flora

This past Saturday some friends and I had a great day downtown: First stop was the flower mart, then, of course, a coffee at Handsome Guys, a quick peek at Kelly Wearstler's warehouse sale, the most delicious lunch at Bar Ama, and finally some time to arrange all the beautiful flora we purchased. budsI love utilizing the 'scraps' and making these mini arrangements for bud vases and spontaneous gifts.
