Adventski vjenčić / Advent Wreath


Sutra je prvi dan došašća / Adventa.
Svake godine radim adventski vjenčić,
trudim se, na vrijeme,
ali ove mi se godine Advent doslovno prišuljao iza leđa.

Tomorrow is the first day of Advent.
I make Advent Wreath every year
and try to make it on time,
but this particular year Advent litteraly sneaked up on me.



Danas je cijeli dan padala kiša, 
nije baš pogodno vrijeme za branje zeleniša.
Ubrala sam što je naišlo;
malo kadulje, koja maslinova grančica, malo smrike,
magunje, zelenike i još nečega čije ime ne znam,
ali raste divlje oko kuće.

It was rainy all day long,
not so pleasant weather for picking up some greenery.
I picked what I have found around my home;
some sage, olive braches, juniper,
strawberry tree, local sort of oak and something else,
that I don't know name of.



Grančice sam zabadala u formu od slame i,
nakon nekog vremena,
dobila sam ovogodišnji vjenčić.

I sticked the branches into straw form and,
after a while,
I got this year's Advent Wreath.



 Uvijek koristim prirodne materijale,
točnije ono što nađem oko kuće.

I always use all natural material,
well, the materials I can found near by.



Ove godine nemam nikakve mašne niti ukrase,
odlučila sam naglasak staviti na bobice i plodove.
Mislila sam ukomponirati i orahe i mendule (bademe, bajame),
ali sam odustala.
To ću slijedeće godine :)
Ove godine neka sve bude  crveno-zeleno.

This year I didn't use any bows or decorations,
I decided to put an accent on wild berries and fruits.
I was thinking of composing some wallnuts and almonds,
but I decided not to for now.
I will use that idea next year :)
I am going to make this year's decor red-green.




Tko bi rekao da je svaka od nabranih biljaka različite zelene boje?

Who could know that every plant I used has a different shade of green?



Sutra, za ručkom, palimo prvu adventsku svijeću.
Još samo četiri nedjelje do Božića :)

Tommorow, at dinner time, we light up first Advent candle.
We are counting only four Sundays untill Christmas :)

  6. Prelepo izgleda, a najlepše od svega je što je sve prirodno, što si svojom rukom ubrala i sve spojila i načinila jedno malo umetničko delo od onoga što nam je priroda nesebično poklonila. To je prava mala magija! :)

    1. sve nam je tu, pred nosom, meni zelenilo, tebi stare knjige :)
      u tome je draž; reciklirati u nešto novo, sasvim drugačije, po svome ukusu

  7. Lepši je nego prošlogodišnji. Eto, vidiš, tebe ništa ne može da iznenadi i omete! Ni kiša, ni advent koji ti se došunjao tik iza leđa!

  8. predivan... nadam se samo da ti se ne će sve posušit i otpast listovi... naime i sama sam radila nešto slično pa sam imala baš taj problem sa sušenjem :(

    1. jedino je kadulja problematična jer se ona sasuši ubrzo. ostale biljke ostaju izgledom iste, sasuše se, naravno, ali ostaju zelene. bobice će se smežurati, ali ništa ne otpada. izdržati će još 3 tjedna, sigurno.

  9. That is beautiful! I love that you use all natural materials!

  10. Baš je poseban, onako mediteranski i aromatičan :)

  11. Ana, you are the devil in disguise! So beautiful, the natural materials are waaaaaay better than anything you can buy in store! The last plant I think it's buxus, we have it here in green hedges everywhere in the city and it makes tiny white fruit in November. Anyway, I still remember your advent from last year - and I am now working on a natural wreath of my own... I love the rich texture of the different natural leaves and the happy colors... A pleasure to look at!

  12. Prekrasan venčić. Posebno mi se dopada što je od prironih materijala, biljaka iz tvoje okoline.

  13. hvala cure, na komplimentima! Volim prirodne materijale, skoro nikad me ne dopadne nešto iz dućana jer svake godine Advent dolazi sve ranije i ranije, a ja uvijek nespremna, a svi dućani nedjeljom zatvoreni :)

    Thank you, girl, on your lovely comments! I love natural materials, but, at the other hand, it seems to me that Advent is approaching earliar and earlier each year and it catches me unprepared and usually on Sunday when all stores are closed :) that's why I don't have anything from the store, ah..
