I love it! Violets are so beautiful. Many here (U.S.) consider them a weed. Though, the young leaves are edible as are the flowers which make a great addition to salads and desserts. I was always fond of violets as a child. We have them growing in the yard and I told my husband I’d love to have a yard full of them and we wouldn’t have to mow! He is, unfortunately,of the opinion that they are weeds. Sigh.
Etsy posted an ‘animal dance’ search on Facebook, which led me to clicking through to your tamborine player…and a huge grin of delight from me! I bought some recipe cards from you a couple of years back and was utterly charmed by the designs you draw. I’m so glad there’s new stuff to choose from! And delighted that you’re sharing them in your blog, so I can get a steady infusion of designs that make me grin. Order to follow, when I can whittle down my favorites. :)
nice!
what kind of flower is it?
the leaves look like trillium…

@Risa It’s a violet – I’m not sure exactly what kind, the ones that grow quite commonly around here :)
