Sedum sprung

Our little Hens and chicks are about to flower!

This little pot reminds me of a small foreign world... the very beginning of a terrarium. I have been emailed this NY Times article about terrariums by a number of friends. I am glad this gardening craft is taking off. Pretty timely too after making that custom terrarium last week. Here is another I made at the same time

The article mentioned Small World Terrariums. I love seeing the green growing work of others. She specializes in terrariums for special events too!

bud vases

Perfect for a beach wedding! Or a little spring picnic.

Stem

We stopped by the new flower shop in our neighborhood over the weekend. It is a cozy beautiful space. Stem is at 112 South Oxford in Fort Greene.

A Friend's Shower

I had the pleasure of co-hosting my friend Ali's wedding shower. My friend Tawana Schlegel, who did the flowers for our wedding, helped me with the flowers. Tawana sourced them locally from The River Garden. They are in the Union Square Farmer's Market on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays.

We used a variety of vessels, some from My Craven Home prototype collection. I really love seeing things I create being used for a meaningful day. So for this, thanks to my co-hosts for letting me join in the fun.

The Maid-of-Honor, Jennie (who came up from DC to host despite being right smack in the middle of beating ovarian and uterine cancers), blogs about the good times here.

The initial floral chaos.

An oblong raku fired vase- since this arrangement I have been inspired to make a variety of these, seen above also.
