Mostly, I'm on Instagram, I'd love to connect with you there!

Last night, my Dahlias made it through the first frost warning. This morning, I wore a hat and gloves. Autumn is happening, people! And, today, I’ll be packing up for the American craft fair at Tower Hill @towerhillbg . The fair runs this Saturday and Sunday from 10 to 4. I’ll have a few special items (not for sale anywhere else) like notebooks and tea towels, so come see me there! PS carpool if you can, the lot there fills up fast! Happy Friday, all!
Here’s where I’m starting today: drinking tea and looking at the first of the autumn leaves. Next up: prepping for the American Craft Fair at Tower Hill Botanical Garden @towerhillbg this weekend. I’ll try to share some prep in stories, but if you want to see New England Autumn at it’s best, check out @yukafloral ‘s recent post - serious eye candy. #greenteaaddict.
Hi there! I’m feeling busy, busy these days, in part because I went a little crazy working on this custom order for sympathy cards. I really love the way they turned out. Now I’m trying to decide if I should add them to my online shop, or keep tweaking. Sometimes I make myself a little nutty overthinking things! Anyone with me in that?! Happy Friday, all!
Treasures of the season: sweet autumn clematis and red crabapples. Not from my garden, but #foundandforaged Happy Tuesday, all! P.S. Two great hashtags: #botanicalforagersunitedsocietyinc @smallacornsamanda #petalsinprettyrings @traceyjhunter @sarahbecvardesign
These vibrant Tithonia flowers have brought me so much joy this summer and after reading interesting conversations about color started by both @jannelford and @sarahgardnerphotography this week, I thought I’d share a little story: I never liked orange, and then one of my sons loved orange so much as a little boy that I went out of my way to find him orange clothes and he liked to go to school wearing orange, head to toe. So, of course, I started to love the color and even this summer, planted these Tithonia in my garden, thinking of him. He’s a teenager now and not really so into orange and possibly not that into flowers either but he still brings sunshine into my life. Hope your weekend filled with sunshine too! Happy Friday, my friends!
Another day, another dahlia. This one for one of my favorite hashtags: #booksandbotanicals @rubyandivy Check out my stories if you want to see the exciting package I got yesterday!
Hello, October! Garden Dahlias with leaves from my smoke bush. You can’t see it in my photo, but the leaves have a delicate blush to their veins, which perfectly complements the blush in the flowers. Sharing that little detail on my stories today. Happy Monday, all!
If you saw my stories yesterday, you’ll know I’m filling Christmas/ holiday orders for retail shops. Since I know you’re probably not thinking that far ahead (I’m currently telling my kids: no Halloween decorations until October!) I’m posting this little reminder that I have all seasons in my online shop, including this transition time of slowly crisping leaves and waving wildflowers, and tangly herbs gone wild. Happy Thursday, all!
Recently, I had fun making this arrangement for a flower show, where it took second place in a ‘miniatures’ category. The judges comments were: ‘the shiny silver container detracts from the beauty of the flowers.’ They were so right! But I didn’t see it before. Telling you this, not to point out what’s wrong with this, but to say, wow, isn’t it great to keep learning, growing, and improving?! Hope your day is filled with all of the above! #ihavethisthingfortinyflowers #booksandbotanicals EDIT: it was only last week, but I’m remembering this took third (second was a different arrangement, different category) Clearly, I’m challenged in the ‘remembering details’ department 😁
This semi-wreath was a little creative exercise on my kitchen counter, after I used these same #japaneseanomes for white board photos for #bottlebranch paper goods. And guess what?! The arrangements and images turned out differently. The creative process is always full of surprises, isn’t it?! I put a preview of the alternate photos in stories in case you’re curious. #createeveryday #serendipitystyling
September Bounty for some of my favorite hashtags #moodforfloral #flowerslovethedark Swipe to see the whole arrangement. Happy Friday, all! #flowersfrommygarden
Dahlia season musings: the two flowers on the counter are from the same plant, a ‘Penhill Watermelon’ dahlia. It’s the only dahlia I have that shows so much variability in flower color. I wonder why? Anyone know? Close ups in my stories. #sinkfullofflowers
