dear diary.

“fear is a slinking cat i find beneath the lilacs of my mind.”
sophie tunnell

O-fficially one of my favorite days of spring...THE LILACS HAVE OPENED! i rushed out before the rain set in to pluck a branch for my room, for my sanity really. lilacs are my happy place, their perfume and plum stained petals bring me back to spring days spent in vermont farmhouses with the windows open and afternoons laying on quilts with best friends. it was bennington where i learned that sometimes picking flowers is enough, sometimes just sitting with your chosen family and letting the minutes pass is all there is. it is may and more than any other time of year, i miss my sweet family, how i wish you were just a walk away.

a little song for my lovelies ejk, sv, dw, am ~

killer.

well, now i have your attention! that's what i thought when i saw this and then when i clicked through...it got even BETTER!

it's a bouquet.
wow. this is JUST top, top, top! (to quote jaime oliver) this faster pussycat kill! kill! lunch box comes filled with a dozen roses & 6 mini gerber daisies, how cool? i know someone (ok, sera, it's you!) that would appreciate this WAY more than tulips, plain roses or a frickin' orchid (mine is doing much better for you concerned regulars!). shipping on these charming fleurs is tricky so check out hunter moon design's profile for info.
