Making Cheap Look Good

I didn't want to post this on my floral blog. But, I had to tell you friends. I went to the flower grower this morning. I got enough flowers to make these 4 arrangements.

One is with flash & one is not. Sorry the lighting is so lame.

I made all this for only $10! I am so proud of myself for spending so little at the coolers & getting so much out of it.

A Child is Born

Flowers for a new little baby girl!

Activity

Moira is almost 4 months old. I finally took some more photos of her this week. She now seems to enjoy laying down, rather than sitting in her bouncy seat. She will enjoy her activity mat for about 15 minutes or so, before freaking out for some special attention.

update: This tummy in the last shot is cracking me up. I love it.

The Professional Ones

Raya, of the Paper Pony, gave me some copies of some of her photos from the Hannah/Kyle wedding last week. I am do glad to have such great shots of the bouquet. Check them out. Great photos make lovely flowers look even lovelier! Thank Raya!

Vintage Styling Under the Redwoods

Hannah & Kyle got married under the central California coast redwood trees today. The same spot where my husband & I got married 5 years ago. It was so fun to be part of another wedding there.

Moss & branches & vintage fabrics were in abundance.

I love the flowers of late summer!

These gorgeous Dahlias were fresh from the most amazing Dahlia farm, just down the road. There, Kevin breeds & grows his own dahlia varieties. If you are ever in the area, arrange to visit the farm. It will not disappoint. The Watsonville area has great flower growers!




Keep your eye on the Paper Pony for better photos. She & Levi Matthew were the photography duo extraordinaire.

Under the Redwoods

I had a wedding job today. Watch for more to come at Eadams Designs.

A Man's Flowers

My photos don't do justice. But, here are my husband's currently blooming orchids. He has more amazing orchid plants, He is nursing them back into blooming season. We love having these beauties in our dining room!

Tea Next Door

Earlier this week, some newish neighbors invited us over for afternoon tea. The kids had a blast. They had their own table, fully equipped with their own tea set & goodies.

Peyton ate mostly whipped cream. You can see after affects here.

We look forward to getting to know Paul & Mary better.
