Originally, I had planned on naming my blog Dandelion Champagne, because I loved the idea of taking something that many saw as worthless (dandelions = weeds) and transforming it into a bubbly, sparkly treat.

As a child, I wanted to be Ariel from The Little Mermaid. I used to watch The Little Mermaid every afternoon, and I would beg my Mom to watch it with me. She would bring down her sewing or some other busy work and try to get a few things done while we watched this …

I was always afraid of orchids. They seemed so delicate, and difficult to care for. Until that day that my boyfriend came to one of my rehearsals, and brought me a gift: a beautiful, pink orchid.
