Last Year's Tendrils

You can probably guess that this arrangement is somehow related to the last post of the bouquet with "Everything I had". You're right. I reconfigured the pieces adding some to compose the aforementioned bouquet. A sprawling arrangement made in an old tarnished silver revere bowl containing dried Clematis tendrils (from last year's display), English Ivy, Pussy Willow, Delphinium, Cherry Branches, Queen Anne's lace, Skimia, Astrantia, young Parrot tulips, Poppies and Hyacinth. I'd like to see this on an escort table surrounded by assorted pewter candlesticks- maybe an old candelabra for good measure. The lost garden above is from one of my favorite garden paths at Lowther Castle in England. A tour of long lost gardens in Europe is in the works!

Winter? Fast Forward- Spring

A sweet arrangement for a mother expecting twins. Ingredients include Garden Roses, Icelandic Poppies, Parrot Tulips, Queen Anne's Lace, Dusty Miller, Fringed tulips, Begonia Blossoms, Fritillaria, Jasmine, Seeded Eucalyptus, White Cherry, Stock and Phlox.

Coral Compote

I've been collecting these dolphin compote dishes with the hope of using them at the right event. They are the perfect height and size for a pedestal vessel and imbue the table with nostalgia and romanticism.

Don't Worry, Be Happy

A Blush of Spring

Today handsome men all over the city were in their finest suits leaving their coats at home. First sign of Spring.
