In which I wish I had a garden...



So... I visited the Antique Rose Emporium today, and it was EXTREMELY nice. Okay, it might be better to visit when the area is NOT having a BURN BAN in effect (Yes, a BURN BAN (Because it needs all caps to show how serious it is, you know.), which essentially means a drought IN WHICH EVERYTHING IS DEAD. Lovely.) because the place probably would've been much prettier if more than a couple flowers had been heartily blooming. But, regardless, I had a great time, even though the temperature was at least one hundred degrees.

I am not kidding.

ARE (as they like to refer to themselves) was pretty large and had a small variety of nice paths to walk on that showcased their great gardening skills. A table full of herbs grabbed my attention, and I was totally lusting after the basil. Eventually, I would like an herb garden because fresh seasonings taste so much better than packaged ones, no matter how pretty or expensive they are. But! What ARE made me want the most was a flower garden. Full of gorgeous roses.

Just look at them:

[Look] here to find out more about the Amazone.


[Look] here to find out more about the Knock Out.


...Sigh... I WANT A HUGE GARDEN WHEN I GROW UP.

In which I say hello...


Welcome to my (new) blog. If you came from Stylistas Anonymous, you will find posts that have to do with fashion here, too, but there will also be much more! In order to properly show off my funny (and opinionated) nature, posts will also include my other favorites: music, books, my life, and etsy things!

It's a wide range, I know, but hopefully, this blog will clue you in to fascinating finds and also make you laugh. Which is why I was put on this earth.

Just ask my mother.
