Outdoor Wedding String Lights

May 16, 2012 // 6 Comments

I believe that outdoor wedding string lights are the most romantic detail for an outdoor wedding reception. I just attended a wedding and noticed the sparkle of tiny white lights reflecting in the night. If you going for a dreamy and “fairy tale” look for your wedding reception, be sure to string some on posts and in the trees around the celebration area. They will be sure to enhance your outdoor wedding decorations.

Pink Peonies

May 13, 2012 // 1 Comment

Pink Peonies are my absolute favorite flowers. Their graceful and romantic petals, so soft and pure, reflect the morning sun. What a delight. Happy Mother’s Day to all the Mothers, Grandmothers and soon to be Mothers. Relax, and enjoy the day.

Peonies by Mary Oliver

This morning the green fists of the peonies are getting ready
to break my heart
as the sun rises,
as the sun strokes them with his old, buttery fingers

and they open ---
pools of lace,
white and pink ---
and all day the black ants climb over them, 

boring their deep and mysterious holes
into the curls,
craving the sweet sap,
taking it away

to their dark, underground cities ---
and all day
under the shifty wind,
as in a dance to the great wedding, 

the flowers bend their bright bodies,
and tip their fragrance to the air,
and rise,
their red stems holding

all that dampness and recklessness
gladly and lightly,
and there it is again ---
beauty the brave, the exemplary, 

blazing open.
Do you love this world?
Do you cherish your humble and silky life?
Do you adore the green grass, with its terror beneath? 

Do you also hurry, half-dressed and barefoot, into the garden,
and softly,
and exclaiming of their dearness,
fill your arms with the white and pink flowers, 

with their honeyed heaviness, their lush trembling,
their eagerness
to be wild and perfect for a moment, before they are
nothing, forever?

Office Organization

May 11, 2012 // 3 Comments

If there is one tip I can give you for office organization, it would be that “everything has a place.” Stick to this one rule, and you will be more productive in your day. Enjoy these light and airy office organization photos with loads of bookcases, file cabinets and shelves. Great spaces to keep you organized! I love the baskets and pretty colored file folders. For desk organization ideas, keep it simple, and keep it clean.
