Whenever I go to the MET...

Whenever I get the chance to head to NYC and visit the Metropolitan Museum of Art, one of my favorite permanent exhibits is the Greek and Roman Art. Every piece of jewelry is a jaw-droppingly beautiful, finely detailed, piece of art. I went a couple weeks ago and took a few photos of these botanical pieces. If you get the chance, the Alexander McQueen Exhibit is there at the moment and is absolutely stunning. What a talent he was.

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.

Someone is still tired from the weekend...

Arrangement for Spring..

I am madly in love with anemones... They are so romantic and chic looking to me! They are in season starting in the fall through early spring. Things have been busy around here this week. I'm packing up and moving into a new apartment. Packing has been a ton of work, but I'm seeing the light at the end of the tunnel :) Tomorrow I'm waking up early and heading to Boston to pick up some flowers for a wedding this weekend! Can't wait! Goodnight, sweet dreams....

Flowers for Spring...

Some gorgeous flowers for an arrangement I'm putting together....

Advanced Style

I had to put this up because I've watched it 10 times today and it makes me smile every time. I read an article about Iris Apfel (huge glasses) about a year ago and how she was becoming this style icon so late in life. I fell in love with her. It's a part of fashion we don't see often and it's pretty inspiring really. I can't wait to be old :)
