Happy Mother's Day!

Happy Mother's Day to all you Moms out there. My mom came and visited me today. She is amazing because she has to drive 2 hours each way to come here, and it is something I wouldn't do just for one day. Even a whole weekend barely warrants 4 hours of driving.

Did I mention I hate driving?

We went to the Pasadena Rose Bowl Flea Market because my Mom loves that type of thing, and I was looking for purple vessels for my wedding. We found... NONE! Amazing that after 3 hours of seeing every booth we literally found no purple things. There were lots of amazing things in other colors, but no purple or pink or gray.

I did find a few pieces for inspiration though :

And this... his head comes off.
And we bought one thing that cost $1

They come as tiny minuscule balls (think smaller than Dippin' Dots). You add water, and 6 hours later, they are ready to use as soil for indoor plants. I asked the guy about nutrients, and he had no answer, BUT these balls make it so that you only have to water your plants once every 3 weeks. And they are pretty. And cheap. And come in lots and lots of colors!!!
