Wildflower Girls

I had a very sweet man come in the other day who was looking for a big beautiful bouquet with no budget in mind. It gets better... he asked for a wildflower look which just made my heart skip a beat. I absolutely love making bouquets with the "wildflower" or "gardeny" look and wish that I had the opportunity to do so more often. It's kind of like when you go into a tattoo shop and ask the artist to do their favorite style of art and you would like to get one of the things they love to draw most. Quite frankly they are going to give it their all because they love what they are doing and they are excited about it. I realize this is kind of a weird comparison because not many of you know that I had previously worked at a tattoo shop for a couple of years. It's kind of neat being able to make a liaison between two completely different industries but I guess that it has more to do with the fact that we are all artists in our own way.

Second Anniversary

This weekend will by my second year anniversary with my sweetheart. He has taught me so much about love, myself and how to live. We are truly two peas in a pod and I am so excited to hopefully spend the rest of my life with him. Yesterday as an anniversary gift we both went out to get matching tattoos. Now I know you might think that getting tattoos about a significant other is a terrible idea but it depends on how you look at it. If by any chance something did happen to us I would never in a million years want to forget about these past two amazing years of my life and how much I have grown as a person. I have had this little mustache drawn out for about a year now for me but we then had to figure something out that would represent me on him. The only thing we could both think about was flowers. So I plopped myself down and drew him a Tudor Rose with the words "True Love" around it. I liked the Rose so much that I decided to get it as well but with the banner "Little Florist" around it so that it wouldn't be just a flower on him it would represent me as an artist and a florist. Et Voila! Here is to another year together!
