The Year in Flowers is a truly beautiful daybook from a gifted artist -- Katy Gilmore of the blog her spirits rose
Katy is an artist with words as well as with watercolor and her observations on the passing months are a pleasure to read.
The illustrations are utterly charming in their simplicity . . .
And, of course, there's room for your own words -- garden notes, journaling, poeticizing, philosophizing -- wherever inspiration leads you.
I've been enjoying Katy's blog for some time now and, having discovered that we share many interests, we've become blog friends, separated by a continent. Last year, after I'd gone all fan girl about her painting, Katy sent me this lovely book and I've been enjoying it month by month -- such a lovely gift!
I was happy to see, as I thought ahead to some Christmas and birthday gifts, that the book is aailable on line at various places,....
(Disclaimer: this book was a personal gift, not a copy sent in hopes of a review. But I thought some of you fellow flower lovers out there might be interested...)
