September Showers

One thing my Mom and I have in common is our love and appreciation of beautiful flowers.  My Bridal Shower was this past September and it was put together by my Sister, Best Friends, Mother, and Mother-in-Law….I’m very blessed to have such fabulous women in my life! Amongst other gorgeous details (signature cocktails in mason jars & hand sewn bunting!) were these to die for flower arrangements that my Mom created.

The arrangements really added such a special feel to the day.  Many of the Greens my Mom actually picked from my yard that morning  which really added to that garden look. Flowers included pink Dinner Plate Dahlias, Fall Pee Gee Hydrangea, Roses, Lisianthus, and Red Amaranthus.

A Quiet Day Off

I spent my day off resting in my pj’s and sipping tea from the couch with my laptop and celeb mags. Bowser spent the day Cuddling in his favorite bed.

A Garden Inspired Arrangement

I’ve been sick and house bound this weekend, and my sweet Husband brought me home a variety of blooms from the flower shop yesterday to cheer me up, and  give me something to do!  I made this arrangement with Wedding Centerpieces in mind.  I really like an eclectic, garden inspired arrangement and I think this one would be lovely  at any wedding table from the sweet and simple to polished and elegant.

 

This arrangement is made up of Cream Roses, Baby Hydrangea, bits of Green Dianthus, Seeded Eucalyptus as well as  Spiral Eucalyptus.  I’ve been playing with my Camera more lately and there was beautiful light today.  It’s a resolution of mine (one of many!) to take more pictures  and get more familiar with my SLR Camera this year – I was happy with how these turned out.

West Coast Love

I was in beautiful Seattle this past June staying at the Inn at the Market which is directly across from the famous Pike Place Market, and conveniently next door to the very first Starbucks ever. The views were gorgeous (hello Peugeot sound and Mount Rainier)  But for me,  best of all were the endless rows of gorgeous flowers, and I was in luck! June is after all, peony season! The market was unbelievable – flowers and seafood to die for.

It’s nice to reminisce about those fabulous Summer trips in the middle of January!

A little bit of Sunshine

I put this happy yellow arrangement together not too long ago – it’s nice to have a bright pop of color around the house during these dreary Winter months. A few yellow Sunflowers, Golden Roses, and farm greens was all it took!

I tend to want to stay in and snuggle with blankets, my Husband and pup when Winter rolls around, so I need a little indoor sunshine!
