The murmur of bees, the scents of freshly cut grass and sunbaked earth... The tranquility of a summer afternoon is captured in this unusual, delicate journal. Souvenirs de Fleurs: A Pressed Flower Keepsake Book is a guide to the gentle craft of flower pressing, storing, and mounting. A brief history of Victorian flower pressing is included, as well as pages for pressing, glassine envelopes to showcase your treasures, and plenty of space in which to record your reminiscences. --Julie Ubben

Spring's blooms wither all too soon, but 'Souvenirs de Fleurs,' a journal on how to press flowers like the Victorians did, lets them live on. Louise Kollenbaum describes how to prepare and press your delicate keepsakes and includes blank pages you can fill with your own reflections on garden strolls. But it's her drawings that make you want to take up the genteel hobby; her translucent blooms seem smoothed onto the pages, with petals of orange and purple imposed on the free-flowing script of a fountain pen.
