Flowers inspire me every day and below are some blooming inspirations that also inspire me. These thoughtful quotes make me slow down and consider how I can apply them in my life.

Read MoreHERB COLLECTION AND A RUSTIC TOOL BOX?
September 01, 2019
White Flower Farm is a favorite catalog and source for many lovely bulbs, flowers, seeds and inspirations. One idea that I was inspired by and wanted to have is an herb collection in a rustic tool box planter. I had seen it on their website, and I kept coming back to it. Finally, I asked for it as a gift and when my husband went to order it, it was ‘Sold Out.’ I waited too long, and I was bumm...
Read MoreFLOWERS INSPIRE ME
June 16, 2019
Flowers inspire me, not only with their inherent beauty, but with all that they have to teach me with their strength, wisdom, joy, and grace. They inspire me by how intricate they are, yet what simplicity and joy they bring to a moment, to life. Each one has a certain vulnerability that I admire, too; a willingness to share something almost personal. Every bloom bears all from being so delicate, a...
Read MorePANTONE COLOR OF THE YEAR 2019
January 27, 2019
Being a photographer, graphic artist and art director, I’m fascinated by and drawn to color. I love lots of color and working with various combinations of it in all areas of my life. So, I have become quite intrigued by the Pantone Color of the Year. This year’s color is coral, and I have found that I’m hard pressed to find Wednesday’s Flowers in this color. So, I became curious about how...
Read MoreONE WORD TO GUIDE ME THROUGH 2019: GRATITUDE
January 13, 2019
For the last couple of years I have picked a word to help guide me throughout the year. (Check out my word for 2017 and words for 2018). I have found that it’s very helpful in my quest on working on being a better person, though I know I still have much to accomplish on this front. This year I have decided that my one word to guide me through 2019 is gratitude. One way I have worked on being gra...

Read MorePETTY AND ANNOYING
November 18, 2018
For some reason of late, I have been over using the word ‘annoying,’ which in turn makes me feel petty and annoying. I’m not sure what started me on it, but I’m not fond of my use of it. Annoying to me is petty and negative, and I would prefer to look at life positively and with gratitude. I believe what is annoying will pass, but what I’m grateful for is everlasting. So that I don’t...
Read MoreFLOWER COLOR GUIDE
November 04, 2018
Darroch and Michael of Putnam & Putnam recently spoke at the New York Botanical Garden (NYBG), and I was fortunate enough to attend. If you haven’t heard of them, they create stunning and elaborate floral designs that you must check out. At the NYBG, they gave a synopsis about how they got started in the business, where they are today, answered questions about floral design and introduced th...
Read MoreMY 300th BLOOM
September 09, 2018
Last week I posted my 300th bloom. It all started one day in August over six years ago. It was, and still is, a simple idea: sharing the beauty and power of flowers. It’s not a physical bouquet of flowers, but it’s a digital flower on Wednesdays shared to brighten your day; to create a connection with nature, as we all are so connected to our computers, tablets and smart phones. I have writte...
Read MoreI HAVE ALWAYS LOVED RAINBOWS
August 12, 2018
I have always loved rainbows. When I was in junior high school, my mom helped me to decorate my bedroom with a rainbow theme. We found the perfect comforter that had a huge rainbow on it. With my mom’s eye for decorating and my rainbow theme, my room was transformed into a bright and joyful place to be. I hope you can take a moment today and celebrate being alive, too. Gratitude and adventure i...
