peony love.

peonies are hands-down my favorite flower. as you may have noticed in my last post, i wore one in my hair on my wedding day, and they were in my bouquet, on our cake and in flower arrangements. so naturally they create nostalgia for me. i get ridiculously giddy when i have my first peony sighting each spring. if you don't have them growing in your yard (which i fully intend on once we have our own place) fresh-cute peonies are not so easy to come across (at least among these parts). so you can imagine my delight when i spotted them in multiple shades of pink at our local whole foods market (which, by the way, i am now kind of obsessed with, considering i have just switched to a whole foods diet).

(wow, i use way too many parentheses. but it totally makes sense, because if you know me in real life, you know that when i talk, i often go off on tangents, or cause the person who i am talking to go off on tangents).

moving on. since i got my iPhone, i have become rather lazy with my photo taking, but i thought these flowers deserved some love from my DLSR (which by the way, i really still have little clue on how to use).

hope you enjoy :)

my very first treasury

SO, i was finally able to create my own treasury on Etsy! i happened to be on there just at the right time, yay. it is inspired by my favorite flower - the peony {see last post}. you should probably check it out --->

P is for Peonies.

I absolutely ADORE peonies. They are so lush and so lovely. And very romantic. This is why I chose them as our primary wedding flower. I even wore one in my hair on our wedding day :)



My neighbor was kind enough to let me snip a couple of peonies from her peony bush the other day and, of course, I had to take some pictures. I just love photographing flowers.







Every time I look at them I smile. It is so unfortunate they bloom so briefly ever year.. I am so glad our wedding just so happened to be during peony season. :)


My obsession with peonies inspired me to do a little search on Etsy, and I found some beautiful things. I am hoping to create a treasury with these lovelies.
