Baby shower flowers and a bunch of roses from a sweet husband to his lovely wife...

This weekend was nuts...busy, busy, busy.  Valentine's Day, my husband's birthday, a night out with friends, friends over for dinner and a trip to Portland.  I find I can actually get more done when I'm busy than when I'm not.  Does that make sense?  Also, why is that?  Do we manage our time better when we know we a lot on our plate?


Looking forward to a mellow week where I can actually get some laundry done.


Enjoy the above arrangements...the lavender mums and roses were for a Baby shower (the nursery is lavender, cream and brown...love that combo) and the pink roses were for an AMAZING woman from her thoughtful husband.

Valentine's Day

do you love it?  do you love to hate it?  I used to think it was such a useless holiday made up to sell cheap chocolates and greeting cards but I've changed my mind.

I think it's a sweet day given over completely to telling those you love that you LOVE them!  It doesn't have to be limited to lover..it could be a friend, family member, teacher, neighbor, your dog... and it can be done with a kind word, a handmade note or baked goods.  For me it has become a day of creativity...making bouquets for people from people who love them.  What could be any better?!
