Vapun värit - Colors of 1st of May


That skull with a big scary eye is a lamp :))



Happy May Day! - Hyvää vappua!


The next Makrotex Challenge is SPRING.
Räntä - sleet - wet snow is very usual in Finland 
when May Day celebrations approach.
But I have never ever seen this much snow on the 30st of April!




We call May Day Vappu. It is a celebration of workers and students, young and old.
Everybody puts his or her white student cap on... Read more of the Vappu in Finland!

No champagne or sima on our terrace today....





Take care - stay warm!

Weekend in Black & White







April thoughts


1. This cold April is soon coming to its end... Waiting for spring to begin!



2. The weather has been really bad: showers of rain, hail and snow...




3. Color Collage is a fun linkup that I enjoy weekly.
See more of my collages here.



4. Books - a tip to those of you who read in Spanish:
Rosa Montero's very interesting book about Marie Curie and sorrow after loosing her spouse:
La ridícula idea de no volver a verte - The ridiculous idea of not seeing you any more.


5. Happy May Day!



Visit Helsinki

Makrotex-haaste

Wishing you all a great May Day weekend!

This week some miscellaneous photos that I took at the florists' and outdoors.
I could also ask what Floral Bliss? Hail showers, snow showers and cold & wind.

Hails on Friday...

Snow on Sunday, Monday, Tuesday...


Some sun in between...

Happy becoming May Day!

Kukkailottelua - Celebration Week!

celebrates its 1 Year Anniversary - You can link the whole week.


Aiheena tänään ASETELMA.
En oikein tiedä mitä Taina tällä aiheella ajatteli...
Itsellä materiaalitkin olivat vähissä, kaikki pääsiäiskukat jo kuihtuneet. Tämä irtosi.


Today STILLEBEN. I ran short of materials, all my florals had withered.
This is what I got out of them.




Kukkailoa viikonloppuun! - Floral Delight to your weekend!

Mutta sammal on sentään nätin vihreää! - But the moss is pretty and green!
