A New Friend Who is Really an Old Friend

Funny thing. An old childhood friend finds me on Facebook. Realizes I do flowers. Asks if I can send an arrangement to a mutual friend who has just had a baby girl. Sure, I say - I remember Karen we sat next to each other in 2nd grade. She was the smartest girl I knew and never made a mistake on her spelling tests. Ever. I take down the details. Turns out she lives directly across the street from me! How weird is that? I walk in and we are reunited. Hugs all around including her mother who remembers me and my mom. Karen has another daughter who is 4. I stare down at this little tow headed child and I see Karen as a child. We are 7 years old again.

The New Modern

Hey there. So my big news today is that I am going to be a regular contributor at Brooklyn Bride!! Every month I will be able to present fresh and exciting table top designs of my own. So excited! Much thanks to Vane for letting me explore new ideas. Speaking of modern....what do you think is modern in floral design? Is there a direction or color scheme you'd like seeing? I'd love to hear it. Have a great day folks!

Some things...

We made some very pretty wedding flowers this weekend. Including a massive pink peony arrangement for my little bunny. 5 years old people! 5! This is a major marker in life. Princesses are waning and there is talk of rock stars. When you ask her what her favorite color is she would say without hesitation "sparkly pink". Now she adds "...and a little shiny black". Meanwhile this single pink peony had us swooning. Just amazing.

 

In between deliveries, Jenni and I had some time to kill. After hitting up John Derian's SALE! (I scored!!) We stumbled upon this lovely public garden. It was the nicest coolest greenest little oasis in the middle of the hustle and bustle of the East Village.

First big girl haircut

Have a lovely day!

Kapow

Been meaning to tell you how my mediation classes are going. Basically I am all calm and chill in the beginning of the week. Mindfully moving throughout my day. However, but weeks end I'm downing 2 coffees by 9am and racing through all I have to do. No I exaggerate...not really (well the coffee yes). I have to say each weekend wedding so far has been really enjoyable and moving at a normal pace. This is good.

Here is some "bling" for your Friday. Flirty, girly pink. Was able to get some delicious watermelon colored sweetpea for the occasion. 

Rosemary and Blueberry

It's hot out there today. And I'm loving it. My sinuses however are not happy. I have never suffered like this before. I am taking all kinds of medicines and remedies because this weekend we have two weddings and one very important party. Littlest Pheasant is turning FIVE!!!! Holy crap time is flying. Here is a bouquet and boutonniere to cool you off. See you.
