Cherry Blossom trees in bloom are one of my favorite signs of spring. In full bloom the white and pink blossoms brighten their surrounds and when fallen they are a carpet of silky petals. Thankfully, even after the trees have lost their pink, the beauty of the Cherry Blossom can be enjoyed in other things. Here are a few of my favorite ways to incorporate the Sakura into your everyday life:
Mini Cherry Blossom Dish ($35.40 for one dozen) from Beaucoup. Darling, sweet, and affordable – great idea for bridal shower favor or bridesmaid gift.

Also available in Dove Gray – Wayfarer ($65), Key Lime Twill – Wayfarer ($65), Green Corduroy – Semi-Circle ($55), and Eggplant Corduroy – Offbeat Messenger ($65).
