feb ru ary 14

mixed it up a bit and this year for valentine's day, having my newly-launched retail shop to look over, set up a pop-up flower shop on-site, hand-tied bouquets for clients, and nixed deliveries altogether. it was a lot of fun, albeit extremely messy.

this was my third valentine's day as a florist, and now i have a steady clientele of boyfriends/girlfriends/husbands/partners/wives who come back every year. i wish i could list them all here and send them all very large pizzas and those crazy bottles of champagne you see in rap videos or something, but instead i'll just say that i am extremely grateful to all of them and feel pretty lucky.

winter kale garland

last winter, i had the pleasure of working with wonderful photographer julie cope on a project inspired by my family's traditional advent wreaths around christmastime--but instead of using traditional greenery, i used kale from my garden, as well as asparagus fern and begonia leaves. it turned out beautifully and i highly recommend it in a pinch for a cheap and unique centerpiece. xx

goodnight, 2012

2012, i was terrified of you. but, more than any other year, you have been good to me. hard on me at times, but the kind of year that proves that if you are patient and stubborn and hopeful and tough, the very best things in the world can fall right into your lap.

ici tout est bon

crummy rushed photos from a beautiful november wedding that included filling 800 square feet of lustre pearl with approximately 300,000 rose petals. rose petals that almost did not make it, and that came in teeny tiny bags of about 100 each. it was a trip but i had absolutely zero time to take photos, i can't *wait* to share photos from the photographer.
