Oh, February, if not for your bitter cold and dreary skies, I'd declare you my favorite month! February is kinda special for me. In addition to Chinese New Year and Valentine's Day, it is also my blog's anniversary. I just turned one. And, I also celebrated a "real" birthday.
Actually, my birthday celebration has been postponed as I'm feeling a bit under the February weather. (So I guess I'm not a year older yet, right??)I had planned on a special blog post, but feel too drained from this nasty cold.
Plus, our little Mocha dog has also been really sick. She barely ate in 5 days! Many visits to the vet's office, Mocha is finally homeand doing better.
So when things perk up, I hope to celebrate my blog anniversary with a special giveaway to thank all of you.
Since I like to always end on a positive note, I'll share a beautiful flower arrangement I received from Tom :) The arrangement was made by my friend and talented florist, Ellen Seagraves.![]()

Since I like to always end on a positive note, I'll share a beautiful flower arrangement I received from Tom :) The arrangement was made by my friend and talented florist, Ellen Seagraves.
Here is the stunning arrangement by Ellen Seagraves. Ellen knows my style and favorite colors. She and I have worked together on various projects over thelast 10 years.
Shades of whites, greens and grays are repeated.
Here are white ranunculus, green brunia berries and gardenia leaves.
I love the contrast of textures and shapes: soft dusty millers, compact lime green hydrangeas, wiry tree ferns and glossy gardenia leaves.
Above: white tulips with green eryngium.
Green hanging amaranthus (above) and white roses with silvery white astrantia (below).
