Projects on Display!

This summer in my floral design class we had two major projects that we got to display on campus. My first project was a display that was based on a children's book, I choose Angelina Ballerina of course! I really liked the way that it turned out my arrangement is one of my favorites ever. The second project is my absolute favorite, I had to do a table setting for a wedding that included an arrangement, invitation, place mat and more. I wanted a simple clean design that could be used for an outdoor wedding. I think I may have found my new passion!

Girls Weekend!

Last weekend my mom and sister came up to visit me, we had a great time shopping, eating, laughing, baking, and spending some quality time together. We spent hours downtown wandering around some fabulous shops; Hands art gallery (cool jewelry), Pottery Barn (an all time favorite), Gap (gotta love a flash sale), and many more plus our always needed breaks for treats! I had fresh peaches from farmers market so of course I had to bake a pie, I think it was the best I have ever made! The crust was perfect even a few days later it was still flaky and delish,  however I think the peaches stole the show. I think if you are going to bake or cook anything you need to use the best ingredients available, in other words, go big or go home. We spent a day at the Edna Valley winery, it was unbelievably beautiful with a priceless view of the valley full of vineyards. The BBQ for wine club members was so good, the weather was perfect and although some of us could not taste (me) it was a great day! It was the perfect weekend I love spending time with my girls even though we missed our fearless leader (dad) we may have planned another all girls weekend:)
