Wheat Wreaths and Paper Birds

I am in love with the this wedding over at 100 Layer Cake. Everything is gorgeous and looks so effortless. Such talented people all round. But what I am really lusting over are these amazing wheat wreaths and paper birds decorating the restaurant's ceiling. Next time we visit the in laws in San Francisco I am bee-lining it to Suppenkuche.

The Golden Pheasant

Two orders for tomorrow. Tree peony, 2 kinds of amaryllis, princess pine, pussy willow branch, tie leaf, bay and vanda orchid. Enjoy your Thanksgiving. I have much to be thankful for this year. xo

Cut Paper Tree Book

So as I wander around (clicking around rather) seeking inspiration and motivation I stumble upon the amazing work of British artist Su Blackwell off this great blog Slim Paley. She has work included in Slash: Paper Under the Knife, an exhibition currently up at the Museum of Art and Design in NYC. That's what I need, a museum visit! You have until April 2010 to catch it. I'm so there.

Classic Fall

I just got the photos back from a lovely autumnal wedding in October. I am loving the way the orange pops on the navy blue. The photos are so saturated! We nestled little lady apples in the centerpieces. The photographer is Aaron Almendral.

Moody Blues and Grays

I learned about this lovely exhibition in Portland Me. titled Come Darkness, curated by Maria Alexandra Vettese via Lena Corwin. To make you dream about winter days, white light and cloudy skies. I wish I could beam up to Maine and see all these works. Ideas are swelling in my head and I am pressed for time and out of focus. My irritation mounts. I am second guessing myself and that is the worst. When my creative desires get out of whack, I need to repeat my little mantra and say "stay close to flowers". Somehow this calms me and I know new art will follow suit. pretty please. Ok, vent over.
