How wonderful of a creation is the hydrangea?  My grandmother had great, healthy hydrangea bushes lining the back of her home & I always loved the fullness of the bushes and the flowering blooms.  I have loved this flower my entire life and to this day I still consistently have a thing for it.  I love all colors/shades of it, love the irregular rounded shape, the grand size of the leaf, the substantial bouquet a bunch of them presents and most of all love that they last and last and last!  I know some professional florist worry that the flowers are fragile & bruise easily, but I guess ignorance is bliss because I have never really experienced that and I have bought many hydrangeas over the years!

Happy weekend!...

I am taken by the details. End of story. Be it the petal of a flower, the brick pattern at a church, the monogram on a bath towel, a sunrise or the stitch on clothing. Whatever it is I am a sucker for it. I have an immense respect for the people who create details, either solo or as a team. I believe anything that adds beauty to this world is a positive thing and that makes me happy. I am most amazed with the beauty of nature. I am ALWAYS in awe of the breathtaking beauty that surrounds me! Thank you God!

Happy Tuesday!...

And I could not be happier! You could say I'm a fan. I love the cool nights, the new fresh outfits, the flowers, the green everywhere, the April showers, the bird songs, the outdoor weddings and the weather! Not so much the pollen and allergies but it is all worth it to watch all the new beginnings. What an amazing season.

Happy Spring!...

Bam! I love walking into a home and being overwhelmed with an arrangement in the Entry. It is a preview of what is to come and if someone has the saviness to pull it off I know what's to come is most likely going to be good! That being said, it can certainly be a real miss. It is the art of using the space in a way that invites the eye towards the rest of the home and often that is done with a striking piece of art or something that is not three dimensional. What can I say - I just happen to have a weakness for dramatic arrangements that read as art!

Happy President's Day!...
