my box today, mainly because my grandchildren takes all my energi for the

moment being.

BUT thanks to JULIA,

my also special,and dear,dear friend I am here, to show you my box.

I went totally romantic, and placed a balletdancer inside the box,

filled it with flowers, and papers,

and made her dance there.

The outside is covered with the copy of a beautifull rosecard,

Lisa once gifted me with, and which colors exatly goes with the ones

chosen here.( sorry you can not see it)

The evening of Sct.Hans where all the witches flyes to Blogsbjerg

This my witch flying peacefull, in my garden today,was realy supposed to be

eighter burned or have been flying to Blogsbjerg

on the night of 23/6  Sct.Hans evening,-lol

But she looks very happy to still be here.

and not ending her dayes on this fire.!!

Every year this night, fires are made in Denmark  all over,

to symbolize the witch burning in the middle age, where every wice woman,being able to

make "witchcraft" was burned if catched.

A very terribly ,terribly, law.

*****************************

Tomorrow my two sweet grandchildren comes to visit with us, for the next

8 dayes.

Playing around here, watching the bies collecting honey in all the beautifull flowers

or watching the swaans on the East Sea,

I`m sure we will have a very great and happy time together, and I can`t wait

to hug them tomorrow, when arriwing.

But that also means, not very much blogging,

so I hope you will wait for comments from me ,on your blogs ,till the two

dears, are back home again.

I will miss you, but sooo enjoy the kids,

so till then, everyone have a wonderfull week, -take care, and enjoy

your dayes.

*******************************

---------------Extra note:  I have got the most wonderfull gifts on my birthday,from friends and blogging

friends, ------They will all be photographed ,for you to see,

when I`m back again,after following the two "babyes" home.

It is not a beautifull room,but a room full of  inspiration, and all kind of materials,all over,just waiting to be
used, for all kind of creations.

My husbond made me this table ,in two highs, for sitting sewing,-and standing

cutting, or working with collages, or whatever I wants to!

Underneeth shelfs to hold all kind of stuff.

This is the same table, on the other side of the sewingmaschine.

Old silverbowl filled with old kyes

Shelfs full of beautifull things

Wonderfull  olf books
