The Flower Basket Boutique

Had the joy of photographing this lovely little flower boutique specializing in artistic floral arrangements. This shop is a hidden gem among the small town of downtown provo. Along with flowers this store offers quite the selection of handmade accessories, candles, foreign confectionaries and aromatherapy collections. With such colorful displays all over the store, I found many things that inspired me. I also could not escape without the purchase of a beautiful pair of loop jade earrings (shown in the last image of this post) made by a local company named "Phyllis & Larue."

My Grandma Joanie

Joan Sondra Inman Butchar

January 1, 1933 - October 25th, 2011

I finally went through the images from Grandma Joanies funeral service

Isn't she stunning! We will sure miss her but I'm so happy she is back together with my Grandpa Sam in Heaven.

St. Peter & Paul Orthodox Church

With my recent find of the Cathedral of the Madeleine, I started out on an adventure to uncover other religious treasures located in Salt Lake City. Just 3 blocks South East of the epicenter of downtown is a small hidden masterpiece. Walking through the doors of the chapel you come across a painted blue sky surround with beautiful icons reminiscent of the byzantine era.
