Florrie's Garden

❝ Instructions for living a life:
Pay attention. Be astonished. Tell about it. ❞
Hello there, my name is Florrie. I am an april-born daydreamer, quiet-talker and rabbit-hearted girl. I'm an enthusiast of handwritten letters, secret gardens, old music boxes, overgrown cottages, forgotten journals, and all things that can safekeep memories. During my free time I enjoy watercolour painting, reading poems, drinking tea, daydreaming, listening to orchestras, and writing little notes about it all.  

  I am Currently...

  • Delighting in: Empty journals with promising blank pages
  • Paying attention to: The consolation found in the moral of a fairytale
  • Spending time on: Discovering new habits and improving at old ones
  • Listening to: The chirps from a bird nest outside my bedroom window
  • Indulging in: Blueberry and coconut pavlova with white chocolate
  • Visiting: The children's literature section of the public library
  • Practicing: Listening to the language of birds, making an inventory of sounds
  • Looking forward to: A new year, the blessing of experiences we've yet to know

    While I am Getting to Know Florrie: Some notes on having an evergrowing sense of self: how time transforms change into blossom, and how, meanwhile, we turn to the echo of who we once were, seeking a foretelling of who we are fated to become.   •   Reading Time: 4 minutes

      A Message From Your Gardener

    Florrie's Garden celebrates its first anniversary this January and I am overjoyed! The seed of this little website was sown in a moment of vulnerability. I wrote in my journal about feeling as if my memories had been transfiguring into wisps of mist and dissipating into air. I needed to create a space of self-expression in order to make them tangible again. And how sweet it has been, watching its petals unfold. It finally feels like my real place on the internet. Thus, as my interests and sensibilities evolved, I decided to give The Notebook section a restart. In 2025, all old content will be archived and everything will grow anew. I look forward to planting new blossoms, and I hope you'll return to see them flourish too!
