Since 28 was a year I had been looking forward to since I was a little girl, I decided it deserved more than my usual plastic birthday crown(s). In a stroke of genius, I emailed TerraBella Flowers & Mercantile in Greenwood, one of my favorite neighborhoods (when my dad died, the most beautiful arrangement I received was from them), asking for a bold, lush,  real flower crown. I had considered one for our wedding, but our vibe just wasn't boho enough for one. Plus, I wore my hair up.

I really loved the results - and the shop itself is super cute. I'm going to need to go back and stock up one some of their paper and pretty products. It felt like being in the secret garden + Yolanda from RHOBH's fridge at the same time. Plus, in true Seattle fashion, they are completely organic and committed to local sourcing. And that, of course, is my jam.
