Good morning! Hope you are well and enjoying a nice weekend. We were lucky enough to get away for 5 wonderful and relaxing days and now it’s back to the grind! We have a busy weekend on tap so I am very much looking forward to having a nice relaxing day on Sunday with no agenda whatsoever. We have several containers coming in over the next 2-3 weeks while we simultaneously continue to do our massive warehouse cleanup and making good progress, but it’s a lot<\/em> of work. I am proud of our little team and how far we have come!<\/p>\n

Crazy as it sounds I am already working on our fall collection and you will get to see a sneak peek down below of one of the potential items that I am quite excited about. With the way days are flying by, it will be here before you know it. But for now, I am very ready to enjoy spring and all that comes with it and then of course summer! Onward to my post…..<\/p>\n

1 OUR FRENCH WIRE BASKETS.<\/strong> I am just loving our French wire baskets. They scream spring and are perfect for orchids, topiaries, and fresh flowers. Made this arrangement the other day and must say it ranks as one of my all time faves.<\/p>\n

Flower hack- I realized I didn’t buy enough fresh flowers (it was slim pickings that day) so got two mid sized mixed bunches. Then\u00a0 filled in with our\u00a0 exceptional faux hyacinths, oak leaf hydrangeas and a few of the blush peonies and it was the perfect finishing touch! Click here to see our wire baskets.<\/strong> <\/em><\/a><\/p>\n

Started with a big bouquet of flowers from my local market, it was slim pickings that day, so I was happy I had some of faux on hand to fill in.<\/p>\n

Got the French basket ready and lined it with some moss<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Then took a simple white bowl which was going to be used inside the basket,\u00a0 didn’t have floral tape so used scotch tape and made a “grid” for the flowers to hold themselves like below\"\" \"\"<\/p>\n

Ta dah! Just love this so\u00a0 much…..<\/p>\n

We used it for a fun melamine flower shoot, and just wait till you see how beautiful it came out! We will have our new Hydrangea Garden melamine arrival sale on Tuesday:)<\/p>\n

2 THE POWER OF THE HUMAN SPIRIT <\/strong>This war is hard to not think about. I have curtailed how much TV watching I am allowing myself to do because it was weighing so heavily on me. But the human suffering is always at the forefront of my mind. It is so catastrophic and just hard to wrap my brain around.If there is a silver lining, it is that of Zelensky and his people, my God have you ever seen such brave and proud people? They take the word nationalism to a new level. I am in awe. It is hard however to square that with the apocalyptic scenes that we are witness to every day.<\/p>\n

Then there are the Polish. I am so astounded and inspired by the generosity of the nation and it’s people.I am not sure if you saw this but what a beautiful and moving tribute to the fallen. Let’s all keep these innocent people in our prayers and pray collectively that this massacre ends soon. I don’t know where it will end, but let’s hope the world and the powers that be will not allow this genocide to continue any longer.<\/p>\n

3 INSTAGRAMS OF INTEREST<\/strong> Guess if there is a theme this weekend, it’s flowers. So many gorgeous instagrams to choose from.<\/p>\n

4 HEAVENLY LEMON PARMESAN BRUSSEL SPROUTS SALAD<\/strong> I made this the other week and it was so so good. Healthy, guilt free, super flavorful and as we are finally heading into the warmer months, this is a wonderful recipe to have on hand. You can also use a mandolin to slice up the sprouts. This is filled with flavor, could be a main with added protein like chicken or shrimp or a great healthy side dish for your next alfresco dinner or lunch!<\/p>\n
