Pressing flowers and time
September 11, 2007 | Filed Under etsy, vintage | by Sarah Blank | 7 CommentsI am thrilled…I hit sixty today on Etsy! I want to thank all of you for supporting my art and stopping by my shop! A recent schedule change has left me exhausted but I plan to have some new art up very soon. Septemeber (as lovely as it is!) is such an adjustment month for me, and I rarely have time to paint!
Anyways, my prints have been shipped off into the world like this:
And speaking of the word pressed…While rummaging through a junk shop I found this:
It is SO much more enjoyable to be pressing flowers than time!
I am going to press some pretty Autumn leaves. They are s-l-o-w-l-y starting to turn here. I was reading that you can dip them in wax as well to preserve them long term.
Fabulous flower press, Sarah!!! I’m sure you’ll put it to great use once things settle down a bit for you. That letter is divine as well. Congrats on hitting 60!!!:D
Oh thank you so much! I love the press. My husband just bought me forwer press #2 last weeknd too!!
Your Etsy buys are so lovely!!
I’ve got a set of Wool and Water’s magical dolls on their way to my little nook as we speak!! I can hardly wait!! Thank You for the mention, by the way, how very kind of you. 
Have a lovely weekend!!
And you too! I can’t wait to see your paper dollies!
Oh…..my comment above seems to have been sent to the wrong post…..but I’ll also add that your flower press is divine as is your print mailer!! How lovely and thoughtful!
what a beautiful Etsy find you have there! Fall is definitely upon us, love the new paintings you’ve been posting lately.
