My Trip to Arizona Continued

I wanted to follow-up on my trip to Arizona, as I said I would.  Next week it will be back to business as usual.     I promise.  After staying in Scottsdale for the first part of our trip, we rented a car and drove two hours north to Sedona.  We had reservations at the Hilton Sedona Resort & Spa, which defi…

Ode to the Easter Lily

One more day on Easter, if you don't mind.  I always seem to overlook the beautiful Easter Lily until Easter morning when it is too late to run out and purchase one for myself.  Thankfully, I have wonderful kids and kids-in-law and, miraculously, Easter Lilies appear in my home by Easter dinner.  What a thoughtful…

Happy Easter Basket Bouquet

A Boston Flower & Garden Show 2015 Review

My daughter and I decided to go again to the Boston Flower & Garden Show this year, mainly because of the tough winter we have been experiencing.  (I know I have talked about this way too much but, facts are facts.  It has been terrible and we needed a burst of Spring!) After going to the show, I had decided not…

Spring Mini "Terrariums" Continued

I wanted to follow up on my last post, Spring Mini "Terrariums" and show you how the terrariums can be used as beauty and design in your home. I played around with different areas in my home as to where my plant terrariums would look best.  At first, I tried them in my workspace area.  I love the muted…
