To Ponder

I need to think about a project. And yet when I sit in front of the computer I busy myself with boring admin work. Did I tell you I am making a master excel spreadsheet of all my vintage containers (thrilling)? My fingers started to itch as my hands lay idle. Some left over bits plus this fuzzy succulents called to me. That and the need to go out to lunch.

Oh My Darlin'

I have been meaning to tell you about this lovely little flower shop I stumbled upon when I was visiting the Bay Area. It's called Clementine (how cute is that!) and located in Oakland on College Ave. Natalie the owner was the nicest as she let me snap some quick pics of her light filled shop. Love meeting fellow flower people!

Among fresh flowers, you can pick up stoneware and mercury glass, wonderful weathered wire pieces, sweet smelling candles and pretty paper goods. Check out their flicker site to see more goodies and make sure you stop in if you are in town.  It made me yearn to expand my business and open my own retail shop...and then I will really go nuts. 

Let it Shine

Feeling good today people. It's sunny out, I was awoken by kisses by littlest pheasant, I collaborated with some very talented ladies yesterday and I have a bag of jelly beans on my desk. And the best thing ever happened! I tried on a new bathing suit I ordered and looks good (!). Have an awesome day.

Fruit Punch

Sunday we did a wedding at Galapagos Art Space down in Dumbo, Brooklyn. The flowers brought the only real color to the dark and dramatic space. I am loving this punchy color combo of pink and orange. I just can't seem to get enough of it. I wanted something modern yet not to stark - they still had to have movement and feel relaxed. I was so happy with the results.Enjoy!

I actually had a hard time giving up these Sarah Bernhardt  peonies. They were heavenly.

Can't go wrong with a pure peony bouquet.
