many apologies to this smiley gent, who’s name i did ask for, but i somehow didn’t jot down. if you know him, drop me a line, and i’ll fill it in.

subtle lavender… i loved this flower and the amazing ballgown… for all the photos from lavender glacee click

i didn’t think it was that odd to show up with a gift for a princess. is that weird? she’s royalty. i was made to feel like i showed up with a BOMB (books and flowers are sometimes scary, but i was taught you don’t show up empty handed- manners people, they’re not completely eradicated in america). i won’t even go in to the details surrounding taking a few photos of this very pretty woman.  her… pr person? consulate representative? embassy handler? was extremely courteous (root word court! i’m a word nerd) everyone else needed to bring it down about a 1000. for more photos of the her royal highness, click

i was hoping for a crown. but the bouquet was pretty (so was she!)

the princess views plans for the new nordic museum due to break ground in a few years.

i think he said the belt was from the finerie… very cool.

i think they’re saying that everything’s blooming 3 weeks early.  which… my friends with allergies aren’t so happy about, but this warm weather has made me forget all about winter, and has turned my mind towards what i’m going to wear this spring.  i decided to document some flowers that have popped up- as soon as i got down on the ground, someone needed to check out the flowers too…
