Earth's Laughter

The Earth laughs in flowers
--Ralph Waldo Emerson

This weekend we plan to spend quality time with our cousins and also a good portion of the weekend hunkering down at my new favorite writing spot, The Bicycle Cafe over in Uptown. They are predicting snow again for us here in Denver (ugghhhh) But my thoughts are trying to stay put on warmth, fresh cut flowers, and iced coffee. Here's hoping your weekend is full of the beginnings of spring and lots of Earth's giggles (which may be the tiniest of blooms, according to Mr. Emerson).

{Guest Post: Happily Grey} A Pop of Sunflowers!

Hi! My name is Mary from Happily Grey and I could not be more excited to share one of my favorite DIY projects that I recently made. The idea first came from the all addicting Pinterest via Whit's Amuse Bouche! Since we recently just moved into a a new space, I have been knee deep in several projects attempting to fill vacant wall spaces in a more creative, personalized light! This project caught my eye for many reasons (small vase bottles, natural twine, and the pop of sunflowers & weeds) AND it is sooo simple! It literally took me 1 hr from start to finish! Here are a few of my pictures of the needed supplies and shots along the way! For the full tutorial please visit the original Hanging Wallflower creator Whit's Amuse Bouce. 

 A few tips I can add:

• I found my old frame in the "damaged" section at Michaels for $5. I liked the original color so I did not paint or sand the frame. 
• Michaels and Walmart have the small vase glass available for $1 a piece. Pick out pieces that have a lip. 
• I also found my flowers and weeds from Michaels ...great selection and I bought when they were 50% off! 

Hope your enjoy this DIY as much as I did! Thanks Lauren for letting me share my DIY inspiration. I am loving your blog and everything you are doing...you are truly talented and have such a creative eye! Check out my favorite post by Lauren here, here, and here!
