Coloriffic...

My favorite color combo of this season has got to be pink and red (an orangey red) together!  There is something rather unexpected about it to me, but it is a pairing that almost always wows me.

What colors are you loving right now?

"The Gardener"

THE INSPIRATION:"The Gardener" by Eleanor Hardwick.

When I discovered the photographic talent of Eleanor Hardwick the other day I was transfixed (can you believe she's only 14)!  This image in particular really grabbed me, and it in turn inspired this post.

I'd love to see this photo translated into a wedding palette, wouldn't you!

1 + 1 = A Simple Gift 2 Give

Try this little idea for Mother's Day or the next time you need a quick gift for your child's teacher, your grandmother, secretary, etc.

1. Use this easy Tissue Paper Flower tutorial from Martha Stewart - adapt the pattern size and colors to compliment your mug.
2. Pick up an artsy coffee mug such as this Lines & Circles Mug from GoodShapeDesign, fill it with tissue paper flowers... and you're done!  Cute, right!
