Flower + Herb Arrangements

August 21, 2014 · 2 Comments

Flower + Herb ArrangmentFresh flowers are a weakness of mine, and I try to have them throughout each room in the house, not only because they’re pretty, but for the aroma they bring into any room. I tend to place simple bud vases with single large blooms in the bathroom, or gather smaller arrangements together to create table centerpieces lovely from every angle the eye can see. Lovely mint julep cups were on sale here last week, and I just couldn’t pass up this great opportunity. I’ve been eyeing these pretty and versatile glasses for some time, imagining creating lovely flower arrangements or delicious drinks.

Since the beginning of the month, I’ve slowly begun collecting a variety of herbs from the garden to prepare for the colder months ahead, hanging them along the wall in my dark basement. Some will be brewed for tea, while others as spices in special dishes like this holiday baked brie.

Flower + Herb ArrangementI’ve been trying to take in as much summer freshness into my days, while I still can. So, I decided, while smelling the fragrant herbs in my basket, why not create small pretty arrangements, that make a subtle statement. The sweet basil and the refreshing lemon mint scents blend beautifully, hugging your senses with summer love. Herbs usually last in water and cool temperatures, refreshed and cut every other day, about 1 to 2 weeks, depending on care. Which allows me to enjoy the scents of gardening and summer until the remainder of August, while still working well with the beginning of the Fall season, where then I can start envisioning what these delicious herbs will become once winter.

Flower + Herb ArrangementI’d say the most unique part of my garden, are the small corners dispersed throughout of different succulents. We have small ones that resemble a bushel of rosettes, like these, and my favorite, which look like large bloomed flowers, like this one. I just loved the lavender hue a flowering succulent looked along with bright yellow flowering dill.

This Soba Tom Yum Noodle dish, inspired by @chriss This Soba Tom Yum Noodle dish, inspired by @chrissyteigen recipe wouldn’t be considered traditional but it does celebrate the beautiful Thai flavors I love. I’ll take all the spice & lemongrass please🍜😋!! It’s certainly become a staple of mine, one I’ve recreated several times & I highly recommend you save in your back pocket because it will leave you craving more...& more!! 

I used to post lots of recipes on the blog ‘til weddings/events/design took center stage & hoping to do so more again. Get this recipe on the blog now!
I read something yesterday, that made me instantly I read something yesterday, that made me instantly stop & reflect..."Some people think that having Hope makes you naive, but in my mind, it's so much harder to choose Hope over being angry or frustrated..." As someone who considers herself quite a hopeful person, I've had this on my mind since. Let's not confuse Hope w. toxic positivity {in which negative feelings or hardships are pushed aside}, when there is Hope, we still acknowledge our worries, the drawbacks of life, the sadness but still know that there is good.

We've all been doing our best nearing a year into this pandemic; the lives lost, families broken, the uncertain long-term issues, jobs, livelihoods disrupted & most recently too many people to count, struggling after a natural disaster. My heart breaks & is w. all of you, but despite the darkness, what I've also seen during these trying times...is Hope & Love. Communities & strangers coming together to help one another however way they can, even when they too are struggling to get by. That right there, is Hope. Be gentle with yourself, be gentle w. those around you. We’re all doing the best we can🤍
