Blossom

So I’ll admit it, I can be pretty negative about Seattle sometimes… the fabric stores… the endless moldy cement.. lack of snow… lack of family blah blah blah. But you know what is great about Seattle? Blossoms. Beautiful bountiful bursting blossoms that, to a midwest girl, seem to be ridiculously magical and spectacularly out of place in our busy world. Its just the best present from the earth when you wake up and suddenly see hundreds of little petals blooming outside your window.

Yes, this being our first spring in our apartment we realized that a pear tree outside means fruit in the fall, and blossoms in the spring! Of course! Why hadn’t I thought of that earlier? But I honestly enjoyed it more as a surprise. Sigh. I just keep falling deeper in love with this cottage.

Bingley enjoying the view.

La la la blossoms lalalaaaaa.

Woah! Who is that? Oh. That is me as a cherry blossom wood nymph. It was my midterm from my make up design course. Mhmm, that is wood grain make up.

Thank you for indulging my blossom day dreams. Lots of love.

    Whoa, gorgeous! Why is there no mention of the dress?

      Oh yes! Sorry tami. My “dress” is actually two pieces. I have a simple white sundress from AE underneath acting as a bodice and as a slip under the sheer petticoat from the costume shop.

    Absolutely exquisite! Can’t wait to dress up with you:)

    With the dress and hair piece the makeup looks like it could be a bridal veil for a wood nymph. Beautiful job on the makeup.
