When every leaf is a flower

I look forward to fall ever year and it always passes much too soon.

This year, we celebrated with this lovely intimate Autumnal dinner.

I love the arc and drape of this arrangement and all the textures I was able to incorporate. These roses were fun because as they bloomed, they lost their purple and became slightly more pink and khaki - ambiguously colored and curious to look at. The recipient of this arrangement used to play the Bass, so I included a guitar string envelope as an envelope for the card.The brand of string is Earthwood - how apt!

Boyfriend roses, birch bark, sponge mushrooms, Australian lepto, pussy willow, variegated mini pittosporum, variegated euonymous.

Stay tuned. Many more posts to come

A bit of Irish Countryside

This year for Habitat for Humanity's fundraiser breakfast, seeing as it was near St. Patrick's Day, they wanted to do a pot of gold theme. At first I was stumped as to how I was going to pull this off without it being kitschy or cheesy. I opted to do something mossy. Something resonant of Irish Countryside with gold accents. 


We had so much fun creating these. I imagine the forest floor in Ireland looking just like these. I will be very much disappointed if, one day when I go there, it doesn't look like this.

Beauties, I tell you!

UVU PR Tradeshow Piece

This thoughtful arrangement was for the PR trade show at UVU. They asked that it be along the lines of our Irish Country-side inspired pieces for this year's Habitat for Humanity county fundraiser breakfast (post coming soon!).  I loved being able to do something more directly linear, while still maintaining a slightly "found" feeling. The recycled paper container filled with fresh sheet moss and sponge mushrooms certainly set the tone and the stock smelled heavenly!

Featuring: Bells of Ireland, Sheet Moss, Sponge Mushrooms, White Majolica Spray Roses, Cream Stock, Curly Willow (sprayed gold).
