Billy Balls

While this scattered mint julep cup of dainty yellow balls may be sparse to call a bouquet, I still think it's a charming addition to my desktop.

I found this charming bouquet on my first trip to Chicago in Bucktown. I was enamored with the small trendy shops and just had to buy something lovely as a souvenir.

The best part about billy balls is that they dry beautifully. I've had these for 3 months and they still look as fresh as the day I got them. I love the way they look in combination with other flowers - they add a unique quirkiness to a wedding bouquet but also look darling on their own.
