Art Deco-Inspired Nails

I don’t know about you, but it doesn’t take much for me to have an excuse to get dressed-up! So when I went to a 1920’s party, I was decked-out in the era from head-to-toe…including my nails.

DIY Photoshoot

My Garden

There is magic in creating something wonderful from nothing. A book comes from a blank piece of paper. A sculpture comes from a lump of clay. And a garden comes from a patch of dirt. When, as a child, I had to let go of my trampoline due to a crippling back condition, I decided to turn the space where …

More Flowers

Just one spring flower post…like just one macaroon…isn’t enough for me. And I couldn’t think of a better dress to wear amongst the blooms than one with flowers painted on it.
