It's Finally Spring!

It's no surprise that spring is my favorite season, I talk about it a lot. A LOT. I just love feeling the days getting longer, watching flowers bloom all around me, and feeling a surge of motivation I find difficult to access during cold, winter months. Spring is the best.

TGIF 🎉

I'm currently untangling myself from a month-long rut (February was not easy on yours truly) and doing some much needed self-care. I hope you're taking time to do the same, and know that amid the tumultuousness of our political climate--something that is certainly making it hard for me to relax--some days just being is enough. 

De Young Museum & Bouquets to Art

I've seen museums do special exhibits surrounding spring lots of times, from paintings of Victorian flowers to bird sculptures, but the de Young's homage to spring this year blew me away.

Each year, they have an exhibit/fundraiser called Bouquets to Art that lasts for five days. You can imagine how a five-day exhibit at a huge art museum in a giant city would get crowded, and it was, even in the middle of the day on a Wednesday. I've been in my share of crowded spaces before but it felt really overwhelming being around so many people intentionally huddling around such a tight space. I lasted 30 minutes before I had to get out of there, but I'm still glad I went!

Here is my favorite arrangement:

And a few others I liked:

#BouquetstoArt at #deyoungmuseum is one of the most unique celebrations of spring I've seen at any art museum! 🌸🌷🌻🌺 #sanfrancisco #flowerpower
