Flowers & Friends

What could be better than a day spent amongst flowers with a good friend? On Friday, my dear friend Sharyn Sowell and I spent the day at the Northwest Flower and Garden Show in Seattle. Outside it was a frigid snowy day, inside....spring! Inspiration was everywhere and of course I had to stop and smell every single hyacinth we walked past! Here are just a few of the gorgeous sights....

Dreaming of Paradise....

Along with the bright sun here today came the chilly North wind and I couldn't help but to remember where we were just one month ago...the Kona coast on the gorgeous island of Hawaii....sigh.... My girls and I spent a week there in the warm sun, surrounded by turquoise seas, swaying palms, fresh farmers markets and the most incredible tropical flora.

give me an armful of tropical flowers & I'm in heaven :)

Hawaii Tropical Botanical Gardens....the most amazing garden I've ever seen!

plumeria...one of my most favorite flowers in the world...can you smell it?
AND....Tahitian gardenia, along the roadside on my walk every morning!



glistening waves and fiery sunsets
