30 days of Lists #2

 
30 days of Lists number two is all about my favorite things about the spring. ♥ 

Favorite things about this time of year
  ♥ The awesome smell of everyone in the neighborhood cutting their grass. I love how it just drifts in through the window on a Saturday morning. 
  ♥ Finally getting the motorcycles out after a long winter with an itching feeling to ride them. 
  ♥ All the purple flip flops I can buy! 
  ♥ The Peonies in my flower field bloom and its makes my market customers very happy. : ) 
  ♥ Spring Farmers Market goes outside and it makes me feel like a real street vendor. 
  ♥ Martha's Ice Cream in Lake George opens once again. I live for their pumpkin ice cream with marshmallow fluff topping! 
  ♥ Lake George gets busy again. In the winter tourism dies off and the place is like a ghost town. So even though the traffic sucks in the summer. I would rather see all the business flourishing and people enjoying our great Adirondack town. 
  ♥ Car Shows! I will admit the classic car shows I get dragged to kind of put me to sleep but I am all about those awesome Subaru and street car meets we go to. I can hardly wait for Wicked Big Meet this June. Plus I get to spend lots of quality time with a certain sexy electrician guy. ♥    
 
Today I am figuring out my new Bamboo Tablet so I can sketch out some wedding flower photo shoots I have coming up this summer. Keeping me company is Mya the wonderpup! 
 



Have a lovely day!

Blue Diamond Orchid

 
  I hope everyone had a great mothers day! I sold soap all day at the farmers market and had about a million and one customers ask when my cut flower bouquets would be back in the stand. I am counting the days until things start blooming and there is life on the farm again. 
   
Speaking of flowers I came home to this blue beauty the other night. I knew right away it was a Blue Diamond Orchid. When I was in college getting my Floriculture degree our class went on a trip to the Plainview Growers Facility in New Jersey where these amazing orchids are produced. They have a team of Taiwan Orchid experts that grow them. All I remember is being blown away when I walked into a greenhouse that was probably acres long and seeing a sea of these sexy blue guys. 
 
I know posting this I might run the risk of having fellow florists and cut flower growers shun me for thinking these are cool but oh well. They need to understand that times are a changing and the fact is a lot of younger people are attracted to bright colors. If the floral industry wants to continue to get Gen Y business then brightly colored flowers such as Gerber Daisies, Neon Daisies and Blue Orchids will need to be available. 


Of course I adore traditional flowers obviously because I grow over five acres of them a year! All I'm saying is that there is a place for brightly produced flowers in the market. 


When my girlfriends were over last night, as soon as they spotted this blue diamond orchid on my dinning room table they freaked out and started taking cell phone pics and saying they wanted one also. Sooo there you go. Proof that Gen Y loves flowers. I also felt like the luckiest girl being able to say the electrician dude randomly surprised me with one. When I asked him why he got me this instead of the usual stems he gets for me on his way home from work he said "I don't know this just caught my eye. Something different." ♥ 

♥

Unfortunately the next time this blooms the flowers will be white not blue but I also happen to love white orchids so it's all good! : D 

It's supposed to be a rainy day so I will be a busy little bee in the soap studio all day. 

Have a lovely day!!

Purple Super Hero

   
First purple outfit post. Chicka chicka yeah! This breezy shirt has a little cape in the back and it makes me feel like a purple super hero. So I thought it was very fitting to wear with all the Avengers chatter. 

   

Speaking of, Avengers was beyond awesome by the way. So much witty dialogue! The electrician dude and I both thoroughly enjoyed it. I heard on the radio during my morning flower deliveries that since Avengers did so well they have given the green light to start filming things like Thor 2, Captain America 2, Avengers 2 and they were already filming Iron Man 3 but I think now it will get even more hype. This makes the electrician dude thrilled considering he is a huge Marvel fan. 
 
   
Got my hair back to the dark purple shade I love so much. I mixed so many purple dye brands to get this ultra violet. It will brighten to a more lighter easier to see purple in a few days. I’m just glad to have it back! 

   

Outfit: 
Cape Shirt : Forever 21 
Purple Shorts: Forever 21 
Tank Top: American Eagle 
Shoes: Target 

I hope your having a lovely day! ♥

Favorite Commercial

Every time this commercial plays on TV I get super excited. That is the snazziest closet ever! The fact that it's monochromatic makes it even better. If all the clothes were purple and I had an awesome leather suit like that then it would be describing my life, since I already have an awesome motorcycle! ♥


Up early and off to work in the soap studio all day!


Have a lovely day. : )

Summer Coach Bag

Finally got this Coach bag I have had my eye on for a while. When I spotted it a few weeks ago and saw all the amazing purple-ness and the sparkly flower I knew it was love at first site! 



I already have a dark purple all leather Coach bag with a bow but I thought this would be the perfect addition to my summer wardrobe. Those canvas straps just give off a summer beach vibe. 



Already planning all the outfits I can put with it. While I was out I also got some cute stuff at Forever 21 & Target. Outfit Post to come soon! : ) 


 




The electrician dude and I are having way to much fun with this LCD writing tablet I picked up at Staples. He has a way different schedule than me and by the time I get up he is already at work and by the time he gets home I am still in class so we have been having fun writing little messages to each other. Great purchase plus its just plain fun to write on! 


Have a lovely day!
