from the garden
Spring has finally arrived and I can now stroll through the garden with clippers and whip together bouquets whenever the urge strikes. This luxury makes all of the toil so very worth it : )
This guy is 100% organic and local in the purest sense.
Love the blues and peaches together. Gorgeous work! Is your season flying as fast as ours?! Also wanted to thank you for the flax and cerinthe recommendations in GFM. They have been awesome.
I love this so much!!! There is something about these early spring pastels that makes me feel so hopeful- the complete embodiment of spring and new beginnings :)
Hello! I found your blog yesterday via http://waywardspark.com/ and have been reading just about nonstop since! Your life is so interesting and your flower arrangements are absolutely gorgeous! It's full of lots of useful information, too. (I plan to grow flowers once I can aford a bit of land.) Thanks for maintaining such a fascinating blog!
The shape of that arrangement is amazing! Wondering what the flowers are anchored in...foam? wire?
ReplyDeletei used an old flower frog : ) it is magic for getting a nice relaxed arrangement.
Deleteno fair...such loveliness
ReplyDeleteThis is stunning!
ReplyDeleteStunning! Thanks for sharing this beautiful arrangement...and keep enjoying all the hard work :)
ReplyDeleteDoesn't it seem like it was just cold and dark?
ReplyDeleteAnd now?
Look at that.

I always thought you couldn't put daffodils in a bouquet because they would cause the rest of the flowers to wilt too fast. Is this a myth?
ReplyDeletethey do shorten the vase life of other blooms in the vase, by about 3-4 days but since this was for me i just couldn't resist tucking them in : )
DeleteDefinitely worth it. Those bouquets are just gorgeous. The colors are wonderful.
DeleteGorgeous Erin! Isn't it so wonderful to finally have beauties from the garden after this long winter?
ReplyDeleteYes STUNNING - so, so beautiful. I bet those naricissus smell amazing....
ReplyDeleteSo pretty, I love the smell of a great Viburnum.

ReplyDeleteoh, so glad they are working for you too!
DeleteI'm guessing chicken wire or a frog. Foam just doesn't let the flowers relax like that. Beautiful Erin - so so beautiful.
ReplyDeletethanks!
Deletep.s. frog is correct
