✨💐 I made this glass locket necklace with a single, pressed blue hydrangea petal to keep a sweet and cherished memory close. I love the twig texture detail on the edge of the gold case! I love how it turned out. What do you think?

🌱 Have you ever forced bulbs indoors? These lil fellas are paperwhites - swipe to see their gorgeous white blossoms! It’s incredibly easy to get them to bloom inside the house - pretty much all you need is a small glass bottle or bowl and some water! Check out the details on the blog, link in bio! @ Hudson Valley, NY

Some lovely little treasures I found on my nature walk today. I love collecting little bits and pieces along the way, how about you? Do you display them once you’re back at home? 🍂🌲

☘️ Do you know why the shamrock is used as a symbol of St. Patrick's Day? The shamrock is believed to be representative of clover (though there is much debate about exactly which species), which St. Patrick purportedly used as a visual aid while explaining the mystery of the Holy Trinity. It's actually been associated with the Irish as far back as the end of the sixteenth century!

On the feast of St. Patrick, it became customary to wear fresh sprigs of clover in your hat or upon your coat. After attending mass, men would find their way to the nearest tavern (lifting their Lenten restrictions) and begin to toast to St. Patrick with glasses of whiskey. When it was time for last call, they would toss their fresh sprigs of clover into their last drink, and upon finishing their booze, they would toss the wet greens over their left shoulder for good luck in a ritual known as "drowning the shamrock".

I love learning about the history and folklore behind different botanical traditions - do you? How are you planning to spend your St. Patrick’s Day? ✨☘️

Paging through some old pressed flowers this morning...usually I just press my flowers between the pages of big old books, but I’m thinking about making an actual flower press - it seems like a pretty easy diy project. How do you press your flowers? Do you think I should make a wooden flower press?

🌱 About halfway through March...and that means it’s time to start more seeds inside! I might also venture into the garden to plant a few seeds out there like radishes, peas, and arugula. I wasn’t quite sure about it, but there was a robin outside on the grass this morning and now I feel like spring is especially close! Have you seen any signs of spring on the way? 🌸 ☀️

To make a prairie
it takes a clover and one bee,
One clover, and a bee.
And revery.
The revery alone will do,
If bees are few.
- To Make a Prairie, Emily Dickinson
. . . .

Did you know that in addition to her poetry, Emily Dickinson was also impassioned by botany? In an era when primarily men were at the forefront of the scientific establishment, Dickinson created a beautiful herbarium of over 400 pressed plants!

Pictured here is a small flowerhead of Queen Anne’s lace I pressed last year.

✨ ACCOUNTABILITY // There are times in our lives when we say things to our friends and family - "She made me so angry" or "He's making me so upset" - but guess what? No one else has the power to make you feel any specific way!

When we say things like this, we're blaming someone else for making us feel that emotion, and we're absolving ourselves of responsibility in our reactions.

A small but very powerful shift you can begin to make in your life starts by holding yourself accountable for your own emotions. Instead of quickly shifting the focus back to another person, try to bring more awareness to these instances going forward - own your feelings. You can still be angry, you can still be upset - but you will begin to understand the "why" behind your emotions.

Claim your feelings, hold yourself accountable, and witness your life begin to shift in a more positive direction. 🍃☀️

🍊✨This citrus bath is a wonderful self-care ritual for the cold, bleak days of late winter (just like today)! Though it’s lovely to know that the days are slowly growing longer, this time of year can still present itself as a very difficult hurdle for some of us. If the winter blues have got you down, self-care can be a great tool to help you get through it. Citrus is a wonderfully uplifting scent - it can drastically affect your mood, and even help to ease symptoms of grief or sadness. It’s also very brightening for the skin! 🛀 🍃 🍊 check out the link in our bio to check out how to quickly put this bath together and reap the benefits.
