Garden Party

Garden party anyone? I'm loving all the floral inspired trends as of late and picked a few of my favorites. All of those shown below can be found at the beloved Anthropologie. This theme could be used for anything - bridal luncheon, baby shower, tea party birthday, or just an excuse to get together with your best girlfriends and get all dolled up. So many prints and bright colors, oh la la I'm in heaven!

April Showers Bring May Flowers

This is inarguably the most gorgeous time of year in Charleston. Almost every house is overflowing in beautiful, bountiful blooms from shabby chic window boxes. Take a stroll down Tradd St. and you will soon be inspired by this floral adornment. Alas, this weekend was the perfect opportunity to do a little "apartment gardening" of my own*. For the first time in over a year (not.even.kidding), I had the weekend all to myself. ahh, bliss. It was absolutely wonderful and just what I needed. Plenty of time to escape, enjoy the flowers and do some sewing :)

*my new buds pictured above. those in the birdcage...why yes, I planted them in an old mixing bowl. how delightful.
