I dream of the day when we’ll have enough lilacs to create a lilac ‘hat’ for my Grecian lady bust/vase. She makes the most beautiful statement piece in any setup, and would look gorgeous on a mantel along with her ‘older sister’. She fits my needs perfectly, and when she’s not in use as a vase, I like to have her sitting along with a little collection of my favorite things on my left bedside table. I also picked up a honeycomb vase that is a much larger piece that I plan on using as a centerpiece either at some point this summer or next spring. The details are just beautiful, and given our love for all things bee related, I know we’ll get a lot of use out of it.
Our fern garden is looking the best it’s looked all summer, and we’ve added a few new additions here and there. I absolutely love our ferns and they have such fun names; birds nest, maiden hair, and fluffy ruffle. We also added some ground cover around our fairy tree called ‘Elfin’ and ‘Odin’ which I think is very fitting. Now if we could just interest the birds in our new bird feeder and keep the deer from eating our lily turf we’ll be happy!

As most of you know I’ve been an ambassador for Modern Picinic for a few years now. They recently released a new large launcher in the most beautiful shade called ‘elephant‘ (all of the bags are made of vegan leather) and it’s one of those bags that will go with every outfit. You can use my code: CHRISTA15 for 15% off your order. Also, they’ve recently opened up the company to small investors, so if you’ve ever wanted to invest in a small female-founded company you can read more about it here.
