Serotonin has sprung!




April is a funny month because I find myself doing everything I can to get spring in the door. Yesterday, I purchased lemon verbena diffusers for just about every room in my home (so domestic) and a few days before I carried as many pansy trays to my wagon as I could. I needed these. I was hoarding the pansies. Despite some of my desperate attempts for spring, some beautiful spring flowers are popping up and reminding me warm weather isn't far behind.

Weightless Planting

I can't stop admiring these string gardens designed by Fedor van der Valk. I love how the plants are used as a sculptural element. I'm declaring a craft day someday soon to make one of these! Maybe someday my living room will become a string garden.
