Flower power

I saw the above peony mural in this months Martha Stewart, and I liked the giant scale and the simplicity of just one big flower. I was amazed to learn this was a vinyl stick-on mural you could buy from Murals Your Way for $11 a square foot.  (30% discount if you use  code MARTHA)

The actual artwork is by talented artist Eric Beare.

I also found this giant yellow peony...

I'm not naturally a florally person, but at supersized proportions I really like it.

Bold, not a cutesy floral in any way.

A Nice Start to My Week

My favorite flower, the peony, began blooming in my yard this weekend. I can't begin to tell you how giddy that makes me. There are bouquets all over my house in every room

and they smell FABULOUS!

I'm going to completely date myself here, but as a kid I used to watch the Family Feud circa host Richard Dawson. I always wanted one of those the bunches of lollipops he gave out and these totally remind me of them.





Now if only they lasted longer!
