Czech woman that paints flowers in her village

Czech Woman painting her village with flowers

Anežka Kašpárková  is a grandma in her 80's who has been painting beautiful ultramarine blue flowers in her village for generations. She has painted many homes and even the inside and outside of the local chapel. The paint only lasts for a couple of years so Anežka is kept busy. She only ever uses this blue as she says it looks expensive an is of good quality

What a lovely lady.....I wish she lived by me, my house could do with a spruce up.

Bohemian Wedding Inspiration Part 1.... Brice and Leah

Who doesn't love a good wedding?
Bohemian Wedding Inspiration: Surrounded by Kilim, tealights and the wilderness..Lean and Brice on their big Day
Bohemian Wedding Inspiration: Lace dress from Bona Drag and headdress from









 "Walking down a rug-dressed aisle of ethnic patterns in vibrant hues of tangerine, oxblood and earthy neutrals - elegantly clad in a fitted lace long-sleeve gown, tousled curls blowing behind her and adorned with a delicate jewelled headpiece, Leah Hoffman was the ultimate bohemian beauty. 

An intimate ceremony and reception styled with a free-spirited artistic eye, this wedding evoked a mood of 70's bohemia and was reminiscent of a backyard dinner party with friends. Think clusters of flickering tea light candles, rustic timber benches and haystacks as seating, string lights suspended between trees, a blazing fire pit, warm whiskey-cider, teepees, a taco truck and a majestic howling-wolf. "
 This wedding is just beautiful isn't it? Tealights, feathers, Whiskey and a Taco Truck.... what more could a girl wish for?.....

The home of... Fox Fodder Farms, Taylor Patterson





My first job was helping my mum in the small florists shop she worked in, in Shrewsbury. Althoug I spent a lot of the time with my hands in freezing buckets of water, it was Valentines day weekend, I loved it, and since then I have loved cut flowers and buy a bunch nearly every week.

I have a lot of admiration for florists and think in a parallel universe that is the other me's job. This is the home and studio of Brooklyn florist, Taylor Patterson. The whole article and collection of beautiful photographs are over at Sous Style... A lovely interview accompanies the photos, check it out here  and be inspired....
