This week I was playing in the garden. I wanted to "stage" a floral tea scene in my garden to share on Instagram. My go-to flower book is Western Wild Flowers by Margaret Armstrong, dated 1915, which I found in an antique shop several years ago. It is a real treasure and I refer to it often. I had to include it in a picture with flowers; so you will see it here in my garden enjoying a quiet moment with a cup of tea.
Most often I refer to the book to find wild flower picture ideas for my teabag art cards.
Here is a sample page inside the book. Sometimes there are colored pictures, but most often just black and white drawings.
Roy Berglund signed it in the back and his address is not far from where I live now.
If you look closely to the flower on the left in this picture you will see where the library once had it on it's shelves.
It is a treasure indeed.
Do you have a book that you treasure?
