The Costless Wildflower Bouquet

I was riding down my street on my bike this morning and noticed all of the beautiful wildflowers that I was passing. I gathered up a hole bunch and took them back home to make a miniature wildflower bouquet.

 What you need...

-A small cleaned re-used food Jar

- An assortment of local wildflowers

Notice that I added some pop of colour with the bright yellow buttercups. I also used lots of soft purple and red. Then I chose some delicate whites to lighten the mixture...

Next, I gathered up the flowers in a random assortment...

I usually add a small leaf to finish it off.

Then I popped it in the Jar with a little water, so simple...

And that's it! Totally cost free and such a cute little project for spring :) It's looking so cute in my window nook sitting on a little doily.

Enjoy...

Sleepy in Days...

It's one of those days again when it's just too rainy and cold outside to get up. I've taken almost a week of school due to a cold and I'm getting a little home bound. (Ok... pretty much bed bound)

Here are a few of my favourite things to do on rainy days like these...

1. Sleeping in

2. Baking and cooking

3. Writing poems and songs

Little Monday Project...

Seeing as it's Monday, I've decided to share some of my favourite things I've found last week...

Song of the Week

I'm adoring this song!!! It is so sweet and Missy had the perfect voice for it :)

Picture of the Week

This gorgeous pic was taken by my amazing photographer Aunty! Isn't it the cutest...

TV show of the Week

Maybe I am crazy, but for some reason I love this show! I think I've watched nearly 1 and a half seasons on netflix over the past two days. This is almost as worse as the time that I stayed in bed for a whole day finished of a friends season or two on my laptop. Ahhh!! But honestly this is a great show and the whole concept is so creative :)

Hope you enjoyed taking a peek at my week...

Geodora Designs Giveaway

**The winner is Lauren! Check your email!**

Remember Sarah from Geodora Designs? I talked about her shop a while back. She is a truly talented lady, her shop is full of unique and precious jewellery that I absolutely love!!

Hi, I'm Sarah. I'm the creator of Geodora Designs. I love pretty much all forms of art. I grew up in Central Virginia and have been painting, sculpting, and beading since my early teens. I have a deep appreciation for architecture and natural gemstones, and I love to fuse the two together in my jewelry designs at an affordable price. I juggle designing and managing my jewelry store, Geodora Designs, with pursuing a PhD in a biology field. The beauty of nature and biology are also so inspiring in my work. It's important to me to create quality jewelry that will look beautiful on the wearer, and something that I would even love to wear myself. I strongly support the idea of handmade jewelry, because as a designer and jewelry maker, I can carefully check for flaws and ensure perfection as closely as possible before sending out my jewelry to customers. I can also work together with customers to create a design they would like to see. It is a rewarding experience for me to interact with customers to take part in their happiness and enhance their own natural beauty through wearing my designs.
