A few months ago, an editor at Richmond Magazine reached out to see if I would be interested in sharing some of my wedding creations for an upcoming article. I asked if I was happy to do so, and then with the hubbub of the holidays, I forgot all about it!
Read MoreIf you’re like me, you’ve just (barely) put away your Christmas decorations, and now things are feeling a bit glum. That’s why I thought I’d start the year with some fun gifts for Valentine’s Day that can also add some freshness and cheer to your home until Spring arrives.
Send these to your loved ones, or treat yourself, and hopefully, they’ll help get this year off to a lovely start!
Read MoreI’m ecstatic to share this year’s holiday collection! I wanted to make sure everyone had options, so this set is full of gifts and holiday decor of all sizes. Here’s a rundown!
Read MoreLast year, Mother’s Day was busier than ever before—something I hadn’t quite anticipated. This year I vowed that I would launch the collection earlier in March so that I’d have even more time to make as many gifts as possible.
And I made it! With hours to spare! So before all those hilarious April Fools jokes start rolling in, I’m going to make this one quick!
Read MoreAs the first holiday of the year, I wanted to use Valentine’s Day to bring a little optimism to 2021. Winter isn’t my favorite time of year, and I know I can always use some extra help remembering that sunnier times are on the way.
So since I may have ventured a bit beyond the traditional Valentine’s palette, I hope you don’t mind a little pop of color to start your year.
Read MoreFull confession: I was worried this collection wasn’t going to happen! I had to forgo my Fall collection to keep up with orders, but I just couldn’t let that happen again. Not for Christmas! So while I had designs for about 80 or 90 pieces I wanted to make, I had to restrain myself a bit. But that doesn’t mean I limited the fun. This is the best time of year, after all!
Read MoreAfter a slight change in plans, I’m happy to announce that my first fine art piece is currently available to view (or purchase!) at Quirk Gallery!
My piece, entitled A Compendium of Roses, is a part of a more extensive group exhibition called Roses are Red. It features works from artists in varied disciplines and media that incorporate plants, botanicals, flowers, and floral elements.
Read MoreA couple of weeks ago, I noticed an even higher than usual surge in emails about my Paperversary bouquets. I didn’t think anything of it at first. Summer weddings aren’t quite as popular as other as spring and fall, but they’re still prevalent. Nothing unusual. But the recurring dates seemed mysterious.
So I did a little digging and discovered this article: “27 of the Best 1st Anniversary Gift Ideas That Will Make Your Partner Swoon.” And sure enough, BRIDES put my Paperversary bouquets on the list!
Read MoreHere we go again! Coming off a very recent Perennial Collection relaunch, it seems weird for me to write another blog post on this topic. But, although we all seem to be losing the sense of what day or week or month it is these days, it is that time of year when we cannot forget to celebrate Mom!!
Read MoreIt might seem a bit odd to release a big new collection right now. I have to admit, I’ve held off for the past couple of weeks because I’ve felt conflicted in doing so. There are more critical things to worry about than flowers these days, right?
Read MoreLike last week, I wanted to share another project that embraced the spirit of the season—and this one surely fits the bill!
Read MoreFor the next few posts, I’ve picked out a couple of Valentine’s Day-worthy projects. These unique bouquets are packed with roses and sweet, romantic details that, while not gifted initially this time of year, feel entirely appropriate for the season!
Read MoreAs I’ve stated in so many of these blog posts, anniversary gifts and wedding bouquet recreations are perhaps my favorite projects of all. I’ve built up quite a catalog over the past two years, and I consider myself a bit of a specialist in this field now. (If there is to be one, then I think I qualify!) Not only do I love to collaborate on a great surprise, but I get the honor to create a meaningful gift that helps two people relive one of the best days of their lives. What could be better?
Read MoreValentine’s Day has always been one of my favorite holidays—long before the days when I even had an actual Valentine to celebrate. I remember delivering handmade cards to every one of my classmates. I miss that widespread tradition of Valentine’s giving! Why did we ever stop?
