EMILY THOMPSON FLOWERS / The Garden Edit

There is an inherent generosity to floristry that is also very present here despite all the hard edge we’ve been talking about. Flowers are a gift. The garden in front of the shop is a gift to our neighbours and a gift to the passers-by. Even this store is a gift. Obviously receiving our flowers is a gift! But it’s a gift to all of us that get to work in this context. There is an effort towards some kind of purity in our work, an aesthetic purity more than anything.

-Emily Thompson for The Garden Edit

Take a moment to read what the very savvy, well-spoken and wonderful Emily Thompson has to say in regards to flowers in this triumphant article! I AGREE WITH IT ALL. Especially what people expect when they receive flowers - this sort of trained in-the-box view of what flowers 'should' be as determined by whom exactly?  I know that there is a shift in the paradigm of the flower world that is slowly but surely happening and I want to be at the forefront of it. Bravo Emily and team!

OUTTAKES FROM THE NORTON SIMON MUSEUM

Last Sunday was one of the brightest highlights of all my floral work over the past years: I was honored with the opportunity to teach a workshop at the Norton Simon Museum! I married two subjects that I love so dearly for this workshop: storytelling + flower arranging. What a wonderful, fun-filled afternoon we had all set in the zen garden at the museum! Above are a few outtakes from my workshop. I have to say that I am always so touched by everyone's intentions behind their creations, especially so when they share their stories at the end of class. Every story was so different and every arrangement stood apart. They were stunning! Such keen floral work and with such nuanced intentions. I was very proud of everyone who participated.

More stories and wildflowers here

Thank you so kindly to everyone who showed up and participated in this afternoon of flowers and stories. It was an honor to have you! 

A huge heartfelt THANK YOU to the Norton Simon museum for this gracious opportunity!

EVOLVE / The Ecology Center

I couldn't be more honored to be featured on the cover of Issue 10/Fall 2014 of The Ecology Center's beautifully curated eco-journal, Evolve. Seriously, thank you! Have a peek through the issue - it will tell you about the upcoming Maker's Market (that is happening this Sat) and give you a nice overview of what The Ecology Center is about. Coincidentally very  much what the spirit of TIGERS to LILIES philosophy for keeping things wild and natural is all about too.

Thank you Evan, Kristin, Ann + David

Freunde von Freunden Outtakes

 

 

all photos by claire cottrell

Hi friends.  I have a very special post to share with you tonight and I have been wanting to share this with you for a long while now. I know that I don't really share much about my personal life here. I did share our wedding with tid bits here and there but tonight I would like to quietly share with you mine and Elijah's home. 

My very dear friend Claire Cottrell suggested us to Freunde von Freunden and not only wrote about us but took all of these beautiful photos. When we were first asked to do this I was so honored and excited but then felt a bit reluctant to share because we live a pretty modest life. We don't really own a lot of fancy objects or furniture but what we do have is a lot of love and I feel that Claire captured that with her interview and photos! Furthermore the three of us had a really heartfelt and fun day when this was shot and I sincerely hope that you feel the love and good vibes too. These are the outtakes and you can see the final shots and read our interview here.

Thank you so kindly Claire + Fvf! We are beyond touched and honored.

(Funny too that we actually have five cats but funny enough all of the other four were being shy this day so you get to meet Osa, our youngest black and white cat).
