i heart flowers!

this year for valentine’s day, brian sent flowers. it was the most wonderful surprise!

and all week i’ve been enjoying this gorgeous bouquet. i move them from the kitchen to beside my bed each night, just so i can wake up to the sweet smell of hyacinth. every time i walk past them, i smile.

i feel like the luckiest girl in the world!

and it all got me thinking…if these flowers make me this happy, just walking by them and smelling them each day, then i really should buy flowers for myself and have them around more often!

it’s really all about the little things.

………………………

i hope you had a lovely valentine’s day too! have the most wonderful weekend! and be sure to buy yourself flowers! xoxo

ps. i’ve been pinning lots of color inspirations to my Lovely Color Collections board on pinterest.

pps. i’ve been painting like crazy (that little heart ribbon even made it into a piece). i will have lots and lots of new artwork to share with you next week! best wishes!

12 Things That Are Inspiring Me

“Nothing is impossible, the word itself says ‘I’m possible’!” -Audrey Hepburn ………. I love to take photo walks, especially through places I have never been. I’ve gotten in the habit of taking myself on field trips where I get out of the studio and go someplace new and explore. Snapping photos in those places is so inspiring and really keeps me looking and being inspired... Continue reading

New York City

In celebration of the launch of my new blog and website, Brian and I took a little trip to New York City. Travelling is one of the ways I stay inspired. And New York City did not disappoint.

What a beautiful surprise from your sweet guy!! I love having flowers in the house, too! I bought some beautiful yellow tulips the other week and have been amazed at how they have grown so tall as their blooms blossom more and more each day. In an upcoming blog post I share about them and how they have made me SMILE each day I pass by them. I am loving the pretty flowers that are blooming in our yard right now…always makes me happy to see a new spot of color brightening up my day!! Big hugs to you, sweet friend…you have added such sunshine to my week again!!
