Good Morning my dears! So tell me, did you have a lovely Easter? Me, well I spent this Easter all by my lonesome...and I enjoyed EVERY.SINGLE.MINUTE of it! Don't get me wrong, I love being around people and celebrating. Yet, I am also the type of person that needs some alone time to regroup and recharge...as I like to call it. However, this Easter Sunday was a chance for me to sleep in, chat with my Mom on the phone, do laundry (
goodness, do you love clean sheets as much as me?), take a 2.5 mile walk in the afternoon sunshine, finally had an opportunity to do pilates (
swimsuit season will be here before we know it), ate a shrimp salad for dinner, had a chocolate and vanilla swirl frozen yogurt with chocolate sprinkles (
oh yes, love sprinkles) for dessert, and actually had a chance to get a couple posts done for later this week! All in all, an absolutely lovely day that was stress-free and all about me ;-) Which I think we all need from time to time!
I think I am trying to enjoy whatever free time I get these days as I know starting in May it is going to be work, work, work! Don't get me wrong, I am
over the moon about all of it, and I do get a little break when my sister and her family come for two weeks in July. But other than that, I currently see no end in sight! When I spoke to my Mom this afternoon she asked me when I thought I might be able to get out to Florida for a visit...my answer: December! Oh, it is such a long ways away. I am hoping she might come out to California in the meantime...goodness knows I could sure use some of her amazing sewing skills...hehe ;-)
Anyhoo, I have to tell you that I struggled and struggled with the Flowers of the Week this week. Seems funny to say, but my issue was that I knew exactly what flowers I wanted to post, but thought that you, my dears, would be tired of my LOVE for anything designed by the amazing Kate at
Flowerwild! So I tried to find other flowers that I thought you might like. Yet, none of them felt quite right. But it got me thinking - this blog is all about the things I love and am inspired by, and hopeful when shared with you, you will love and be inspired by them too. I started this blog for one reason - to have a spot for all the fabulous and lovely wedding inspiration that I find or dream up. LCW is sooo me...and if I stay true to me, then I would post the flowers that I originally wanted to post - so that is exactly what I am going to do. I am going to post two bouquets that I am sure you have already seen, but since I am
over the moon about them, I am going to post them anyway. And also because if I don't stay true to me...then who would I be?!?!
So without further ado, just have a look-see at this gorgeousness...
I think I almost fell out of my chair when I saw this first bouquet! Oh the glorious colors, the huge blooms, the softness, the unstructuredness (
I think I just might have made that word up...such a me thing to do that my friends made up there own word for it - a Kristism)...all of it PERFECTION and such a showstopper, no? But the gorgeousness doesn't stop there. Have a look-see at this soft Spring bouquet...
Love the warmth and sweetness of this one. Understated elegance is what this bouquet is! And aren't those tulips spectacular? So you know I have to ask - which one do you like best? I would love to hear ;-)
Stay tuned for another post coming up this morning, and lots more goodness to come later this week! I will meet you back here in a bit.
~ Ciao
