The Friday Five: White Orchid Plants

I ended last week on the blog with white tulips. This week, I’m sharing five gorgeous photos of white orchid plants. Orchids are such a great floral option because they bloom and rebloom if you take care of them. I have a couple of orchid plants at home and at work, and they’ve rebloomed numerous times. I water them weekly with a bit of water and keep them in sunny spots. When the last bloom has fallen, I trim the stem back about halfway just above a node. I’ve also cut the stem back all the way so that it’s only a few inches tall. I honestly don’t know which option is best, I don’t pay too much attention to it.

Marketplace: Moroccan Wedding Blankets

I first posted about Moroccan wedding blankets back in 2010 (here) and then again here. They continue to hold a prominent place in people’s homes and in the design community.  At one time, they were nearly impossible to find, but now they’re available in blanket and other forms in mainstream stores like West Elm and Anthropologie, and there’s an incredible number of items available on Etsy.

20 Below: Bunny Jar

Do you decorate your home for Easter? If so, I think this jar would be a nice addition…filled with chocolate eggs, of course!

I don’t actually decorate for Easter…but I do enjoy eating my share (and more) of chocolate, filling my house with spring flowers, and eating a delicious meal with my family.

Blog Headers 25: Mixing Things Up

Okay. I’ve got a major blog header post for you today. I learned about a lot of these at February’s blog linkup, and I’m hooked on them! These bloggers are doing some great work, and I encourage you to get a little click happy and explore.
