Thanks for joining our rose-filled fun on Saturday guys! There weren’t a whole lot of roses at the garden but we did see sooo many more mind-boggling flowers at the Conservatory Garden! At the picnic, we stuffed ourselves with rose cupcakes AND rose lemonade (which were so good, we forgot to take pictures!),
blew iridescent soap bubbles,
got henna tattoos on a whim (Mark got a unicorn, I got a rose, Kat got a lime),
hid under gigantic elephant ears,
hung out with some old friends and made new ones (StevieBoi‘s eyewear is incredible!),
laughed about tons of random stuff,
jumped as high as we could,
spun around in the garden after dark,
and chilled by the fountain with Hoppy King!
I wore vintage dress adorned with flowers, negligee that I dyed light purple, shoes with shoe clips from ModCloth, and a pink rose in my hair. Special thanks to Kristin Jackson for doing my hair (too bad she couldn’t make it to the picnic because of an appointment).
More pictures on Flickr.
Here’s a quick video from the garden!
P.S. Airborne Unicorn (our purple lipstick) is back on sale – watch our Twitter for a special discount! :)

Beautiful dress, beautiful friends. And yeah for Hoppy King!
Looks like it was an amazing time! I love Mark’s newish hair by the way.
You looked adorable…I was wondering what that was, but never would have guessed negligee! Very clever :D
It looks like you had a wonderful time.
In the picture with StevieBoi it looks like you’re trying to give your best “I’m tough” face. So cute!

Recently before this aweshome post i was thinking about getting henna since i don’t want nothing permanent on my body!! (i’ve pondered about it but giving money for pain&something that can’t be changed without having more pain no thank you!! :P) :D THIS IS A SIGN!! *buys henna in her mind because she’s broke*

I think about 15 actually. It was nice, we had a great time, I just wish it wasn’t so sweltering hot that day! Poor cupcakes were melting haha.
Mark’s henna picture totally made my day. :D
these are fabulous (and I’m so late to da parteh) but you do such a proportional woman/little girl i.e. thumbalina; I wish you’d find one of those huge honking leaves they have in botanical gardens and perch and pose ;~)
[...] also found time to catch up with Doe Deere at her birthday celebration. Doe fed Canary her first sweets. Delicious hand made cupcakes!! Oh, and rose lemonade [...]
Looked fun..ok next year i will BE THERE FOR SURE! If you have one. Everyone looked nice.
