My first bouquet of the spring season.

This week contained both the first day of spring and my mother-in-law’s 60th Birthday, so there were plenty of reasons to celebrate. We spent the weekend in Richmond indulging on Birthday cake and eating all kinds of great food. We also made it to the new Wes Anderson movie, The Grand Budapest Hotel, which was worth seeing for the pastries alone. I love spring because I get to ring in another year (my birthday is in a couple of weeks) and it’s the start of patio season which means picnics, wine tasting, rooftops, and generally dining al fresco.

It’s officially Rosé season and this is a gorgeous bottle.

Nothing improves your spirits like an old school carousel. 

My mom always had a gift wrapping box, and this week I started my own complete with fancy tape.

The perfect bag for the farmer’s market from my new favorite sandwich shop.
