Always Celebrating
This past weekend, we celebrated Melayne's upcoming wedding to Drew in my backyard, their engagement session coming up this week on the blog.
Coastal Inspired Ceramic Table Vase
I listen to a weekly design podcast and I recall a designer who said knick knacks should be larger than a cantaloupe or else it looks too cluttered. I do love a bud vase here and there like at the side of a sink, corner of a shower, those small spots. I thought I'd take that little design wisdom and apply it to a vase - because everything in our garden is blooming so beautifully that I love taking them indoors, and the things I can't grow here, like tulips, I buy in armfuls from the store and bring them home!
Swimsuit Season with Yandy
Ahoy mate! In the summers I used to live in a swimsuit. I mean all day, wake up put on...
Check, Mate
I feel picnic ready in this gingham print check dress, like maybe I should be holding my picnic basket instead of my Sancia purse. With the cat's claw in bloom right now I knew I had to snap a quick photo before it disappeared. I missed my pink jasmine because we were too busy so I didn't want to miss this! ...

Balancing Life + Work
I have many things I want to share but sometimes I'm not sure if it warrants a dedicated blog post or just a few bullet points. In this case, there are so many things blowing through my mind I just want to verbal vomit it all LOL but I'll try to do so in an organized manner. Starting the middle of March through now has been blowing by which is terrifying considering ...
Livin’ on the Edge
I'm livin' on the edge, or should I say, livin' in the Ford Edge! Let's start from the who, what, why for this post because you might be have a few questions and I want to talk about how Sanderson Ford is different from the rest - some tips any business owner could take away regarding customer service, and if you so happen to be curious about new cars nowadays (I drive a 2006 Lexus RX so this was like a spaceship for me, LOL), this will be a fun post!
Spring planting
I love fall and spring because the temps mean, time to plant! We got ready for hosting Easter earlier this month and with the patio makeover and the new brickwork around the rose beds I decided to fill them up even more with more foliage. A morning trip to the nursery and some new garden tools thanks to Fiskars and Gilmour, I was so ready to bring some more green babies to our backyard!
