Floral Potholes

If you’ve ever lived somewhere where snow is on the ground for much of the winter, you know what havoc it wreaks on the roads. Potholes are plentiful and enough to make a person (me) crazy! I guess I’d still be inclined to steer & dodge these too, but wouldn’t this be so much more pleasant?

Thanks for calling artist Pete Dungey to my attention Jo! I might just have to plant-up the potholes up and down my street when I’m certain of the official thaw.

Shame on me for missing a Valentine’s Day post!

I LOVE Valentine’s Day! Go figure!

I desperately wanted to both give and receive this sweet valentine.

Spent Valentine’s Day weekend with my Special Sweetie in New York so neither happened. Instead we strolled around the city, enjoyed the sights & spent time with friends. It was wonderful!

Holiday Loveliness in a Bowl

Remember when I said that I was going to replicate the seasonal arrangement in the post below?

I did. It was more vibrant in color, substituted autumn leaves for pine boughs & put it in a bowl instead of a vintage canister. I did use pears. Also pretty, but different.

Remember when I used to post more regularly on this blog?

Yes, Design Sponge has inspired me again! I hope to replicate this next weekend for a holiday get together.

Soft & Romantic Fall Wedding Inspiration

I’m a stickler when it comes to adhering to seasonal themes, colors, elements, but have never been a big fan of autumnal oranges. Style Me Pretty has featured this slightly unconventional fall table setting & I’m in love.

Jenny Steffens of Occaisions by Jenny has even given some DIY tips.

Streets of Stockholm

Each Fall we like to make a little day trip over to Stockholm, WI on Pepin Lake. Each year our timing is just a little off or the weather doesn’t quite cooperate. Though we’re well past peak fall color we decided to make the trip to celebrate the unseasonably warm November weather. I was ever so grateful for the gorgeous blue skies and temps that allowed me to be bare legged in my skirt but overall the landscape was already pretty brown & gray. While we walked the sidewalks of this quaint little town eating our swedish donuts I was excited to see a few pops of color.

Post Halloween Post

Though it’s the day after Halloween & a little less timely, I found some good links via Design Sponge today.

Terror-iums

I made a much more gentle terrarium last year around valentines day. Substitute carnivorous plants for cute little mushrooms. They really are fun & easy to maintain. In fact, now is the first time that mine seems to require a little moisture as it’s getting kind of dry. (note to self: remember to do that today).

Here’s the one that I made:

And Saipua

Not only do they make gorgeous arrangements, they also make olive oil soaps that you may have seen in small boutiques such as these in MN.
