It’s a beautiful day today. And I’d like to frolicking in a field of flowers, but I have to work. Therefore, I’ve posted some eye candy for you while you’re sitting at your desk. Happy Floral Friday!

Up, Up, & Away!
Another little confession of mine: I’m 100 percent, truly-madly-deeply in love with hot air balloons, yet I’ve never ridden in one. Why? I don’t actually know. There is something so fairy-tale about drifting into the sky in a big basket being carried upward by a pretty balloon. In fact, one of my favorite blouses is a hot air balloon shirt from Anthropologie – I wore it with my first suit for my final interview with Accenture!
So, I was looking at Oh Happy Day (it’s perfect!), and I saw this balloon-themed photo shoot for a kid’s birthday party. Isn’t it incredible? Click here for step-by-step instructions. Who says you can’t scale it for adults??
Then, I was inspired to search for more balloon themed festivities, and I came across Paiges of Style. It’s amazing.
Paige is an interior designer with impeccable taste. Her daughter had a hot air balloon-themed birthday. It seriously looked like the most perfect day ever! What a lucky little girl – she’s one talented momma.
Fancy Florals
If you haven’t visited the 100 Layer Cake blog before, you are missing out. It is so very whimsical and dreamy. Today, there is a post featuring paper flowers created by Lyndie Dourthe – are they not gorgeous? And the best part? No water required.
I Went to the Woods
Voila, this is the Wandawega Tree House (featured on the The Lettered Cottage) – also known as heaven on earth. For those who know me, I am obsessed with climbing trees. I do it practically every trip that I go on. Perhaps I’ve watched Fern Gully and Avatar too many times because I literally want to live in a tree. I remember sitting in my American Literature class as a junior at Texas and listening to my professor read Thoreau’s Walden, and the words resonated in my soul.
“I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived.”
Isn’t that beautiful?
