Proverbial Friday – Global Wisdom

Dec 15, 2017Dec 13, 2017 Forestwood

Wise words from our ancestors, passed down from generation to generation. Best savoured a little a time. They may sound trite, the authors are anonymous, and wisdom is surely found within their concise words.

Testimonials – Forestwood Fabrics

The Rosemaling fabric arrived from Spoonflower super quick, I was very impressed! The design size and clarity is amazing. I love the colors too, very vivid!

from Youessbee

I love the Traditional Norwegian Telemark Rosemaling design. My living room/dining room/kitchen are all in Scandinavian motifs, with blue, black, and white as the focal colours. I have various Norwegian and Swedish rosemaling patterns, as well as other Scandinavian objects, decorating the above rooms. This is one more piece to finishing the look. This pattern is truly lovely and perfect in the overall look of the above rooms.

Love the wraparound graphics of the Telemark artwork! Gives your items a very up-to-date feel. My Dad was a master rosemaler, so I really appreciate a great job!

A philosophic Australian writes here at StPA, one who will readily admit to loving Scandinavia. I'm interested in global politics, but scratch the surface and you'll find a practical Environmentalist with an egalitarian bent trying to unleash a little creativity. Scandinavian culture and traditions are close to my heart, though I live in sub-tropical Australia. Travel broadens the mind, so I travel whenever I can. I am an avid reader, enjoy photography and a variety of traditional art forms. You're always welcome to contribute to this community. I do hope you'll find, "Something to Ponder About."
