Sunny Summer Sunday

After four days of non-stop helicopter noise and police/emergency sirens, we were rewarded with the finest ( and quiet) summer Sunday as a compensation for that insane G20 madness. So we finally took our bikes for the first tour this year.

Planten Un Blomen

Hamburg is a VERY green city, with numerous beautiful and well maintained parks. One of the largest and prettiest is "Planten Un Blomen". It's a gem, a paradise for tree and flower lovers, an oasis no matter what season. You can walk around for hours, or just sit and relax and enjoy being alife on one of the many benches and chairs, on the lawn near lakes and waterfalls or under a tree.
Countless blooming flowers make for the most colorful experience on a sunny day.

Look at these beautiful pink hyacinths! Don't they just scream "spring" and put you in a good mood instantly?

This is not what they looked like though, when i found them at my favorite flower shop. They were leftovers from the weekend, almost wilted, squeezed into a tiny corner, looking sad, sold at a bargain price. Oh, and they were plain white.

DIY: Washi Tape Paper Flower Wreath

The first project i shared here on my blog was a wreath. Back then, i did not care for wreaths at all and thought they were stupid, but within the past two years my taste has changed and i LOVE wreaths!

Wreaths are beautiful, gorgeous, stunning, fun, seasonal, ...

I have an entire Pinterest board dedicated to wreaths, and at every link party, photos of wreaths are the first ones that catch my attention. Not only are the wreaths freaking fabulous, but so are the creativity and skills of the people who create those wreaths!
