Holy cuteness! Cool ways to display spring blooms

I had to share these with you. They're from a company called Chive Home. I discovered them while cyber-slacking. We're in the process of getting our little balcony ready for the summer so I was looking for cute ways to grow and display flowers.

Like 'em? They're on sale at ideeli, in the Home Department, under Chive Home - and range from $14 - $55. What do you think?

Calming and Serene - Start your weekend off beautifully

Just thought I'd share a little peacefulness - it's been a gloomy, hectic week and I hope everyone can find some rest this weekend.

Pretty and delicious

More of my days on the farm so far!

My favorite lunch is tomato, mozzarella, and basil on fresh bread. Rosemary focaccia is my fav, but since we didn't have any I just used Italian bread and sprinkled on some rosemary, course-ground salt, and olive oil. The tomato I was privileged enough to pick just a few minutes prior from my parent's garden. Above was yesterday's lunch.


This photo was inspired by Polly Wreford's STUNNING photo. My mom has a large and ever growing collection of glass bottles that we find in the woods behind one of the soybean fields. Whenever I'm walking back there I pick up a few and bring them back up to the house. They make great and interesting bud vases, and the flower gardens are bursting with zinnias which make for pretty arrangements.

Polly's work of art. You can see more of her work here.

And a close up of my mom's gorgeous zinnias.
