Flower Child

Oh how I love flowers. Walking in the grass barefoot instantly brightens my day. 

Nature's beauty makes me a happy girl.

Sometimes when I'm feeling a little down all I want is a flower. I can't just ask for a flowers..

But I can go looking!

Nature is not something separate from us.

What we are really saying is
We've lost the connection to ourselves."

I know.. so many pictures! I'm not sorry though. Flowers cheer me up, I'm positive they cheer you up as well. These pictures are for you.
I hope they brighten your day. I hope they make you smile.

Your smile brightens up the room.

On another note...

Tomorrow 5 new hats will be listed in my shop!

These really are my favorite hats.

They remind me of flowers, laughter and skipping rocks!
