On Monday, we visited the new “Chihuly in the Garden” exhibition at the Missouri Botanical Garden, and it’s amazing! We’re looking forward to going back next week to see the displays lit up at night!

Chihuly in the Garden
Today is the opening day of the “Chihuly in the Garden” glass exhibition at the Missouri Botanical Garden! Chickadee, Ladybug, and I visited the Garden yesterday, and while they were putting a few finishing touches on the displays, for the most part, it looked like everything was ready to go. Here’s a look at some of the outdoor pieces (we’re going to take a look at the indoor glass in the future):
And a closer look at a few of my favorites, starting with a display featuring a boat on the Central Axis:
Speaking of boats, another one appears in the lake in the Japanese Garden:
The pink color of the piece in the Boxwood Garden is lovely, and I also love how it’s displayed:
But the Chinese Garden, which has elegant blue glass, might be my favorite display of all!
Next week, we’re going to “Chihuly Nights” to see the installations lit up…I can’t wait!
Mani Monday
Coronation Day is almost here! In honor of the event, I planned a very special mani inspired by the cross of St. George and saltires of St. Patrick and St. Andrew that make up the Flag of the United Kingdom. This one gave me a lot of trouble, because I can’t make a skinny, straight line with a nail polish brush to save my life, but as uneven as it looks, this is actually the better of my two attempts (I had to completely remove the polish from the first try because it looked so terrible)! It’s the thought that counts, though, and I think it’s a fun way to celebrate an historic event. It features Bésame Cosmetics “Holiday Red,” Sally Hansen Miracle Gel “Get Mod,” and Holo Taco “Twice in a Blue Moon.”
