We are on our way to California for a much awaited trip to Disney Land. The one caveat-- DWorld was out of the question. Florida would have killed me... Disney overload comes to mind. California is the perfect compromise.
For the past few weeks I've been wanting to write a post about the Martha Stewart March issue and I finally have the time!

The cover photograph is such a beautiful arrangement and there are lots more inside. What makes . all the arrangements inside so perfect is their imperfection in scale and balance. I would like to be able to put together flowers like that one day!! In the meantime I photographed some beautiful NY-arranged flowers I had in the house. Here is my own version... Flowers on their last legs. I love the fragility of color and the effort to remain intact....
Also in this issue were some fabulous ideas for beading with precious gems. I haven't yet had a chance to try my hand at these but here are some of the photos from Living.

It may seem like you have to live in New York to find supplies but now with the internet it's so easy to find the materials you need. Another idea was the use of ribbons and brocade trim:
The people at Living always share their resources. For this story they used mj trim where they sell great ribbon, buttons and trim.
I have a few other resources for ribbon and trim that I love too. Both are worthy of posts of their own, but for now:
1. Mokuba a Japanese ribbon store
2. Hyman Hendler Been around forever. They carry not only the basics and novelty but vintage ribbons as well.
Next up- The April issue!!
