{friday five} paper flowers

Geez, it’s Friday already. I swear it should only be Wednesday. Oh, and by the way, its APRIL. When did this happen?! I’ve been busy with work and getting the second annual Columbus Design Weeks website set up, and in the meantime weeks flew by and months changed. shoot. Don’t worry, I’ll be sharing it on here soon, we’re still getting a few kinks worked out and then we’ll be full-blown ready to share the awesomeness with everyone!

In the meantime, it’s freaking April! Spring should be is officially here and I’ve had flowers and other pretty things on the brain. Thing is, my daffs are just starting to get buds, so I have a little bit of time before fresh-cut full blooms are right outside my door. (Who am I kidding, I think I have four daffodils in that little plot of sand-dirt outside; I’m going to have to go to the florist for any sort of real bouquet.) So why not  indulge in some paper flowers? They’ll never wilt, you don’t have to water them, and you can make them in any weather! Plus they are gorgeous! Here are a few of my faves:

| 1 – flowers for a birthday party via Elisabeth Heier  | 2 – crepe paper flower garland via honestlyYUM  |  3- Pink paper peonies from Jessica Burns  | 4 – Paper flowers from West Elm  |  5 – Origami Cherry Blossoms from Paper Mojo |

So great, right?

What’s everyone up to this weekend? I have yet to figure it out since I’m just now realizing it’s already here! Whatever you are up to, enjoy it and happy, happy Friday.
