If I could do it again...

This wedding makes me want to get married all over again. Look at that dress! And I love the beautiful green table centerpieces.

spring charms

 

Spring flowers, picnics, walks in the park, sun tanned skin, lovely windy days, flying kites, gardening.

These are just some of my favorite things during these few months of spring. 

What do you enjoy most?

A DIY to create something like this in your home

Really loving this vertical garden on the stairs. If you didn't really have the wall space this would be a great way to add greenery and snaz up those stairs. 

* Note: This vertical garden display was created using wooly pockets. It is not a DIY.

vertical succulent gardens

I definitely want to try to make one of these!

[Etsy Wednesday]

Today kind of became Etsy Wednesday since the last few posts are all items you can find on the wonderful Etsy.com.
Here is another must have that I am drooling over...

How gorgeous is this wrap?! It's something I'd want to wear everyday, all day.
The plumavera wrap from Zelaya's shop.

Plantable tags!

This is brilliant!! This would be a great gift all intself!

100% recycled tags created from gathered junk paper and cut into various shapes. They are triple pressed, dried indoors to preserve their color and hung by hemp string. Different types of seeds are mixed in the process to create lovely plantable gift tags! Great idea for a wedding too : )

hooks and jars

Truly one of a kind!

I am seriously loving these adorable, decorative wall pieces. This would definitely inspire me to keep fresh flowers in the house more often!

Visit OldNewAgain's shop for more : )

head candy

I have to say how much I love this headband. I'm really not big into headbands at all but this is just amazing. Especially because it's called The Peacock. I love deep, rich purples. This would definitely spruce up any outfit that's for sure!

dried flower sculpture

Absolutely in awe of this Craspedia and Copper mobile sculpture made by Kevin Inkawhich.

Haven't heard of craspedia? here ya go...

from seed to flower

I decided to spring from one subject to the next, even if a bit corny, and talk about floral arrangements.

I am, and I'm sure you are, familiar with the "pretty" arrangements that make sense. You know, each flower fits perfectly with the other and..well..it kind of looks perfect (some even seem to have this "grandma-y" feel).

There are times when a "perfect" bouquet goes a long way. Then there are times when you just want to make a statement by branching out. Perhaps there are a couple ways to do this...

I recently received a dozen red roses. Instead of cutting the stems all the same length I broke the dozen up into thirds and cut them different lengths. The lengths aren't too drastic but now when I look at my roses there's a nice height variation among them. Just a little something, you know?

Something else that has stood out are in the pictures below...

 

This gives a "wildflower meets rose" vibe. Not too stuffy but not completely woodsy. 

Using Mason jars (or really any jars) as vases has become a new favorite for me. I recently put a few mum buds into an old jar I had. 

And this lovely thing (as I don't know what else to call it) kind of makes me think "??!!!". It is so strange and outrageous and forward and whimsicle that I can't help but love it (even if it looks like my backyard in a vase).
