I'm Susan — devout Francophile, mother of twins, writer, creative director, and aspiring author. I've been sharing my life here since 2010...thanks for reading!
These gorgeous spring flowers were a sweet surprise from mr. fleurishing, and were artfully arranged by my friend, philadelphia’s own Sullivan Owen. This “just because” bouquet was extra special with a one word note which brought me to tears. Filled with ranunculas, roses and anemones, it brought spring into our home in the most beautiful way. What are your favorite blooms?
As you can see, this photo shoot quickly became all about Marie. Her beauty continues to blossom before our eyes, and the girl has personality for miles. This dress kills me…it was the first one I bought for her while pregnant, and the timing of it fitting for spring and easter was kismet. I melt even more seeing the way she smiles at her daddy…it is heartbreakingly sweet.
I just can’t resist sharing this beautiful and unique easter centerpiece DIY by stephmodo! The combination of happy, spring colored macarons + a painters palette makes it my kind of inspiration. Head over to the original post for step by step instructions and more gorgeous photos!
happy easter/passover/weekend
I had the pleasure of styling these charming kitchen shelves this week at a clients home. They needed to be practical + pretty, using what was available…and I left with a big smile on my face knowing that the mini makeover made her day. Bonus-she has (adorable + beautiful) boy/girl twin babies, and we spent half the time chatting and bonding over twin mom stuff!! We get each other’s lives, and it feels good. I gained a new client, friend, and playmates for M + H…yay. Also, this photo puts me in a spring mood. Does it cheer you up too? I hope so. Bon weekend friends!
