Dandelions

IMG_0213

It was my birthday last week, and among some other gorgeous things, I was given this wish necklace from Helen. It's a tiny glass bottle containing dandelion seeds from her home garden. Like H, I'm a weed/wildflower fan and the idea of carrying some tiny seeds around my neck appeals greatly. It reminded me of these dandelion sketches I did a while back. Also the way I couldn't walk past a dandelion seedhead as a kid without blowing to disperse the seeds. Okay, so I still do that as an adult..

    Happy birthday! That necklace is too perfect. I do hope your move goes well and that you discover lots of things that have been lurking in boxes since your last one. Nice things, that is, not giant weta and sticky cobwebs…

    I blow on dandelion heads too, to the dismay of my neighbours…

    The necklace is so very sweet, but I have to say I wish to have fewer dandelions in my garden, they are impossible to get rid of! Happy birthday to you for last week, I hope it was a wonderful day.
