Happy Mother's Day!

Sending you flowers on Mother's Day!
We walk by this flowering shrub regularly and the smell is so intense, even from 15 ft. away! It grows in the shade of a big cedar tree right next to an open field of green waving grass- divine! Although I can't give these smells and sights in person I'd like to send them out to you so you can enjoy them for Mother's Day!

Spring Dress

Topshop floral prints

I found the first image while browsing the art collection at the library and was interested to see how this floral print, circa 1580, has seemingly been replicated in modern fashion and design. Mankind/womankind have always loved nature even going to the point of reproducing the flowers that surround them and wearing them as clothing. I know I'd love a floral print dress and a dutch bike with chain guard and cruise across the bridges of Amsterdam (or maybe even NYC...) so cliche but classics never die! The found image of the Pictish tribal woman c.1580 would alone inspire me to wear florals even I had never seen them before! Celebrate the Earth- wear it and get out into it!
