1:3 :: cockscomb

after posting about it being a zombie's favorite flower...i thought i should let the zombies salivate a bit more. I think it adds a super fun modern flare to a vase arrangement and a great textural element to a bouquet. I couldn't decide between the green or the blue bouquets from theknot so i put them both up. which do you like more?

stuffs : things : rifle paper co recipe boxes

Rifle Paper Co. is one of my favorite places to oogle over stationary! I saw this recipe box on Design*Sponge this morning and HAD to post about it here. I am not really one for recipes, but maybe i would use them more if they were all in a pretty box. or maybe i'd use it as an address book (box). Here's another of their products that is drool-worthy:  

the sweetest botanical card set! i'm also in love with their folk card set, but it is backordered. le sigh.

up : date : where did monday go?!

ack! where did monday go? I think i was still in vacation mode. Speaking of...in the next few days i'll have some fun pics from the Dever Botanical Garden (so beautious!) as well as the bouquets i made day-of for my friend Anna for her wedding! For today, i'll share where monday went...into these drawings for a carnival/circus themed art show coming up. here's a little sneak peak for you to enjoy! (i tried so hard not to have flowers in these...but in the end, i had to collage some in!!)

My mom had 2 vases of beaded flowers that her (i think) great aunt had made. I think one had white daisy type flowers and one had yellow daffodil. i remember being kinda fascinated by them as a kid. i thought these were super sweet!
