Wordless Wednesday: Close-up

Wordless Wednesday: Close-up

Already the middle of the week! It’s flying by. So far this week has been pretty nice outside. A little rain on the weekend, a little chilly wind yesterday, but mostly nice. Currently the birds are all singing outside my window and the sunbeams are shining in (which the kitties adore, of course)! I picked a close-up of a tulip from the Flower Show for today’s pic, in anticipation of weather to come! Aren’t the colors pretty!? Share your Wordless Wednesday photos and links in the comments! I’d love to pop in and say hi!

An Irish Blessing

Happy Saint Patrick’s Day, to all the Irish readers out there, including the ones who are only Irish on March 17th! I am going to a nice dinner tonight, so I have my fancy green shirt picked out, my nails are ready to go, and I will likely wear a green bow in my hair as well. Whatever it is you plan on doing to celebrate, I hope you keep this Irish blessing in the back of your mind! It’s a lovely thought not just for today, but for every day. I wish you all happiness!

Philly Flower Show 2015 Recap

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

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

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
