Why I Don't Wish I Was a Tree




If you've been following my instagram feed (@thegentleflower) you'll have noticed that it snowed here on Thursday (and Friday, Saturday, Sunday...). I woke up to lots and lots of snow on Thursday morning. I was not happy. I hate snow with a passion.

Today when I took out the trash my pants got all wet afterwards from all the snow, and the lid on one of the trash cans was frozen stuck to the can. Snow even makes recycling hard.

But do you know who I feel really sorry for when it snows? All the flowers and trees. Imagine being a tree, having to be outside all year, with meters of snow weighing you down for 3/4 of the year. That must be horrible. And cold. And wet. They never get a break. I look at them when the wind is blowing, and they're shivering the poor things. I'm so happy I'm not a tree.

So to say a thanks to those trees out there, sticking it out through winter, spring, summer and fall (did anyone else just sing the theme to Gilmore Girls when they read that? No? Ok. I'm probably the only one that knows it by heart.) I'd like to give you a 15% off discount (also because I love you guys and because I would really like to send you a snow-filled package with some goodies ;) kidding about the snow.). Enter coupon code DIESNOWDIE at check out (in spirit of saving the trees). The coupon code is valid until Friday at midnight, so go and shop our store now! (Be sure to get your Christmas presents in time!)

Have a lovely Sunday, and I hope your trees aren't as sad as mine.

Calling for Summer

This morning it snowed!!!!!!
I was SOOO mad, you have no idea!
I thought the summer came early this year, as I was walking around in a summer dress for a week.. in APRIL! That's quite amazing (here)!

But of course, it didn't last and it snowed this morning :C

Thankfully, the flowers in our garden have starting blossoming and the sun is out again now so that the snow didn't stick. PHE-EW!


So today I'd like to dedicate a post to calling for summer and saying bye bye to winter!!

I want less none of this...


(The picture above was taken last autumn on our drive home from Sweden)


I want more of this...








(The pictures above are taken of the current flowers that are blossoming in our garden.. blue irises. Aren't they lovely??! Please excuse the winter-worn grass.)

And more of this...





(The pictures above were taken of the Anemones in our garden last summer)


And even more of this!!!





(The pictures above were taken on Jumeirah Beach in Dubai last Easter)


I'm a summer-loving, sun-addicted, beach babe (haha ;)) and I can't wait till summer!
