inspired gardens

with the warm weather (er, warmer weather?) approaching, it is time to start thinking about sprucing up your garden. for me, this involves creating an outdoor atmosphere outside of the shop that reflects the inside of the shop. after our florescent pink christmas tress i displayed this past holiday season, i sure wanted to do something just as outrageous for the spring and summer months. so i started my research... here are some pictures of what i found...

i think i have an idea of what i am going to create. and it involves my favorite medium, spray paint! now all i need is a day over 50 with no rain, and i can start working on it!

hello hanna wishing tree

one of my most favorite blogs to read is hostess with the mostess. i swear one day i am going to be a professional party planner, but for now i just do it for fun.

just a few days ago, they shared a post of a darling vintage easter brunch (that includes some adorable free printables!) they used the hello hanna wishing tree (available in the shop!) for their centerpiece

the wishing tree is $42.50 and includes the paper tree and base, 40 ready-to-hang wishing ribbons & display, and 20 pink flowers with removable sticky dots! you can also purchase other colored flowers or birds to match your occasion. it is perfect for weddings, showers, anniversaries, birthdays, a place to keep special wishes for yourself, or in this case easter!

margot elena

i stumbled upon this cool interview with designer margot elena, who is the mastermind behind our favorite cult beauty brand lollia, which is of course bath and body products in gorgeous, ultra-feminine packaging (available at angelina).

she is also the creator of tokyo milk, love & toast (previously available in the shop), and nectar+pollen to be launching soon. cool fact to know about her: she owned her first nationally distributed fragrance line before the age of 25! what an inspiration!

lollia items make the most perfect mother's day gifts! (mother's day is may 8th, so come in soon before they're all gone!) just a few of our favorites...

relax bubble bath - a rich exotic blend of lavender, bee blossom honey with white orchids and warm, woody undertones of indian amber delicately completed with a touch of tahitian vanilla. tiny, luxurious bubbles chatter in the tub as avocado and olive fruit oil tickle the nose. rich vitamin e silkens skin.

imagine bath salts - flowering willow & lotus float in, then flutter away. a trace of orchid on their wings. breezy rice flower and warm coconut milk mix with dew drop notes of mandarin & jasmine petals. drop a spoonful into any bath to create instant luxury and lasting relaxation.

cotton and clover tall perfumed candle - light, fresh top notes of apple blossom and island orchid lighten the atmosphere. this candle is the perfect partner for wineglass in hand, dancing barefoot to nora jones evenings. demure and contemplative when alone, utterly romantic with someone you adore.
