Friday Flickr Five

pink ranunculus from evanston flower shop | simple pretty

Happy Friday! As you can see, I managed to locate some ranunculus at a lovely little flower shop in Evanston. Too far for the impulse buy, but definitely worth a stop whenever I’m in the area. (Gotta check out Dick Blick from time to time.)

On with the Five:

  1. Jonathan
  2. peony_tops
  3. Anemone2
  4. Egret on the move
  5. farm fresh eggs

The schools start Spring Break on Monday. We’re getting a head start on the fun by taking a quick weekend trip, but then will be home for the rest of break. Which means I’ll see you here on Monday! Enjoy the last bits of March …..

The perfect spring tablescape, from Williams-Sonoma. (I made something very similar to this last year, and love it. It’s still on display.)

Cupcake Stand

This Hartland Cupcake Plate (from Simon Pearce) is so elegant. Can’t imagine that any cupcake displayed would be there for longer than, oh, two minutes!

And a quick thank-you to Jordan. I had to pinch myself when I saw my blog mentioned at your site in such terrific company. Thank you! Your parties (and party ideas) continue to amaze and impress.

Visiting John Derian’s website is always inspiring. I am certain that when I visit his stores in May, my eyes will be overwhelmed and I will want everything. Until then, his lovely online shop does the trick.
