A kiss…

Ellen — Tue, 24 Jan 2012 00:03:35 +0000

“Give me a kiss, and to that kiss a score;

Then to that twenty, add a hundred more;

A thousand to that hundred; so kiss on,

To make that thousand up a million.

Treble that million, and when that is done,

Let’s kiss afresh as when we first begun.”

Robert Herrick (1591 – 1674)

First snow falls

Summer couldn’t possibly go on forever… although I was lost in that fantasy. The warm weather lingered and stalled and was thoroughly enjoyed for a good long spell. The lavender and rosemary has survived the chill but it’s time to harvest the stragglers in the herb gardens. We are drying herbs around the clock and have plenty to share with the kitchens in the area. I would love to design a full herbal bouquet for a beautiful hippie bride.

Worth It

Enhance the beauty of your venue with your signature touches here and there around the site. Use lovely vases from your family’s cabinets… or rent fabulous ones from your floral designer.

Enjoy life… It’s delicious!

“Do not hire a man who does your work for money, but him who does it for the love of it.”
Henry David Thoreau
I absolutely love weddings. My vocation is my passion- lucky, lucky me. I love getting to know the bride and groom. I love designing the “perfect” bouquet. I love being creative with Mother Nature’s wonderful treasures. I love being a part of life’s precious moments. I have a happy heart! I wish YOU joy in this new year!

Hope is the thing with feathers…

As we enter a brand new year one with hope and anticipation, this favorite poem from Emily Dickinson says it for me…

Hope is the thing with feathers

That perches in the soul,

And sings the tune without words,

And never stops at all,

And the sweetest in the gale is heard;

And sore must be the storm

That could abash the little bird

That kept so many warm.

I’ve heard it in the chillest land,

And on the strangest sea;

Yet, never, in extremity,

It asked a crumb of me.

Hoping the littlest pleasures make this new year especially wonderful for you all …

… our gardens lie still under the snow fall

Our four legged and winged friends move gracefully and purposefully in the cold. The ponds have slow movement below the layer of ice. Yet, a few frozen flowers still hold their heads high. We harvested the herb plots so subtle whiffs of lavender, rosemary and thyme hang drying and fill the air of my studio. As I organize photos from weddings past, I am warmed by the smiles of each bride with her bouquet I created just for her. What a joy my work yields… my heart is full. Thanks to each and every one of you for the pleasure! And to my December and January brides – I can’t wait!
