UNIQUE LA x TIGERS to LILIES

Back in May, TIGERS to LILIES had the unique task of adding 'life' to the Unique LA event by bringing in plants/trees/flower boxes along with our brand of hand-welded plant stands. Unique LA is a  weekend mart for all creatives here in Los Angeles - a showcase and opportunity for local brands to introduce their products and shine. Working alongside one of my brothers, we managed to add some much needed green spirit to the large space and couldn't have been more proud!

I still operate from a family-base, meaning that when I need something designed/welded/built/created/delivered (sometimes by motorcycle!) I turn to either one of my adeptly skilled brothers, my husband Elijah, or my assistant Jessica. We are a tight unit and operate very well together. Something that I am quite proud of and most grateful for.

Thank you again Unique LA! 

Maman

This is my (really beautiful) mom teaching two of her three little ducks to swim in Spain some Summer ago. I never really share pictures of my family here, but I want to dedicate this post to her. She is my constant cheerleader, mentor, graceful adviser and ever beautiful bird of love. (See I told you, every day can be mother's day...). Merci miman.

BEAT!

I am SO beat after this looong mother's day weekend! WOW. It was fantastic and wonderful but I'm not going to lie, A LOT OF WORK. I've decided that this week is going to be my stay-cation week! Besides school and a photography assignment for school, I'm not going to do much else but catch up on sleep, do some cooking + baking, Spring cleaning too, long walks with V.v. and some much needed quality time with Elijah. Pretty grand and very much needed. Have you taken a stay-cation before? So far, so great for me...

My lovely friend Leona and I kicked off my stay-cation yesterday listening to records while making a saffron + peach jam with peaches that we picked from her tree! Leo also muddled some left over peaches and made us Irish Peaches to drink! This is a wonderful way to spend the day. Have you ever made jam before? Drank an Irish Peach?

As for the events of this past weekend, I have so much to share and show you but it will have to wait. For those of you who stopped by, it was so nice to meet you. Did you have a nice mother's day weekend?

* * *A most tremendous and heartfelt *thank you* to both Elijah & Lauren for all of their help this past weekend too. Certainly could not have done it without them* * *

 XOXO to all the mother's out there!

Shelter Half + Daily Candy

Ummm, so this is pretty exciting. Have you heard of Shelter Half here in Los Angeles? It's a pretty rad pop-up of amazing designers, records, rare books, photography, stellar furniture and home goods + organic products in an incredibly large and extremely well curated space. Good vibes all around. They have asked me to have a TIGERS to LILIES pop-up for the month of June (I am honored), and in the meantime, I'll be dropping off little arrangements to celebrate mother's day this Saturday and Sunday. Pretty cool. I highly recommend checking them out: you'll probably spend some time simply hanging out in their super beautiful and comfortable sofas leafing through an exceptionally good book while listening to some old records. You must say hello to Virginie, too. Doesn't get much cooler than her...

*also, the ad doesn't give credit to Silver Lake Farms which is how I can even go about starting my mornings in the fields. Tara Kolla's extremely hard work, dedication, research, sweat and heart is inspiring on so many different levels. It's all thanks to her we (and I) can have wildflowers that are not only organic but peaceful and prepossessing. Thank you Tara!

Lastly, a little snippet in Daily Candy is certainly a nice way to start the day. Thank you Daily Candy!

Echo Park Craft Fair!

...pretty exciting! Even if they did list me as Flower to Lilies...hehe

I hope that you come!
