Happy Birthday Sister.

My sister's birthday is on Valentine's Day. Every year, without fail, she gets something heart-themed for her birthday. I am often guilty of participating in this all too common pattern (but not this year Julia!). The arrangement in this photo is from her birthday last February 14th, and the stems were a combination of flowers brought over from our amazingly-talented photographer-friend Melissa Fuller and roses, tulips, and geranium from the garden at our old house in Oakland. I'm not usually a fan of lilies, but the bright colors worked so well together and brought some perkiness to our grey winter day.
