where do you call home?

Posted by Aprile on 2009.04.21:

These photos are from yesterday, because today we're back in our hometown for a visit. As soon as I put up those little butterfly cutouts with sticky tac, the cat was right up there to try and eat them. She is so adorable sometimes, although trying to ruin all my hard work.

These little vellum envelopes (below) are filled with dried flowers, twigs, leaves, pressed flowers, doilies, and some paper confetti. They're sealed on both ends with tape, so you could open them if you wanted to, but the beauty is that you don't have to. They will be going with my special edition of Oh Sweet Woods (a new zine). This is the least of the mess that I made.

Right now, it feels good to be back at home and away from the city. It was a rainy day today but I don't mind the rain. I was thinking of doing a little A to Z of where I grew up (complete with pictures), a la my new favourite blog Good-ness, but I'm not sure how much I will actually get to see. It's relaxing time. Ahhh.

Plus, where I grew up isn't too exciting.
