Does anyone know the fern and stinging nettle trick? I grew up in Seattle, and we had plenty of stinging nettles – and Western Sword ferns. If you get stung by the nettles and rub the fern on the sting, it goes away. I spent a lot of time in the woods when I was young, and a lot of time getting stung. The ferns saved me.
And I’ve liked ferns ever since.
I spotted this fern art at Centsational Girl, and I love the beautiful simplicity of these framed pieces. Kate has a stunning setup featuring the art, but that’s how she rolls (love the greens and blues). You won’t believe how easy these are to create, and you also won’t have to worry about stinging nettles – so the project should be fun. Get the full tutorial here.

LOVED reading about your childhood & the ferns are gorgeous as well as useful. Kate’s set up is in my dream colours. Happy Weekend!
That is the coolest trick ever!!!!
We used to rub Dock leaves on stings from stinging nettles when we were little … seems like an age away now!
