In Bloom

This week’s finds are all about flowers. My mother claims one of the secrets to happiness is fresh flowers in the home. I think she’s on to something but I have a fondness for flowers and plants in any form.
Above is a crazy amazing necklace by Etsy seller Elizaveta. The necklace is crammed packed with paper wedding/shower bells that to me look less like bells and more like a beautiful array of paper flowers.

Flower Dress by designers Niels van Eijk and Miriam van der Lubbe.

Also by van Eijk and van der Lubbe are these hilarious Bloom my Buddy flower vases.

Probably my favorite idea for a business card of all time. An earth friendly project by Jamie Wieck.
“For this project I set out to design a business card that a prospective client would want to keep on their table rather than in their pocket.
The result was a business card that worked like a miniature house-plant, growing alfalfa or cress when dipped in water”

Wow… those dresses are absolutely amazing. I can barely get grass to grow in my yard, so I have total appreciation for horticultural art.
I also love the business card idea! It’s so rad and brilliant, and yet so simple — I love it! Thanks Quincy!
