I Want Wednesday: Fresh From the Garden

1. I want to be as casually chic as this model sporting my own short sleeve blouse from Tucker. Actually, I want to sport this and this and this too from the Tucker Summer Collection.

2. I'm crazy about about bright sunny bedrooms. Unlike my sister, I just can't sleep in a dark gloomy cave. I want this gorgeous duvet and for someone ('cause I sure as spit can't) to make me a lovely headboard covered with this upholstery fabric for my bedroom. Okay - so, really who's gonna make it? {Bedding and fabric from Rubie Green. Creator and designer Michelle Adams also has a lovely blog, MA Belle, that's worth checking out.}

3. And while I'm lounging in my new blouse, on my new bedding I want to look over at my hand and see this lovely cream bouquet ring from Naked Tile's Etsy shop. I just have to have it.

Mother's Day Arrangement

My mother's birthday and Mother's Day always fall around the same time - sometimes they are even on the same day. So I'm always looking for at least two great ideas around this time to try. And this button filled vase from Martha Stewart was too perfect an idea to pass up.

How To:
1. Find a vase that is small enough to fit inside your larger one, the one you will fill with buttons, but be sure that your narrow vase large enough to hold a full floral arrangement. Fill the bottom of your large vase with buttons and place the smaller vase inside. Then fill the space between the two with an assortment of buttons tring to keep them in the same color family and heavy enough that they won't float. Once the space is full add water.
2. Now all that's left to do is to add some water to the smaller vase and arrange your flowers.

I don't know about you but this is one gift my mom is sure to love.
