Floral Fridays: Tulip Love

Week two of my Floral Arranging 101 with Nicole’s Classes has come and gone, and the homework assignment was to create a wild English garden arrangement. Our instructor’s example (see top photo) is literally to die for. I want her talent! Like I said last week, the local Durango flower and vase options are very limited, so I couldn’t produce as fancy an arrangement; however, I chose a bold colored tulip as my focal flower and ran with it.

I absolutely adore tulips (second favorite, to peonies, and runner-up to garden roses). I dug into my wedding pinboards and found some of my favorite tulip bouquets and arrangements. They also make for the perfect desk decoration – I’ll be sharing my favorite office spaces next week! I can’t wait.

Lastly, the winner of the BABYBJÖRN Carrier We giveaway is Vanessa W. Congratulations! Make sure you enter the BabyLit giveaway by midnight tonight and use code ‘Isla’ to receive 40% off at BabyLit.com. Have a wonderful weekend!

Off To Minneapolis

Sasha and I are heading to the Land of 10,000 Lakes (i.e. Minneapolis, Minnesota) today to visit one of his best friends who moved there a few years ago for work. It’s also the city where my sister’s husband, Carl, grew up, and I’ve heard so many amazing things about this gorgeous outdoorsy place. There has been a countdown for this trip! I cannot wait to see his friend’s two girls for the first time and also to go to Amaluna, one of Cirque’s new shows. It is about  a mysterious land governed by goddesses. It’s a love story between the queen’s daughter and a young suitor. You can watch a preview here. So excited! Have a wonderful weekend.
