it's a book full of gorgeous black and white line drawings crying out for some colour. at the same time, i would worry of messing up the pretty illustrations that i don't know if i would have the nerve to start colouring!
the illustrations - a flower garden, a wreath, a lantern, an owl, a backyard, and so much more - are pretty. each scene has little critters hiding, frogs, bees, butterflies, etc. there are mazes in which to get lost too. these illustrations are meant for sharing (as my mother-in-law did, see below) or keeping as your own and framing them.
there's something so meditative and simple about colouring. i loved it as a child and wonder, maybe i should pick it up again. secret garden comes in journals, postcards and notecards. what do you think? colouring for adults...
we gifted the secret gardens postcards to my mother-in-law who enjoys the relaxing and de-stressing nature of colouring and she loves sending greeting cards so we thought the gift would be perfect. not long after the holidays, we received one of her postcards in the mail as a thank you. lovely, right?
