Uhhh.... hello Spring? Are you there? I have been eager to become one with the earth. I know I sound like a hippy, but that's what a concrete jungle will do to you after five years! Here in Philly it's a bit too soon to start filling my window boxes with jubilant perennials, so I have been tending to my succulents and other indoor plants instead.
These neat Chinoiserie teacups were left behind by one of my previous neighbors. I'm worried that they may have been part of his mother's collection. Yikes! I couldn't bare to see them get chunked by the clean-out crew. Therefore, they have found a happy place in my home as plant containers, and I am quite proud of how they turned out! If anyone can tell me any information about them you will be my new BFF for the day! I have searched the internet and have found nothing!
Like any normal city-slicker in Philadelphia, I head outside the city to Terrain for some much needed inspiration. I am loving the look of these anemones... so much that I have already purchase a bundle of bulbs from Lowe's. I'm wondering if I should start them indoors, or wait until April to plant them like the instructions direct. Where do you go when you need inspiration?
I foresee a beautiful window box in my future.
SPRING MEANS BIRTHDAYS!
Despite the frigid weather, spring is a reminder of new life and celebrations. All of my sisters (I am one of three) have spring birthdays. My younger sister just recently gave birth to yet another spring baby. Well technically it's autumn in New Zealand.
We are so excited to have a new baby in our family! Thank you Brittany and Scott for giving our parents a grandchild... we owe you big time! Like any crazed aunt, I am pinning, tweeting, and yes blogging about any amazing deal or cute baby item that I lay eyes on. One of my favorite places to shop online for great deals is Zulily. These are all items that I have personally purchased for family and friends. I am not getting paid to say this. If you are interested in other online stores, check out the listings on the left of this page.

If you are one of the lucky ones who received one of these gifts, you can vouch for me. Are there any online shops which you love to shop? I'd love to hear your secrets too. In the meantime, I'm going to continue to birthday shop. I have lots of nieces and a nephew too. I'll leave you with this display from the Macy's Flower Show from a recent trip that the hubs and I took to NYC.
