lets all wear flowers // in the hair

i am a huge fan of using jasmine vine for little flower headbands because it is so beautiful and it bends quite nicely, making it easy to wrap around the head. here i used jasmine vine as the base for the headband and then wired on a few pops of color, using poppies and anemones. first i took a few pieces of jasmine vine and attached them, using a very thin wire, to make one long stem, and then wrapped them around my head to create the base. i then wired a few flowers to the jasmine vine. and just like that you have a super cute and simple flower headband, perfect for any festival or evening in the park.

the weekend

had a wonderful weekend at the beach with my hubby and my puppy. 

poppies + kitties

found the poppies at the market yesterday, and the kitties at the window enjoying the sunshine this morning.

puppy love

say hello to the newest member of our family...huckleberry (huck for short)

flowers around

i picked up these beauties last weekend at the farmers market.  i brought them home, cut and arranged them and then let my kitties get a good smell of them, snaped a few pictures of them radiating in the sun, before bringing them in the house to sit on my kitchen table.  i love love love all the deep dark colors of fall in the arrangement.

crazy

my life has been so crazy lately... but that's what makes it fun right? i don't know, i could use a little non-crazy time here soon!  we just moved into a new house! (big back yard with lots of room for my kitties to run around in and a big garden for next year).  i've had lovely weddings almost every weekend and am preparing for another this weekend! here is a little inspirational peak into this weekend's wedding... and here is me saying sorry that i have been to busy to blog lately... i will catch you up on all the weddings i've done soon.

it's going to be a bright, colorful and a little exotic affair.

i'm addicted

it's true.  i have a problem.  i am addicted to buying flowers.  i buy flowers for my home before i buy groceries for my husband.  we may not have money to go out and watch a movie on date night, but at least my house is full of color. anyone else have the same problem as i do? here are the flowers you would see in my house today.

tulips, ranunculus and wax flower... and one of my beautiful cats, tips.

much love monday

today and every day, i love my hubby and my two little fur balls. happy valentines day.

much love monday

So lately I have been feeling uninspired. Not sure why, but i decided that in order to get inspired i better start doing things that bring about inspiration, like blogging. Much love monday is an easy way to get going. Thank you to anna over at much love for this awesome way to share with the blogging community about what i am loving... So today i am loving my new smart phone and this retro camera application, and my beautiful kitties that make me oh-so-happy all the time! Here is to a beautiful day!
