St. Patrick’s Day Nail Art Design: Plaid & Shamrocks

Tomorrow is Saint Patrick’s Day (and today is my baby cat’s 10th birthday!) I recently saw a really cute design by CutePolish on YouTube (one of my favorite channels!) where she showed a design called “Lucky Green Plaid Nails.” I really liked it for the upcoming holiday, so I made a few changes and came up with my own similar design, inspired by hers!

Philly Flower Show 2015 Recap

As you know, last week the Husband and I went on our annual date to the Philadelphia Flower Show! It’s my favorite event of the year. It happened to be a crazy snowstorm that day, so it was basically empty, which meant we were able to take our time and examine pretty much every inch of it without crowds pushing us out of the way or a hundred people ruining each photo. The theme was “Celebrating The Movies” and it was wonderful. Continue reading Philly Flower Show 2015 Recap

Wordless Wednesday: Butterfly

I’m slowly getting better at this “Wordless Wednesday” thing, and trying REALLY hard to not post a ton of WORDS with it! This shot was taken last week at the Flower Show. A full recap post is coming up with tons of pics of gorgeous floral displays, flower closeups and more butterflies, but I had to share this one early. This beauty fluttered over in the “Butterfly Experience” tent and landed right on my sweater. She looks like she belongs, doesn’t she?

My Etsy Picks: Gettin’ Lucky

Fun Fact: While a week from today is Saint Patrick’s Day, a week from yesterday is my kitty’s birthday! Lucky turns the big 1-0 on Monday, March 16th! He was born mid-March and is a natural red-head, so he’s obviously Irish. But that is just part of why his name is Lucky! He was actually named something else entirely (Sandy) when I adopted him, and I promptly renamed him something else (Murphy), but that just didn’t seem right. After a month of having him, I picked him up out of my dresser (he liked to sleep in the drawers) and he kept playing with the four-leaf clover necklace I had around my neck. He was obsessed! I called him my Lucky bear and it stuck. He was fated to have the name! Continue reading My Etsy Picks: Gettin’ Lucky

Nail Art Design: Flower Show 2015

Last week was the Philly Flower Show, my favorite event of the year! I had grand plans of doing a fancy ombré look on my nails, but it was just NOT working out! Then I thought I’d make these tiny roses I made once before but my white polish got all sticky over time and didn’t work out either. Instead, I made little flowers that are super textured and abstract-y, which came out pretty cute for the Flower Show! Continue reading Nail Art Design: Flower Show 2015
