Flourish where you are planted

How many strenth and beauty is hidden in this quote by Mary Engelbreit.
Plants do not hanker after a better soil, but give all of themselves out there
they were planted.

This tiny fighters between rocks are inspiration for my creations.

Old houses

I like to roam about the old towns with old stone houses.
Old houses they have soul.
They are there for centuries and they hide secrets inside.
Love to look for little details that make them special.

I was raptured about this house. All that beautiful flowers and old stone walls
make it special. I wonder who is the person that takes care of it?
Must be special too.

The most beautiful moments of my summer vacation

How I adore the landscape and nature by the sea. Love to smell sea
and feel warm south winds on my skin. The most magical moments
are sunsets by the shore. I want to share some photos from Croatia's
coast where I spent my summer vacation.

World is so small with the net. I'm so glad that I found creative friends

Another sphere garden

One of my students at the clay workshop Sonja is a wonderful gardener. She has one of the most beautiful gardens around here. She took the picture of her sphere that I made for her last year. Isn't it beautiful in bloom?

Sphere garden in bloom

The succulent plants are my favorites!
I know, I've allready told you that.
I like the leaves and stems, which have
unusual shapes. And when they're in bloom,
my heart sings.
