a closer look into what a classical education means in the usa

a time-tested way of learning, classical education is catching on more and more in the united states. here's a closer look into one yale university graduate and a san diego, california mom who took matters into her own hands when she couldn't find the right school for her children (read about her story here)

green with delight

today was one of those days where i could go just about anywhere and do just about anything. i choose to start my day at one of the prettiest floral shops in san diego, green fresh florals. i wandered in blindly, but my eyes suddenly widen at the gorgeous window display and smart logo ~ it called to me.

i started at the wall of amazing letterpress cards ~ cards from all my favorite letterpress shops {smock, egg press, and sable & snow}. i then moved to the wall of golden urns, glass vases and knotted drift wood. next were the florals ~ blueish greens, pink peonies, seeded eucalyptus ~ all of my favorites.

finally i moved to the outdoor area that was full of beautiful pots and succulents ~ you felt like you were in tuscany! the square frame succulent garden hung with great beauty, which i loved the most and thought i could recreate at home.

after carefully studying every corner, i came out of there with a handful of cards, a few succulents to make my own potted garden and an armful of pink peonies. a delightful visit i should say.
