Wild strawberries

I know we are a bit late compared to the rest of the world, but it is still strawberry season in Norway.

Walking in the woods these days you don't have to bring a snack along.

Everywhere you turn these bright red beauties encourage you to feast.

They surround themselves with pretty friends too. Isn't it enchanting how the bright red juicy berries are interspersed with the fine Queen Anne's Lace?

I had to buy the pale seafoam green frothy lace that now adorns Fru Sommerlig when I saw it at the Quilting Annual Meeting a few months ago. Rarely do I use my new materials immediately, usually they sit around in a dark cupboard or in this case my picnic basket filled with ribbons and laces.

Today I listed several new things in my shop, besides little strawberry girl.

This little purse is for my shop, and I think I want to make one for me.

I was completely flattered when I read this feature today on CraftyCrafty. So happy to know that people appreciate the tutorial I made. I plan on doing more, but we are pretty much in summer mode here now which means not a lot of crafting is getting done. I will have to show you my summer knitting and my summer flea market finds soon though!

I also keep making new friends. PeasandPotatoes a really sweet new Etsy seller of lovely and vintage baby clothes asked me if she could list my shop on her shop announcement because she thought her friends would like my things. Wasn't that nice?

I hope you are enjoying wonderful days whatever the season in your part of the world. We are doing our best to soak up the warm sunshine while we can!

We are enjoying the berries of summer here, in Tennessee USA, as well. On the edge of the yard we have wild raspberries. They are too, delicious, however, to ever make it into a recipe. Fru Sommerlig looks like she is ready for tea. Loved your beautiful post. Carolina

What an enchanting forest--sweet berries and delicate Queen Anne's Lace seem like just the setting for a fairy tale or two. One where Fru Sommerlig would be right at home.

I was just in Finland and Sweden on a cruise and was ADMIRING and LOVING the fresh fruit there. So plump and dark from all the lovely sun. :)

Oh-it has been too long since I have tasted a wild berry!

I was flying down the highway today when I saw a raspberry stand -BRAAAKE! Ahhh, my first raspberries of the season:)

Så flott den pungen var! Blomsten minner meg om små duker jeg har sett på bruktbutikker.

Var kjempehyggelig å hilse på deg på Blå! Bedre sent enn aldri ;) Tok meg en pause fra pc'en når jeg var å besøkte kjæresten i Trondheim ser du :) Men nå skal jeg bli flinkere å legge igjen kommentar når jeg er innom!
