Already when we bought this house and saw plans for us what we wanted to do, we often enough also looked at the small house that was next to our house ….

The old chicken house of the previous resident where there was also room for a few pigs ,.

What should we do with this, a question we often asked each other. are we also going to keep chickens , of course it is a nice idea and I would like it best . But every year we do leave home for a few months, and depending on care for animals around the house is also not so easy.

In the first years that we lived here we thought maybe this will be a nice house to renovate for guests, a mini tiny house!

Gradually we made some plans, but we were also too busy with the renovation of the house.

We put the plan we had aside, we had too much on our minds, until my son came up with the idea again … yes remodel mom.. amusing… I will transform this into a mini tiny house for you!

Nice idea , but when is this going to happen and there must also be money to make all this a reality.

Again it was pushed aside and the years went on, yes time flies here in slovenia too.

It is so nice to live, wonderful in the peace with lots of nature around us, .

Every day I go for a walk with mika, every day I walk among the flowers, along the valley, scents and colors mix together into a pallet of peace, warmth and love. Love for the beautiful environment where we live, feeling the warmth of all the beautiful elements from this nature, experiencing the peace when I take my walk in silence, my camera with me, sometimes musing about all the dreams and ideas that develop.

I had been working on all these wild flowers for a while, what can I do with this fact, the combination, that peace and space, the scents of herbs, flowers everywhere.

Years ago, I was a florist for a long time and I thought back to that time, how much I enjoyed working with flowers, cutting, passing through my hands, sniffing scents, combining colors together. And back in the day as a child, I think back to that time. I often stood in the kitchen among my mother’s herbs, and when she was gone I would mix, taste, smell and try herbs in food or on my skin.

Now it is clear to me what I want. I’m going to pick all these flowers and herbs.

I’m reading more about it, studying what it is and how it’s used.

My plant collection grows steadily every time I do my regular round with mika and it makes me so happy.

In our house I looked for a suitable place, where I could best dry. In the garage was possible but whether Gertjan, my husband would be happy with this was difficult.

After several weeks, I walked to the cottage, the chicken coop. Would this space perhaps be suitable for my collections of flowers and herbs. I started cleaning , thousands of spiders had to clear the field between a large layer of dust, straw and old poop.

But I kept going, I felt that this house could become a very important place. My thoughts went on, and as it often goes with me, by being there, feeling, mixing of thoughts, dreams, everything fell into place for me. . This is the one I am going to create a space here, with flowers, herbs !

A place where i can retreat, feel myself one with my passion, among the scents that come together in my mind, which makes me happy in Slovenia, here in this beautiful area, the karst mountains!

Now I’m 4 weeks further, not much has happened yet, but every time I walk into the chicken coop, I smell my herbs, flowers hanging and drying. A great, nice place, dry, no draft, something darkened, it feels good!

This story is not yet finished and has a continuation on a road where my strength and passion lies!
