A Surreal Fusion of Tropical Serenity and Floral Elegance

The "Island Cafe 001" collection is a meticulously curated visual narrative that merges the serenity of a remote tropical island with a sophisticated, minimalist aesthetic. This series captures a dreamlike atmosphere where vibrant pink cherry blossoms bloom in impossible harmony against a backdrop of crystalline turquoise waters and endless blue horizons.

Key highlights of the series include a vintage turquoise and white camper van nestled on the pristine sand, an elegant beachside cafe with sun-drenched, airy interiors, and intimate details of "slow living"—from a solitary cup of coffee and a fresh croissant to an artist’s easel awaiting inspiration and a plush white linen sofa positioned at the water’s edge. The color palette is a harmonious blend of soft pastels, natural wood tones, and brilliant whites, evoking a sense of refined luxury, calm, and artistic escapism.

Spring Living Wreath

Hello again friends. It’s been snowing and Spring does not seem to be anywhere near, but I’m taking matters into my own hands.
I made this pretty living spring wreath using pansies and some moss. 
The day I made it, the sun was shining and I actually sat outside to make this wreath. But alas, it was just a little tease from Mother Nature.

I started by taking the pansies out of their pot…
Soaked some moss in water ….


And wrapped the pansies with the moss…
I used black thread to hold it together….
I then just used the same string to wrap the pansy ‘moss balls’ to the wreath…
So easy and I love how beautiful it looks. To water it, I spray it everyday and because pansies are so hardy, it’s going to last a long time. 

I love it. 
I took a lot of photos because it was so nice outside and I was enjoying the little break of winter weather. Sadly, it’s been snowing
and cold so I brought the wreath inside. I can’t wait to display it outside and for Spring to finally show up.

Thank you so much for stopping by.

much love,

Lucy

    Hello friends. I hope all is well. It’s been a loooong winter and I’m in need of a little warmth and of course some color.

Hello friends. I hope all is well. It’s been a loooong winter and I’m in need of a little warmth and of course some color.
Today I’m sharing this adorable candlestick holder flower arrangement that is so easy to make but looks so pretty on its own or in a grouping.

You could use floral foam but I didn’t have any on hand so I cut a piece of pool noodle and used that as the foam base.


I simply cut a piece and inserted it over the candlestick holder. You can place it on the top, bottom or middle of the holder. 
I just poked several faux flowers throughout until I was happy. 
To cover the rest of the foam, I glued on some moss. 

I think it looks so pretty and I can’t wait to make this pretty craft again.
