I came across this picture yesterday and it made me smile. Anyone who knows me, knows I'm obsessed with flowers. From my perfume ( 'Daisy' by Marc Jacobs' or 'FlowerBomb' Viktor and Rolf) to a giant collage on my wall, duvet cover, myriad dresses and even a range of earrings, it's fair to say - this is a fully fledged obsession! And it is one that I developed at a very young age. When no one was around to play, or the adults were busy talking, I would go out to the garden to pick lavender and roses - to squash. Pressing flowers is a rather old past time, ( that my dear neighbour taught me) , but I believe it's one in need of a comeback! 
I used to just stick them in books found lying around the house, wait till I remembered ( or my mother found them) and then stick them on my wall. I have since been introduced to a more comprehensive 'how to'. You can follow it HERE. Dreamy!

Was listening to you guys on radio active this morning. Nice work and good luck for Auckland!
This post also makes me smile as I use to press flowers in my childhood books as well and I still find some when I return home and flick through them. Very sweet post. :)
YONIC.
ha! Very. I'll do a phalic post just for you. Actually I am going to Auckland...and have you seen that Skytower?!
Haha, yes please dedicate a phallic post to me. Skytower certainly fits the category. Also, so did the poached eggs I made the other day - check it out on f'book. Scary stuff.
AUCKLAND AND IT'S PHALLIC'NIS. SKYTOWER, JOHN KEY, THE MISSION BAY WATERFALL, FERRY BUILDING, AUCKLAND UNIVERSITY CLOCK TOWER,
