Winter :: Branches

Gosto que a nossa casa vá reflectindo o ritmo das estações. Lá fora, a maioria das árvores está despida e pode admirar-se a sua beleza escultural. Cá dentro, os ramos têm espaço para respirar e, com sorte, darão flor daqui a uns tempos. Para fazer companhia aos ramos de macieira silvestre em cima da lareira, cortei alguns galhos de cerejeira e pereira. E não resisti a fazer uma coroa nova para a casa-de-jantar.

I enjoy making our home reflect the rhythm of the seasons. Outdoors, most trees are bare and one can admire their scultural beauty. Indoors, branches have room to breathe and will hopefully bloom in the near future. In addition to the crab apple branches on the mantel, I cut some cherry and pear twigs and put them in water. And I couldn’t resist making a new wreath for our dining room.

    Ha ha – my mantelpiece looks somewhat like yours! I was most amused (and in fact delighted) to see that we've both posted about twig displays today! I'd love to try a wreath like yours, too.

    adoro o despojado e o nú branco de janeiro. Também para mim cada mês tem a sua cor.Ao pé de minha casa consegui arranjar uns jarros para fazer um arranjo. Arranjos de flores e de mesas são duas coisas que me fazem vibrar. Gostei muito dos seus arranjos com as flores silvestres, parabéns.

    Hola Concha! I'm a new follower of your blog (read your guest post on IndieFixx) and have to tell you how charming your blog is. I wanted to comment on the Tintin comic poster I saw in the background of the last photo you posted on IndieFixx but I didn't see it here. I absolutely love that poster! My husband grew up in England reading the Tintin series so I would love to get it for him. Where did you buy it? You can find me here if you wouldn't mind sharing where you found such a gem 🙂 http://sweetlime-and-savorysnack.blogspot.com/ Saludos, Blanca
