cow parsley

amsterdam cow parsley

Flowers for my dear friend. A huge bunch of cow parsley, picked from the verge.
We visited my friend Ank and met her at the stunning new location of her store Household Hardware in Amsterdam last Sunday.

It was the sunniest Sunday of 2015 sofar, more on that soon.
