Sunflowers

i just finished reading this book by Debra Mancoff.
i've always loved sunflowers and it was really interesting to learn the history of the gigantic disc florets.
i never really notcied all the sunflowers in the 15th-16th century paintings i studied in art history class.

i definitely recommend it for a better than just for the coffee table book!

a new 'hob'bies

get it?

i love this gerber daisy vase. reid & i went on a quick antique adventure on my lunch hour last week, and this photo sort of reminded me of all of the beautiful milk glass & fenton hobnail pieces that we found in the vendor booths. its a pretty modern design that would definitely work in my kitchen. maybe i'll start a collection?

Fenton Hobnail glass, dating from 1930, is decorated with a pattern of bumps. The term “hobnail” comes from the nails with thick heads that were used to secure and protect the soles of boots. Hobnail patterns can be seen on anything from dishes, candlesticks, lamps and vases.

Flowers are the sweetest things God ever made, and forgot to put a soul into.

this past sunday, Reid & I went to the Atlanta Botanical Garden down by Piedmont Park to see all of the orchids. It was SO incredible to see all the different types of beautiful flowers. each one really is like a work of art. I think the exhibit runs through march, great for a warm weekend!
