Billy Balls

I've really liked these yellow ball flowers for a long time but I never knew what they were called until my coworker brought some in.  Craspedia or Billy Balls!  I'm off to order some dried ones from Etsy now...

Succulent

I recently had a party in the backyard and got succulents for the table.  They made the decor!  This cuff is a beautiful alternative to a traditional floral bouquet for a bridal party.

Park Avenue perks up after a loooooong winter.

Peak Blooms!

The cherry blossoms were in full bloom on Saturday at the Brooklyn Botanic Garden.  A bit ahead of schedule, but glorious as always.

24 little hours

What a difference a day makes!  Somehow the whole mood of the office was different today!  Everything was less urgent and less stressful.  You could almost feel it return to its formerly paper flowered state when all was right with the world.

In Between

I spent a lovely afternoon at the Brooklyn Botanic Garden yesterday. I was actually a little late for peak cherry blossoms, perfect for daffodils, and a little early for tulips. Thank God it's warm again. Off to Ithaca for the weekend. Back in time to cherry blossoms rather than snow I hope!

Love!

Yesterday the hubbs & I celebrated one year of marriage. It's funny to have people congratulate you on being married for a year; wasn't that the plan? It was fun to look back at different times of the day and remember what we were doing at that point on our wedding day.

BK blooms & bunnies

I got to metabolize vitamin D today, as it actually seemed like Spring. Here are some things I encountered on my journey to the East River. I've given up dessert for lent, so the cupcake is my future reward for a job well done.

SPRUNG!

OK, so it's snowing in Brooklyn on this first day of Spring. But some things have sprung, like the O.P.I. for Sephora Spring palette.

If I had a yard and no budget I'd be all over the White Flower Farm catalog.

One day...

I love this print ad for the Chanel RTW Spring '09 Collection.
It reminds me of...
