Orchid twins... Purple & pink for Moe, Red & white for Mish.
Orchids are such beautiful flowers. I fell in love with this one as soon as I saw it.
I painted the terracotta pots they came in different colors. Monique's is metallic purple her favorite color and Michon's is pearlescent red her favorite color.
Beautiful flowers for beautiful ladies.
Michon and Monique out to dinner for their 26th b-day.
Blowing out the candles on their fancy desserts @ the Vietnamese restaurant.
Jesse and I got all dressed up to go out. January 12th marked the 26years since the day my good friend Moe and her twin sister Michon were born. Moe and I have been friends for around 6yrs now and were roommates for several years. Then Moe moved away and her sister Mish moved to Denver. It's been great getting to know these wacky girls and I'm glad that they got to spend their birthdays together and that they asked Jesse and I to come help them celebrate. The girls have an expensive taste, so we went to a uber fancy restaurant that was highly out of my price range, but Jesse said he'd pay (thank goodness). The food may have been expensive, but it was sure tasty too. I was really wanting to get something for the girls, but buying 2 of something is expensive and on my limited budget I was running out of ideas. I took one look @ our lovely peace lily grandpa and thought Aha! I have the perfect gift idea... a plant, but then I remembered the girls both have cats. dun dun dun... In case you are unaware cats are notorious for eating house plants and most house plants are notorious for being poisonous to cats. Bummer! I did a little research and found out the orchids aren't poisonous. I made a trip to Home Depot and found the perfect pair of orchids. I brought them home and painted their pots the girls favorite colors. The girls were so excited. I think they really like orchids and hopefully they can keep them alive for years to come. It was nice getting to see Moe over the weekend and I can't wait to head back down to Taos, NM to visit her.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY LADIES!
