I wish I could make the blossoms scented too... but I think any chemical scent would not last and might affect the paper too... so I will be contented with the mini Dream of seeing the bush in blossom!

I will take it! I agree, the Gypsy children will be asleep so the dark space doesn't matter... but maybe they will have a lantern too!

And I have to agree - there had to be a rainbow! As always I'm in awe with your painting skills… this wagon will be decorated with the finest wall art in the end that can compete with any church or castle… ;O) And I'm in awe that you've even managed to finish the 10th flower… bravo. About my dream… at the moment this is quite simple: Rain! We're having a serious heatwave in Northern Germany (incredible but true - our temperatures are higher than in Spain or Greece). Despite the fact that I'm not the type for hot weather it's hard to see nature suffering, especially in the time of spring where everything should be fresh and green. Nevertheless we can't complain too loud… many regions in Germany had to suffer from heavy rain floods and tornados causing enormous damages. But I dream of the soft, gentle spring rain… <br /><br />Hugs<br />BirgitBiWuBärhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16624262663621307478noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2249478764637750851.post-30819329875047585872018-05-31T12:25:14.828-04:002018-05-31T12:25:14.828-04:00Hi, Betsy - I love the child-sized sleeping nook, ...Hi, Betsy - I love the child-sized sleeping nook, all tucked away in its own small space. What a perfect spot for childish dreams - or daydreams. You've created such a colorful, cheerful space; if I were a child in that gypsy wagon, I'd always be impatient for bedtime to arrive. I'm glad to see that your lilac making is still going well.

I can imagine a little gypsyette lying in there at bedtime making up stories about her little furry and feathered friends. And with your most recent lilac, you are starting to accumulate a pile! Soon it will be a shrub and then it will be a whole bush.
