We taught a spring floral workshop this last Sunday at ink & peat and had so much fun! Thankfully, Annie of Marry You Me blogged about it - go read about it here! Here is one of her beautiful arrangements.We had a lecture and then the 8 students did 2 hands-on arrangements that they got to take home. We also had tea and lovely desserts from Miss Zumstein - what fun! Thanks Annie!
I'm catching up on showing you all some past floral work - here are several arrangements that I did for Lauren Hall-Behrens. Lauren is the owner of Lily Villa Gardens, a fabulous landscape and garden design studio here in Portland. Lauren opened up her gorgeous garden for the Landscape Architects tour last spring and I was so honored to do some floral arrangements to accent this beautiful space. The garden has a modern and warm feeling even though it is attached to an Arts and Crafts home. Lauren used many chocolate, chartreuse green, and grey plantings so I wanted to pick up on that in the floral arrangements for the tables. I used Naranja roses, lamps ear, silver cone leucadendron, smoke bush, pincushion proteas, succulents, ladie's mantle, asclepias, green cockscomb, and chocolate eucalyptus.
We have been loving these new scented candles at the shop. The line is called nest and the packaging alone is enough to get you excited. The scents are heavenly and eclectic. My favorite is the moss & mint which is fresh and earthy all at once. Grapefruit is another favorite and if you are having a girly-girl day, you would love the pink jasmine. Take a deep breath - ahhhh.....
Do you ever see certain images where you feel like you can almost TASTE the color? That is how these goodies are for me - both posted by the lovely SFGIrlbybay. The top is a tea towel by The House of Bouton and the bottom a pom-pom ottoman by Urban Outfitters. Delightful!
Love these new fresh springy linens from the Nicola Manganello collection at Garnet Hill. A mix of delicate patterns, quilts, solids, and embroidered pillows in chartreuse greens, ecru, and paprika orange. Welcome Spring!
