Windfall for the dyepot

Foraged a bit in the garden this morning.  It's been a fine stretch of summer
weather - plants are filled to bursting with blooms.
Found these spent petals, a cache from the 'black' hollyhocks ...
known around my place as
* promises waiting to happen *
Powerful mark-makers are these little sputniks !
Am still as head-over-heels as ever
and can't wait to give them a try on paper ...

Joining with the gang over at Kim's place for Friday Finds ...
lots of great stuff to be seen over there, go peek.

    What a lovely time you must have had in Scotland! (Are you also going to Japan with Patty this fall?)
    Aren't hollyhocks incredible...they are even more wonderful after freezing. Stop by some time, C. I'd love to see you--

    These are so beautiful. I thought they were little bundles from the dye pot at first Christi!

    Ive almost given away blogging... almost but not... so my visits to lovely people all over are so rare but I was prompted to say hello and send my warmest wishes as I did appreciated the moments we have exchanged going back.

    Hope all is well with you and many hours are spent at things you love!
    Warm wishes,
    Sophie

      I hope everything is going terrif for you in your world & that you're still creating up a storm ... yes, we've
      had lovely visits in the past haven't we? Ahhh, but life moves along and priorities change ....
      Still, soooooo good to say "HELLO" back. All best wishes to you.
