OPA! Diana gets the ring!

(I stole these from her facebook account) Can I get pics Diana- pretty please? :)
This was the first time I had to work with Stephs and to be honest, they were a hella-lotta work. Perhaps I can coax future brides to use something that doesn't require a miniature holding mechanism.


(isn't she purrrdy?)

what free can buy you

approximately 4 corsages, one lovelier than the next.

though I must admit these were cut from my neighborhood and work garden, so truly, had I been caught, these would have cost $50.

cause that's what a vandalism ticket costs.

munchin' and cleaning up the files

omgomgomg I am bad at relationships.

because it's been about 3 weeks since my last post- I'M SORRRRRY!
but we've had three weddings and two bridal showers and 7 samples in the meantime so I have lots of pics. We also moved in between these 2 weeks so here are a few pics from my beautiful friend Marci's wedding. Thank you for letting me run around with no direction and buckets of flowers (and a flask) it was the bestest.

I will post the rest in the next few days, as we finally have the interwebs hooked up at home. It has been a Jackson 5 type of week.








and this is what we are really like

i love my mom. she does't even complain when i leave crumbs on the table.


btw, these smelled so good in my car i wanted to keep driving

oh to be dating...

I think that's what I miss most about dating. Cute random things like notes and mixed tapes- I mean CD's and stuff like that...Not that Shane isn't awesome (I got the BESTEST necklace and umbrella the other day) but how cute is a 16 year old that gives his lady some stems? ugh, adorable.

For Jake's girl.

You know, I should post a pic of the necklace...


and yes. i know. they are from a camera phone- dammit!

4: I am still in love with the idea of Morrissey singing me this song while I make dinner. Nothing wrong with that at all.

For Mrs. Sherry Goldberg...

I like calling her by her proper name. She's so nice and tiny and musically inclined and really such a lady. I was pretty pumped she asked me to do flowers for a shower since I trust her taste (as much as my own) so here they are- samples for a lovely bride she is "showering".

On another note, I've been a pretty crappy blogger so sorry about that. We've been busy planning and hosting our SECOND Annual 5k for Backbones, the Non-profit Spinal Cord Injury Foundation that we started last year. It was ammmmaaaaaazzzinnnng! such a great turn out. Just, just- perfect.

Here we are- all of our volunteers!

and Vader FTW.

LA via Milwaukee (with a stop in Madison)

Met with such a great couple today- Lilia and Dan! She's as cute as a button at a whopping 5'0" and highly organized and he likes dark beer and amaryllis- my kind of people.

When I found out that they've been dating/engaged long distance for a while now, I felt such a love for them. Shane and I did that for a year and a half while he lived in Cleveland and it was the hardest thing to do.

There is something to say about the romance of airport security lines....







Peonies, CARNATIONS!, Freesia, Sweet Peas, Ranunculus


{reason #214 why love him: cause he uses phrases like
"I'm gonna pull a Liam Neeson!"}
