Ruusuja - Roses

Pitkäaikainen ystäväni MiPe muisti minua syntymäpäivänä näillä ihanilla ruusuilla. Ensi-ihastuksen jälkeen tajusin, että nämähän ovat itse asiassa puhelinluettelon sivuja, jotka on dipattu punaiseen steariiniin. Kerta kaikkiaan upea idea ja aivan mahtava lopputulos! Kiitokset!!! ♥

My long term friend MiPe gave me these roses on my birthday. After the first amazement I realized that the roses are actually pages of telephone directory which have been dipped in red candle wax. What a wonderful idea and such beautiful end result. Thank you!!! ♥

 I read within a poet's book

A word that starred the page:

"Stone walls do not a prison make,

Nor iron bars a cage!"

Yes, that is true; and something more

You'll find, where'er you roam,

That marble floors and gilded walls

Can never make a home

But every house where Love abides,

And Friendship is a guest,

Is surely home, and home-sweet-home:

For there the heart can rest.
