mum's the word

i love the chrysanthemum motif in design. this gorgeous paper is from graham and brown.

and i've always sort of thought that "asuka' from osborn and little had that mum inspired feel to it.

i love that it can feel modern, oriental, victorian, country or art deco, depending on the application.

i found this painting on ebay for chump change. what a score!

and with fall upon us, you'll start seeing them pop up at your market. i love throwing a handful into a silver water pitcher for an elegant easy arrangement. tre´s autumnal.
