Some pretty things.






We switched our blogging regular updates to HERE, but thought it might be nice to follow up here every now & then. It's been a real whirlwind around here with spring's arrival, my favorite season for flowers. Boronia, frittilaria, ranunculus, peonies, sweet little allium buds, viburnum and all these amazing little blooms... just outstanding! So here are a few of our favorites from the past few weeks.

Lots more coming soon.

Oh, what a week! Moved into the new apartment, friends and family visiting from out of town, the first day of spring on a snowy day, and a wedding too! I still don't have the internet at home, so as I sip on a beverage I am updating from down the block. Our new apartment is quite frankly.., probably better than yours. ;) Well, maybe not but it's pretty d**n awesome. I keep moving from room to room thinking, "This room rules.., it's my favorite!" Then I walk into another room, and say to myself, "Hmm.., I love this room. Maybe this is my favorite!" In any case, we love it and love decorating and debating where Davey will hang his Cure poster and where I will hang my Baltic Tapestries (I don't actually have them, yet. But I'm working on it). Good thing we both have a good sense of humor.

This is an image of a bouquet I made for our kitchen in one of the glorious milk glass vases I boast about. It is filled with peonies (one of my three favs), fritillaria (That looks like a ska kind of thing), olive branches, dogwood (!!!), and anemones.., of course!

Also, a beautiful bouquet and centerpiece for Alizah whose wedding was yesterday on the world's gloomiest first day of spring! Peach finesse roses, anemones, begonia foliage (Cut from one of my house plants), scrub ivy, peonies, ranunculus.., oh, it's like a springtime orgasm! Eep! :)

Christine and Tyler





I don't have the professional pictures up just yet, but here are some of ours. Christine and Tyler were married last weekend at the Chicago History Museum. Her bouquet was so full and lush, filled with dahlias, succulents, hydrangea, viburnum and ranunculus. The boutonnieres were created with dahlias buds and root hydrangea. Last minute I added in a miniature succulent into Tyler's because it was so cute and perfectly matched Christine. Event planning was coordinated by Greatest Expectations.

details, details details.





It has been so terribly cold in the city the last few days! I'm fortunate to be around so much beauty in the storefront to help me forget that Jack Frost is only here for a little while longer. These are just a few detail shots of some items that we have that keep me gushing. Their simplicity ranges from architectural shapes to romantic curls.
