Finishing touches.

I bought myself some tulips last week to celebrate the rising temperatures. Tulips alway remind me of spring. When I was 18, I went to Paris with my grandma and cousin in March. We bought tulips from a little market to decorate our apartment. They alway bring such beautiful memories.

I also finally put up these little treasures above our stove. The Chinese calender is from a place right down the street from Rudy and I, and it came with our takeout one night. The round tin plate has a drawing of California on it with little illustrations for each city or landmark. I got it at a huge antiques sale in Worthington this summer. I love the poppies on it, they always remind me of home. Lastly, the little tin rooster came in a Christmas package from my mom, and was meant to be an ornament, but I love it too much to only have it out for one month of the year.

Oh, Peonies.

These floral arrangements from Brooklyn based Saipua has me wanting a big garden of lovelies to pick from and take inside.

They also make me want to do floral arrangements. Going to the big wholesale flower market in the morning is so amazing, I would love to do it everyday!

Small Stump.

I have decided that I could use some more flowers in my life.

All of these arrangements are done by Studio Choo.

The lovely ladies of the shop also contribute regularly to the blog-extraordinare, Design*Sponge. You can find all of their posts here.

Goodbye Party Flowers

This is an old shot of some of the flowers from Rudy and my goodbye party.
I love the combination of the soft pink gray flowers next to the papery brighter ones.
