Paper Flower Dress

The Macy Department Store at The Gardens Mall in Palm Beach Gardens (and maybe all Macy locations?) is celebrating spring with mannequins dressed in gorgeous dresses made of paper flowers.  I saw at least 5 different styles and colors.

Bravo!  We all need some whimsy after such a long winter and this coral frock made me smile.  Have you seen any "touch of spring" out in the world that made you particularly happy?

Pink Dogwood

This beautiful pink Dogwood is blooming in my neighborhood. My tree is pure white and has finally started to relax and drape like it should. For years it looked like a Q-tip stuck in my lawn.

With blossoms like paper, Dogwood is a lovely tree to recreate in paper. One year I made Dogwood blossoms out of tissue paper and they turned out really sweet. 

I noticed that Martha Stewart Crafts sells a paper flower kit so that you can make your own little bouquet that will last forever.
