The other cool thing I got at the craft show this weekend, though this was not a trade, was this cute and funky bud vase by Pennsylvania artist Jake Johnson. I put some dried lavender and globe amaranth in it and it makes me happy.

This tree outside our apartment is blooming. I don't know what it is, so if anyone does, please tell me, but it reminds me of another favorite memory I have from my oh-so-long-ago trip to France. We went to France in the late spring (May, or June, I can't remember--it was 11 years ago...) when the Linden trees were blooming in Paris. They had possibly the best smell I had ever smelled up to that point in my 16-year-old life.
These weren't given to me--they were left over in the produce department after Valentine's. I ditched the carnations and kept the daisies.
