life is crazy sometimes and right now i am trying to enjoy life in the now and appreciate what i have because if i don't, i might never realize how sweet my life really is. at times i take advantage of it and sitting in my little garden in the beaming sun, thinking, really helped. take the time to enjoy every minute of everyday and appreciate all that surrounds you.

more little gardens

happy thursday everyone! i have been working very hard on my up coming show, lots of drawings and decisions on what to move forward with and what not to. Here are some shots of my most recent florals that i have been working on.

morning glories. vines are something i have been wanting to plant. always spreading their happiness wherever they go. i love seeing them growing on houses, columns and fences. they have such a beautiful way about them.

 oh and daffodils! such happy plants. they remind me of the original willy wonka where he takes a "flower" off and drinks from it like tea and then bites into! oh man, favorite part of that movie. i really like when people eat in movies for some reason...

anywho, i am working on another painting and am also making a bunch of my chicky paintings :) lots of work to get done today!

happy little things #6

 hello and happy monday! i am on my way back from a girl's weekend up in lake tahoe. will share a bit of our weekend later this week.

 it was brought to my attention (thanks emily!) that this month is national tea month! who would have thought. i am a HUGE tea drinker. i drink about 3 or 4 cups of it a day. growing up i had a friend who's mom was really big into tea and that is when my love of tea began. i love all sorts of tea and especially love a good glass of iced tea with lemon on a super hot day!

i switch up the brands every so often and have just recently gotten really into herbal tea. right now i am currently loving these. add a bit of honey and your golden. i also love green tea which is always a classic go to.

 for christmas my cousin's gave me a little mix that smells heavenly and once i fix my tea diffuser, the chain broke :(, i can finally try it! i can't wait.

what is your favorite tea?
xo,
