beach yesterday but had to put my sweater back on after a couple of minutes! Take a moment to check out these beautiful images shot by Anna Ådén. She is soooo talented. This is the kind of photography I long to shoot. This makes me want to work harder.

(Thank you Jeana)*

Look what I found today! How very sweet. Get them here at Tiny Happy's little shop.

Flora

A book by the sensational Nick Knight that I would like to carry on my bookshelf. It took him three years to put together, and all the specimens come from the herbarium at the Natural History Museum of London, which boasts an extraordinary collection of animals, and unbeknownst to some, an impressive botanical department that hosts roughly six million flora specimens! Inspired by their beauty he took to photographing them and put this beautiful book together.

"...Seeing in a way I could not have imagined."

-Nick Knight

Nothing to do with flowers. Everything to do with pretty dressing. Today, I'd like to wear this.

Nature's Way

Eve Suter's beautiful and delicate organic floral compositions are the perfect balance of nature and man. Read more about her engaging story here. Lovely.

Thistle can be surprisingly beautiful. Grab a pretty vase and throw some in. It lasts at least a week but can go quite longer. There you have it: a nice, lasting & affordable bouquet for the week* Happy Saturday

The Black Spot

Beautiful. Nostalgic. Ethereal. Wandering. Thank you, The Black Spot.
