oh loves, spring has finally arrived in all her glory in virginia. this week has been full of so much beauty and color, i can barely stand it. i hope you are seeing and living the same.
this week:
i rescued these fallen camillas on a walk in my neighborhood.
while the forest outside is still lingering in its winter bed (the big trees don't really explode with spring for another few weeks), the kitchen window is all about spring and sunshine.

the cherry blossoms. they kill me.
ditto, the lilacs.
downtown loveburg is plastered with local art.
cyndi's studio is opening this week! she is the calm in the midst of the storm pre-opening. yoga goodness is such a beautiful space with amazing teachers. i'm honored to have my photographs grace the website. it was so inspirational to capture the beauty and grace and strength of some of cyndi's students.
more yoga goodness. when we arrived in loveburg fourteen years ago, there was no yoga other than the kind you did by yourself at home. today there are so many beautiful yoga studios and teachers to choose from. such abundance!
i was feeling blue on saturday and ken said, "let's go to the art store." i love him.
this paintbrush is like gold. i was curious about its $405 price and tried to convince inez at the shop to break out some paints so we could see what it could do.
i had to be satisfied with my $10 brushes at home.
for easter brunch i made two dishes for the first time that were amazingly beautiful. persian jeweled rice is saffron basmati rice with apricots, bayberries, pistachios, almonds, pomegranates and mint.
these easter egg radishes were roasted with brown butter and pink salt. is there a more appropriate easter side-dish? i don't think so.
like everyone else, i have spring cleaning and organization fever. i gypsyhillified my ikea flat file chest for the art studio. it will give all those thousands of bits of collected ephemera and papers a lovely home. and the giant buddha head planter on top will hold rolled paper.
spring is off to a lush start on gypsy hill.
