Exciting changes ahead

For the past five months my life has been in transition. Moving out, living the nomad life for a bit, moving in to what once was the old Jail in Old Town, and working to figure out how to navigate getting my little flower business back up to speed in a new yet familiar setting.

There is much creativity here in my new neighborhood, and so many sources of inspiration. I've been slowly working on developing my brand, and am starting to see it take shape. EXCITING!

Been fascinated by lights, brights and darks

Soon to come, the new logo and name, and some opportunities to join in the fun of creating alongside friends and new folks who enjoy playing with the good things of nature.

I hope you'll consider joining me!

The glory of small things

Fall always brings opportunities to get outside for those few last balmy days, before the sunshine provides too little warmth, and sweaters, scarves, coats and hats must be brought from their summer hiding places. 

For the past few years this weekend has had some glorious weather, creating a spectacular backdrop for the weddings I've worked. No wonder the fall is so popular with brides, especially here in Virginia.

But soon, tea will be brewed, books will be read, evenings will lengthen as the days compress. 

There is a sense that things are closing in, getting smaller day by day, in a cozy, happy way. As I catch a whiff of wood fires and drying leaves I'm reminded how grateful I am for the glory of small things. 


What is it about those small details? They either jar, or delight, and reveal whether something is shoddily done, or truly beautiful and made with care. The smallest bit can draw you in, causing you to focus, to stop, to truly see.









Beauty has the power to arrest us, to get our attention, with a quick breath drawn, and a satisfied sigh on the after-side. 

Weddings are beautiful because of the small things....so many details, lovingly brought together, to bring joy to the beloved person, and all the family and friends. Weddings celebrate the small details of family life, those bits of personality and taste that each person contributes.

So don't go overboard, but enjoy those little details that make your wedding yours!
