Happy May Day!
May 1, 2013
May is here! The best month of the year – hands. down.
Why you may ask? Well, it may have something to do with the fact that this is my birth month!
Besides a ‘party time!’ background as a nod to my birthday, I’ve also been really into growing things lately so something ‘planty’ seemed appropriate. Enjoy!

Etsy: Leah Duncan

I seem to have written about Leah Duncan once a year since this blog began and thought her shop would be great to feature today. I don’t think I need to convince you to like Leah’s work. I truly enjoy it all. You’ll find a wide variety of items for sale including tea towels, prints, pillows, cards and even scarves.
Heads up people, my birthday is in May!

March Snapshots
April 3, 2013
The month of March can be defined by the words plants and wedding.
Spring has sprung in Arizona and I am enjoying seeing some of my own plants and seedlings grow as well as the beautiful blooms outside. I took a few days to head back to New York for my sister’s wedding too. It was such a great time seeing so many family and friends.
As always – these are through my insta-lens.
And, I used one of this month’s images for the iPhone backgrounds too!

Macrame Hanging Planter
April 2, 2013
One of my oldest pins is for macrame hanging planters. The project seemed really simple to do but it took me a few years until I actually got around to making one!
My poor plant looks a bit ragged but it was a gift from my momma and it does keep growing leaves so I wanted to try and keep it around. I only have one window ledge for plants in my apartment and I was getting nervous that the poor guy was not liking the cold window during the winter. Solution — craft up a macrame hanging planter to hang it further from the window so it can still receive sunlight but not be so cold.
I had a good amount of rope laying around and a hook I screwed into my ceiling so it was a no cost project for me. The instructions were easy to follow and I definitely see myself making more and different variations in the future!
SPRING

Spring has sprung here in Phoenix and I thought it was only fair to share the flowery love!
