Simple and Sweet Flowers

Daffodils in Bloom

Valentine’s Day Centerpiece
I know, conversation hearts are sort of trite as far as Valentine’s decor goes, but they’re also sort of kitschy and cute and so I’m going to use them in my Valentine’s centerpiece! The plus side to this piece is A: Bang for your buck… I mean, a box of hearts costs what, 34 cents?

Autumn Decor
It probably doesn’t shock anyone to learn that I decorate my house seasonally… I assume that most others do the same and if not than I hope this might inspire you to try. I love starting each season with a dining room tablescape. Since we use the big dining room table far less than the

Rustic Country Centerpieces
As a final recap on the Labor Day party, I wanted to show you all the little centerpieces I created and spread throughout the party. My color scheme was all muted tones: burlap table cloths, natural wood, and an all white floral palette made for a sweet atmosphere. I used a mix of small mismatched
