I know a post on rings is slightly off topic for a flower blog, but this post is not really not about the rings (even though there are some amazing rings in these photos)…this post is really about the incredibly creative photography (which is also off topic for a flower blog, I suppose). I’m in awe of the photographers mentioned in this post. Please visit their websites if you have time…you’ll love them!

Back to flowers tomorrow, I promise…

 

  

  

    

 

summer straw hats

Some days I get so terribly excited about my finds that I race home as quickly as can be just to share my delight with you. I'll run in the house, pet the puppy and dart back to my room for the camera. Today was definitely one of those days.

After a lovely morning of running errands, (indeed errand running can be pleasant!) I met up with a friend for a delicious breakfast for lunch over at the Deception Pass Cafe followed by a visit over to my friend's farm in Skagit. So close to Mt. Vernon, I had to stop by just one thrift store. Lo and behold, several summer straw hats were waiting for me, practically begging to be taken home. How could I refuse such a request? Done and done and off I was back home, hands filled with yummy leftovers, a pallet of starter plants from the farm and a few cute hats for the shop. Not a bad day.

Now a little more editing and you'll find these 1950s lovelies up in the shop!

I'm in deep admiration of the milliner who crafted these details. They couldn't be any sweeter.

I wrote today’s post with Alyssa in mind…she commented last week about how she’s drawn to arrangements in Ball jars because it reminds her of watching her dad canning jelly and jam when she was growing up. Sweet memories…

Have you or will you incorporate an element in your wedding or party based on a fond memory? Would love to hear about it!

Welcome to another HOT week…at least here in Texas. So glad you visited the Brouhaha today!

 

 

 

kling summer 2010

Wandering through the delicious site that is the Dujour blog, I came across the Kling Summer 2010 collection and was instantly smitten. The muted tones, delicate nature of the photos and feminine frocks lured me entirely and left me longing for my girlfriends back home.
