this is why I plant flowers...


The kids love to surprise me with little bouquets as soon as they see a flower arrive in the garden...

Max and I picked these peonies together when they were in bloom.



Hannah does this the most...




she loves to pick them and arrange them, who knows maybe we have a florist in the family?



todays pick was the few hydrangea blooms and some lavender


she picks the vase too
I love this old silver hotel pitcher and she knows it!



After she has finished arranging them, she finds me and
says "look what I picked for you"

blessed I tell you.

gotta run, I have to work in a few minutes and I haven't even put on my face yet!

can't be scaring away the customers!

Happy Thursday!

love,
Theresa xoxo

  7. Does she take orders? The bitty one is always picking me flowers but she doesn't have the knack like Hannah. What a lovely thing for the kids to do for you!

  11. Hey Theresa -- love that big necklace you made for Danielle's friend. I almost bought something similar but much simpler while in Nepal -- a new shop opened in a new complex near our hotel and I was the first customer.

    Those flowers are absolutely gorgeous! We certainly enjoyed nature and being outdoors while in Nepal. Now it is back to heat and dust and everything dying off because of the heat. :/

    Hope you are having a great weekend. Tammy

  12. Peonies are my favorite! They have such a short season though and I can no longer find them in the city.

    Thank you so very much for the AMAZING comment you left me! I love hearing how the project has inspired others and it's a wonderful motivator for me. congrats on having such a beautiful family and I can't wait to see what the future holds for you all.
