Friday Bliss #4


LAZY LADY’S DECO
This is an instant DIY job. Looks nice but does not, of course, last long.
A nice autumn decoration for one festive evening.
I used my old salix wreath, added some lime Humulus lupulus branches with cones.
In a few seconds ready to host a candle in the middle at the dinner table.
But all my candles were somewhere in Christmas decoration boxes - upstairs out of my reach!




MY READING 
this week has been the newly released MRS C - a fiction novel by Minna Rytisalo. 
It is a book about the young Minna Canth (1844 - 1897) who was a writer and 
keen defender of women’s rights.
The 19th of March we celebrate Minna Canth and equal rights for men and women.
She is the only woman in Finland who has been honoured with an own flag day.


In her later years Minna Canth looked a bit roundish. But this pretty and slender 
she looked in 1865 on her engagement day.
Young Minna Johnson was studying to be a teacher but love came in between
 - and aroused a scandal in the bourgeois small town.
Her fiancé was her physics teacher in the seminar and 9 years older - quite inappropriate.
When the husband died she was tragically pregnant for the seventh child.
Yet she conquered the deep depression and brought up her children and continued to write.


WORLD ANIMAL WEEK 
is being celebrated right now 4th - 10th of October. I made a very, very long lists of writers 
who write about cats. Both Finnish and international names. Click! 
On Sunday I’ll tell you more of literary cats.
