ink + peat
So I promised photos of the shop...ladies and gents pull up a chair - here she is...ink & peat.
I worked with Portland photographer John Valls who did a fabulous job helping capture the design and mood of the shop. We had fun pulling together little vignettes - moments if you will.
Thanks to everyone for all your support and to those who have come to visit...I hope you all will get a chance some day.
So wander through...(just imagine a Saijo Persimmon Voluspa candle burning softly in the background and you are there!)
I wish I could be in the shop right at this moment. I love the ambience of the shop, the collection of the merchandizem, the laid-back and natural style, the color scheme..... I can probably go on and on about this. I'll definitely pay a visit when I'm up in the area.

Oh my, your shop is lovely! I love the palette you've chosen, with the worn finishes, the moss green on the wall. Is that a blackboard backdrop to your flowers? What a great idea.

Absolutely breathtaking! Love everything about it. You really put a lot into this shop...because one can tell it was carefully detailed.

WOW! I must say, i'm speechless :) The pictures of the shop are absolutely dreamy... I just love it! I've really enjoyed following your blog. Your florals are such a wonderful source of inspiration. I hope if I am ever in the area I'll be able to pop in and see the shop in person... until then I'll window shop at my desk!
Thanks for the lovely post.

Oh my -- it all looks so wonderful and those photos are exquisite!! I will feature "ink and peat" in an upcoming post as a small thank you for inspiring me to start my own blog, which is now 1 year old.
Congratulations!!

Looks ABSOLUTELY FAB-U-LOUS!
Congratulations on making your dream a reality - what an achievement.
I SO wish I could come and visit your beautiful store.

The shop looks fabulous- I can't wait to visit! Everything from the serene colors you've chosen and the selection of droolworthy merchandise is perfect.
And I second Jennifer's sentiments about wanting just to move it. Don't be surprised if you open the door one morning and find me asleep on one of those beautiful benches: as Goldilocks said, everything looks "just right"!
