I had planned on taking the kids to the Botanical Gardens, but I was feeling under the weather, so I kept that plan to myself and instead gathered some supplies to make a quick springtime craft. Hopefully we can go the gardens another day this week!
Emma received a flower press for her birthday last year. All of our pressed flowers and clovers came from some flowers the girls collected and pressed last summer.
The kids are right in the middle of spring break this week, Jeremy's is next week. It's kind of a bummer they don't line up, but we're trying to make the most of it.
And I just wanted to mention that I am part of the Amazon Affiliate program, if you are interested in purchasing the Brambly Hedge books or the stamps we used to make the banner, click on the links in the post. The links will take you to Amazon and where you can purchase them. We receive a small percent for each purchase made from my links and that small percent is a huge help to our family while Jeremy is in school! Thanks for your support!

Bramley Hedge was my favourite when I was a girl! I read the stories all the time, and packed away in our loft are piles and piles of drawings I made of cutaway trees with Bramley Hedge-style rooms. I thought when I grew up I would eat primrose puddings, string crabapples by the fire and make chestnut bread. It's so lovely to see the books still being enjoyed and encouraged! Thank you for this lovely echo from my past.
I love your spring banner. where on earth did you get the flower press? i would love one of those!
Gen, my parents gave it to Emma, my dad actually made it for her, but you can find them on Amazon or make your own. It's been so fun for the kids.
