Lush and large photographs and editorials exclusive to PFM are going to make it an instant favorite and must have for your design, fashion and lifestyle inspiration!

In addition to a one year subscription to her wonderful magazine, Angela is also giving away a fantastic scented soy candle from Linnea’s Lights.

The candle is handmade, free of GMO material, herbicides and pesticides. The double wicked candle burns for up to 60 hours!
The fragrance is called “Lavender” and according to Angela, “the BEST lavender candle EVER”.

Welcome to this week’s {floral friday}!
Unfortunately I couldn’t find much information about today’s flower, the Rhododendron Himantodes. I thought the blooms looked so pretty, that I had to take pictures of it when the hubby and I visited the botanical garden. I love how the stems and petals look like they’re sprinkled with cinnamon. A very pretty flower, I think! ;)

I’m partying here! ♥
