Lilacs


Out in the yard is a tall lilac tree/bush, and at the tippy-top of the tree (where I couldn't reach them) these beautiful lilacs were blooming. I'd sit on the couch and look out the window longing to pick and sniff them. They were mocking me! This went on for a few days. Then one afternoon, my daughter and I were sitting out on the deck, and I told her about how cruel the lilacs were being. She said that if we worked as a team we might be able to get them. She carefully bent the limbs, I reached up high, and together, I was able to get  my hands on these lovelies. I was thrilled! I've been thoroughly enjoying them ever since. The light shining through them is enchanting, and I have taken countless photos. Here are just a few. You can see why I wanted them so badly, right?

Flowers On A Friday - Wedding Flowers

Sorry, I've been neglecting the ole blog a bit lately. I have been swamped with wedding-flower work. I thought I'd share some show-and-tell. Here are a couple of the bouquets I've been working on.


 Have a nice weekend everybody!

A Bit Distracted

I've been a bit distracted. My sweet little Abby dog is having some sort of "neurological episode". She was running around one minute, she suddenly stopped, and then fell over onto her side. Really scary. After that, her back-end went crazy. When she's able to walk she goes all crooked, and then she falls over. One of her eyes is unresponsive to light. The front half of her seems to work just fine. It's really sad to see this vibrant, playful little dog, in this state. Today, she is having a good day, and I'm feeling hopeful that she will get over this. Unfortunately, her status seems to go up and down. If you would send some good, happy thoughts in Abby's direction I sure would appreciate it.

Flowers On A Friday - Groovy Roses

How amazing are these roses? They are real roses that they somehow dyed rainbow colors. I thought they were plastic, until I got up close to them. Very fun.

Alice In Wonderland - Rock And Roll Bride

Remember a while back, when I told you about an Alice In Wonderland themed wedding that I worked on? Well, that wedding has been featured on the Rock and Roll Bride Blog. There are lots of pictures, if you feel like taking a peek. It is still one of the most fun weddings I've ever worked on.
