Se colgó hasta el molcajete!

‘Se colgó hasta el Molcajete’ 🤣this is something we say as a joke when someone is wearing too many accessories. Well, I had a ‘molcajete’ sitting in my kitchen and saw the potential for a great vase to my flower arrangement I had to make for a Mexican theme baby shower. So I added as many colorful and pretty blooms to brighten my ‘molcajete’... sometimes too many it’s OK!!! 😅😉.    

[MOLCAJETE] From Nahuatl molcaxitl, is the Mexican version of the mortar made out of stone and used for grinding spices... or like my husband said ‘is where you put your guacamole’ 🙄😬🥑.                                  

Colorful Feast!

This girl tasted a fig for the very first time last week!

 A sweet friend of ours shared some freshly cut figs with me and I absolutely loved them. Not only they taste great and are really good for you but they also look super cute, they are like small pears but inside that salmon, coral like color is amazing. 

I can't believe I got to be this old and NEVER tasted one before!!!

All that to say that this first time fig tasting discovery inspired my creativity to play with some fun colors, I wanted to try to use flowers I had never worked with before like Safflowers, Scabiosa Pods, Godetias and Veronica's. It's always fun creating floral arrangements with a splash of color. At the end, after I took the pictures and was going through them I realized that I always go heavy on the greenery... I don't really intent to do so when I start but as I go I always end up using lots of greenery, I just love it... I guess I have to learn to make floral arrangements that only have flowers to add to the variety but for this time I went big with green. I guess you like what you like 😉 

I'm always learning and experimenting and as I go I think I'm defining more and more what my style is... and greenery in my floral arrangements is a must 😁
