Flower Power !!!

Well I admit I am not quite the green thumb and sometimes i kill the sweet flowers in our home! The first ones who died on me where some Pansies i got from my husband right after we moved to our first rental. Here's how they were supposed to look like:



Then I received a red Christmas Star or Poinsettia.. but short after the Christmas she died..i don't know if she was supposed to or i just neglected her because of the moving out situation.


Now when i suffered her loss i said i will never buy plants who have flowers.. maybe that's the reason why they keep dieing on me. So we bought a Yucca(or at least i guess that's how it's called). I didn't know much about it, but i know that my best friend had one from her mom and she said then that they were pretty resistant and once they grow up, even if they grow so slow, they become a real tree indeed.. I didn't tend to believe her right then but when i saw this picture i knew she was right:


Hers looks kinda like this big right now:

We got two of these and they're quite healthy so far and still growing:D

I won't mention the bamboo i killed a few weeks ago by over watering it, or the seasonal flowers -tulips, blue-bells and daffodils- that i used to have(the seasonal ones aren't my fault.. they were supposed to last just a mnth or two..which they did). But I am still looking forward for the weather to get more stable here so i can buy some more plants now that i have 3 pots available from the seasonal flowers that died. SO i say bring on the weather I'll bring the bulbs(or seeds/or the plant already grown a little..whichever looks cooler;))

What about you ? Are you guys great with flowers or are you just the disaster i am? Dish the flower dirt!

Glass Love

Well i don't know how about you guys, but when it comes to glass and white ceramic i go 'goo goo' :) I always loved the chic pure look that simple ceramic and simple clear glass gives to any picture, and for this reason every time i find an item that is made of these materials i instantly fall in love with it!

That is what happened to me today. I was out in town with my husband, we were doing grocery shopping and as always we walked to the grocery market, just to maintain our physical condition:P(NOT.. actually our car is in service right now so we are kinda forced to do that.. but no worries soon this will change..hopefully:) anyway we were walking to the store and mistakenly(or not) my favorite thrift store is right in or way. I just asked the husband to get in , just for a peek.. "pleaaaaase!!".. and he endured to make me happy:D

we got in .. and i was oooooooooooo stunned.. i immediately fell in love with this little fellow...



The husband couldn't resist my childish look, so he bought it for me.. only 1.50$.. A steal i tell you:D And if you wonder why these greens are showing off in my 'new' glass vase, it's because of this:



Pretty nice right? I find the pink tulips so pure and sensible and elegant.. and i couldn't resist not stealing a bunch :)(actually we payed for them but is a figure of speech:P but however the husband always buys me some fresh ones every week or two, cause he knows i love them..so i was covered with that one anyway.. oh and plus they are not that expensive... 2$ for a 10 pieces bouquet.. i spread them around the house in different vases and i get a fresh , chic, sophisticated look for the whole week.. we both enjoy it ..so everybody HAPPY:)
Aren't they look gorge' in my 'new' glass vase? Do you guys have any specific materials that make you go crazy every time you see an item made of them? If so, do tell!!!

The Happy Doorway

Ok Guys! Some while back i wanted to share this good one with you..
I've always liked me the Christmas Door Wreaths ... and i know that you can only keep that for Christmas , otherwise you'd kinda look like a lunatic....but putting things all together, i came up with something so cute.. even more cuter than the winter door decor.
I thought that a Christmas wreath of course it's not appropriate for the spring season.. not to mention for the hot summer season.. so instead of keeping that one up, i can come with special wreaths/door decor for each season.. this way I'll keep things interesting and diverse(yeah u can add cheesy too:P)


Well see, i was keeping my eyes on the prize this whole time, so when the winter sale went right on the spot.. i was right there to catch the flash :))
Myself and The Husband, we were out for grocery shopping one day and ,as much as i tried kicking myself in the nuts (just a figure of speech):P, i couldn't keep my eyes off the Decor Store door, so The Husband , after long words to convince him it was the right thing to do, showed mercy on my wet eyes, slightly long figure and trembling lips.. so we got in eventually. "5 min rule" he said.. but rules are made to be cheating on ...so the "5min rule" became more like the "35min rule":D
But The Husband is understanding of me and I love him so much for that!

So after a while in there, i got me some beautiful door decoration after all, and now we can share some spring breeze on our doorway all day ...plus our door looks so much happier now:)

How about you?? what's the deal at your place??

This Spring is White !!!

Lately I've been caught into this whole 'white party'... due to the spring coming into our homes, everything my eyes were melting for was white all the way.. weird i know.. winter it's supposed to be white.. the spring should be green all the way.. no problemo.. but some white never harms..
So I'm craving me for some white fluffy blankets, some new white towels, some white tulips and of course some white ceramic:)

I'm only half way there.. i mean i got my white tulips eventually, I planted them in a white ceramic vase and today they were looking kinda like this..


sweet huh?.. is it feel springy already?.. i guess it does:)

Anywhoodle, do you guys have anything that you're craving for, this spring?!?..
..something to eat, or something to wear, something for the eye or something for the soul.. please do tell!!!!
