Still loving flower crowns?

Still loving flower crowns? I hope so, because I still am! I  love them big and full for the bride who wants a statement piece. Or, small and delicate for a more understated natural look. 

Here are a few pics from a recent spring photo shoot. It was a fun collaboration with the girls over at

In my home - Spring tulips

I am most often drawn to vibrant rich colors, but these pale yellow tulips I just couldn't resist. And the fact that they were a "double tulip" made them even more irresistible. The more they open, the more spectacular they are!

Oh ya, and the silver poodle Marley, he is pretty spectacular too!

Spring Grapevine Wreath

I haven't really experimented much with artificial flowers, but recently a friend asked if I could make her a spring wreath for her front door. Wanting it to be something she could enjoy for years to come, I decided a grapevine wreath with a few flowers, moss and little bird were the answer. This is what I came up with, just in time for Easter!

Spring is in the air!

I was intending to do a longer post tonight but I don't think that's going to happen. My 2 year old has decided to stay up late (due to a late afternoon nap) and is now happily enjoying a piece of bread as I write. As for me, I think it will be early to bed tonight, I'm tired after a busy day of helping my best friend in the garden at her new house.  What fun it was though tearing out all the overgrown branches. It is such a great time of year to be working in the garden. Time to tidy up the yard and eagerly await all that spring has to offer. A few colors have started to arrive in my garden, yellow witch hazel, pink rhododendron, and pale green hellebores!  After having a couple months with no garden flowers in the house I am excited to get snipping. And don't forget, now is the time to bring in some forsythia to force into bloom. 

My little one is finally asleep now, so time for bed fellow flowers lovers. Happy Spring!
