it is time for spring cleaning or at least that is what these images are inspiring me to ramp up and imagine how good it would feel and look to be this organized. imagine your week to feel this inspired.

spring is all about the flowers..there's an incredible sweetness in the air. it's making me want to update my wardrobe with something a little more colorful and jazzier. so i'm listening to jazz while imagining some rejuvenating color combinations out there. let the sweetness of spring inspire your week.

arrangements of lovely flowering branches are my favorite way to celebrate and acknowledge the onset of spring.  vases filled with gorgeous salmon colored quince branches are brightening several rooms in our house after an obliging neighborhood arborist allowed us to rescue an arm load destined for the chipper - serendipity! wishing you a happy and serendipitous weekend.

labyrinths and mazes of any kind are incredibly intriguing and appealing to me. they make me want to stroll though and be surprised at what's revealed just around the next quiet corner, kind of similar to a treasure hunt. a topiary or culinary type of kitchen/potager garden maze is another little dream of mine. it's easy to see why children and grownups alike find patterns like these playful. have a playfully thoughtful week.

the california poppies are back, bringing beautiful color to the neighborhood and hillsides. i love how just a pop of the color orange has the ability to brighten and energize a space. wishing you a bright weekend.
