Day 4: Painting the roses red



I simply love roses. They share the number one place in my floral favourites with orchids. A fresh vase of roses always brightens up the whole room and soul, and even when they're withered away they still manage to bring beauty to the eyes of their beholder (at least I love dead roses and dry every bouquet I receive!). And I fully sign the following quotation:


" I'd rather have roses on my table than diamonds on my neck."
- Emma Goldman

PS: I actually have a similar bell jar with a wilted rose in my home. :) My rose doesn't really emit that magical glow, but it's still a wonderful reminder of one of the best love stories.

    1. On se kyllä upea animaatio! Ja siitä saa myös hienoja sanontoja, suosikkina on "No mitäs menit länsisiipeen!" jota käytetään usein sisarusten kanssa. :D

  3. Those roses are gorgeous! Such a stunning shade of red! I was going to buy some roses last Wednesday as a kind of house warming gift for my newly renovated living room (I guess you could call it a room warming gift instead!) but with all the renovating that has been going on I've not felt it was the appropriate time what with all the dust and paint cans! I didn't want to spoil their beauty! Now the room is finally finished I can enjoy a bouquet or two every now and then! I'm planning on getting a bunch of Poinsettias on Thursday seeing as it is nearly Christmas, they'll add the perfect finishing touch :)

    I just adore Beauty and the Beast, it's my second favourite Disney film after The Sword in the Stone and followed closely by Snow White. This is definitely the time of year to be watching them again! ~♥~

    1. I think there's always a good reason to buy a bouquet of these lovelies, though usually I just get them as a gift from my love. <3 Congrats on the new living room!

    1. Flowers are wonderful! <3 I love to circle in the summer gardens and breath the scents in. But I do have a couple of flowers species that I don't enjoy so much, sunflowers and daisies. Must be the yellow colour ;)

  10. Mulla on tollanen lasikupu myös! Faija osti sen mulle ilman mitään syytä :) Se oli varmaan kuullu liian monta kertaa, ku oon höpöttäny, että sellanen olis niin kiva. Oon aikonu laittaa sinne jonkun kukan, mutta en oo vielä ehtiny. Täytyis keksii ensin, että minkä sinne laittais (ite en tavallisista ruusuista välitä, juhannusruusut sen sijaan on aivan ihania.. hmm täytyy odottaa ehkä kesää, että sellasen saa jonkun pihalta napattua :D) Joka tapauksessa kaunis koriste ja muistuttaa tosiaan niin kauniista tarinasta :)

    1. Hei mistä näitä saa uutena? :D Etsin ties kuinka kauan tuollaista kupua ja sattumalta löysin yhden kirpparilta, mutta tosi mieluusti ottaisin pari lisää. Ja juhannusruusut on ihania!
