changes / movement / details

wildflower hunting this morning for valentine's day! one of my favorite things to do ;)

Hi friends, I just want to check in for a moment. A few new things:

* So, TIGERS to LILIES has a new logo. I really loved the old one but I felt it was time for a change, especially because I am in the middle of so many changes, so why not here too? I would really like to know what you think of it?

* I've been working hard on my website, which is still yet to be up, but I also have been working on this which I very much am happy about. Please have a visit and let me know your thoughts:

* I have been working a ton in my studio too, which means that I am taking a bit longer to respond to emails and comments, but please know that I appreciate all of them. I do. Have I ever mentioned to you that my spirit animal might just be the trusted snail...

* Lastly, this year for Valentine's Day I am trying to create something really unique and special. My friends over at En Soie have generously lent me their space and beautiful work table to hold a temporary space for TIGERS to LILIES on Valentine's Day. I am working hard to hunt down wildflowers that haven't been sprayed and are freely growing. Bouquets will be available at Cookbook Market in Echo Park, the Urban Radish downtown in the Arts District and over at Shelter Half on La Brea. I will be in-store personally at En Soie in Silver Lake to make bouquets per order. My wonderfully talented friend and chef extraordinaire Eden Batki is preparing to bake herbal donuts too, available to pre-order or to simply purchase at En Soie day-of. Seriously waaay stoked about this combination: wildflowers + donuts! Two of my favorite things! Shoot me an email if you would like more details -- we are creating the flavors of the donuts over the weekend and I will know more by the end of the weekend. Many more details on Monday!

I think that covers mostly everything. Excuse the verbose entry today. Lots to share. Thank you for visiting and for your support. Always, Lili x

Wildflowers for your (and my) mom!

Hi friends! Lots of fun in order this weekend all to celebrate moms! TIGERS to LILIES will be:

• at COOKBOOK (Echo Park)

Sat 5/11 + Sun 5/12

I'm dropping off insanely beautiful bouquets of wild garden roses Sat + Sun to Cookbook, kindly foraged from Rose Lane Farms. Thank you so much Lynne!

• at the Ermie table at the Echo Park Craft Fair

Sat 5/11 + Sun 5/12

12 - 6pm

Lovely Jennifer of Ermie has paired me up with the insanely talented artist Emilie Halpern. I did tiny arrangements for her winsome ceramics line being sold this weekend at Ermie's table. Seriously good scores at her table, including work from dear friends Lauren Spencer King + Claire Cottrell. Jennifer's line is to covet, and my dear friend Britt Browne will also have a table there. In other words, you should stop by. Thank you Jennifer!

• at SHELTER HALF

12 - 6pm

I'll be at the store in person, making arrangements for you! All foraged by me from Rose Lane Farms + Muir Ranch! That means that all my flowers are local, seasonal, and pesticide-free! Very, very special indeed. Stop by and say hello! Thank you so much Lynne & Mud Baron!

* * *Happy Mother's Day to you, miman* * *

Yes, I just posted a really large amount of photos back-to-back and I hope that you don't mind. I have wanted to share all of these flowers with you for quite some time now. Some are for fashion editorials, some for friends, some for weddings, some for collaborations, some for spaces, some are simply just because and some are from wedding-y ceremonies. But all sprout from a wild garden that is rooted deeply in my spirit and steadily growing further and further out, wrapping itself around my veins and continuing to advance further with every pump of my heart. I hope that you enjoy them too. 

just to reiterate...

Wreath by artist Lauren Spencer King (one of many drawings she will be selling)!

and one more ;)

SO this is it, an incredible summer party waiting to unfold for you tomorrow night! TIGERS to LILIES is extremely honored and proud to throw you a a midsummer fête, and here are some of the wondrous favors that await you:

Lauren Spencer King will be there and holding her own space with prints of her unbelievably beautiful line drawings and limited edition framed + signed originals!

Claire Cottrell will be sharing her short film Audrey Grace around an other-worldly art installation that will be sure to have you mesmerized by it's drenching beauty.

I'm going to be showing, for the very first time, some black and white 35mm photography inspired by the film. Yes, I'm nervous...and really excited...and anxious...and nervous, but excited...+ you know that wildflowers will dominate the scene! I've created 2 of the teeniest mobiles out of dried pressed wildflowers too!

James and Elijah (yes wonderful, lovely, handsome Elijah) will be there pouring drinks to your heart's content: on the menu is a lavender lemonade (spiked or not) + Pisco Punch! SOOO good! These boys worked hard on this menu!

Grilled cheeses + pies + a summer cake from the Pie Stand!
