Gathering


Hello again, 

I find that keeping a blog is a struggle for me. Probably because instead of writing too much, I want to post instead photos of the place I live, have visited and things which inspire me. Since my last post I decided to move back to Finland. I became home sick to see the pine tree woods. I moved to England, thinking of that I would find my roots from there or the place I belong to, but such thing did not happened. Instead I found my lost belonging from my own home country. And at the moment I am looking for a cabin in the woods, where I would be able to root down. All those years when I was trying to find out where I belonged to, i became so tired that I did not had solid roots. I so much wish that soon I would be able to find a new home, place to invite people for a woodland tea and maybe a little garden too to grow herbs & flowers. 


I have been here in Finland for 3 months now. Been very busy, I am not sure do I like the word busy at all... Working in my parents garden has mostly filled my days, I brought so many rare plants from England ( I think rare in Finland) with me like Salvias, Persicaria orientalis, Berkheya... At some point I may have a plant nursery on summer times. 


Also I have been making a new Etsy shop called "Pine Woods Home". It is a shop which I will fill with items, which I would decorate my own home in the woods with. This shop has been under progress for a quite long time and finally I opened it yesterday. To those who are my blog followers I am offering 10% off from your purchase, just use the code "pinewoodshome".
But still I will make jewelries for the Woodland Jewelries shop as well.


The days when I have not been creating I have been wandering in the woods: gathering first basket full of mushroom in early of July and blueberries too. Soon is the time to pick lingonberries, which are one of my favorite berries. I have also been gathering ingredients for woodland herbal teas. I will make a raw heather syrup soon as well. I have such a yearning to live this way, to live a earthy life. Grow and gather much of my own food as possible. Shame I can't grow my own coffee beans....


It would be lovely to know who is following this little blog?
