The tales of a florist, stylist, and photographer keepin' it simple in the Bay Area, California. This is the home to my stories, inspirations, photography & (when I get really lucky) travels. You can email me
And just like that, we bid farewell to dahlia season.  It’s similar to a nasty break-up I knew would happen, but didn’t want it to.  The bright side is that new flowers are emerging and are just as beautiful as the next.  I had the pleasure of catching up with a good friend of mine over the phone today—sometimes you get so hopped up on caffeine and work adrenaline that you forget that there is a big world out there filled with a few good friends that I’d like to have in my life a bit more often.  On the bright side of that, my new job is going swimmingly which makes for this season of change all the more manageable.  I do, however, feel the need to take a bit of time for myself—to really grow an appreciation for all that is happening around me, and to feel really small in a good way.

The truth is: I’ve died and gone to flower heaven.  The company I’m working for uses the most beautiful materials.  I’m learning a lot, and I couldn’t ask for a better place to do so. These are Juliets—a variety of David Austin English roses, and are things that I hope to be surrounded by all day every day.  I once heard of a florist who thought that these types of roses were defected, and threw them all away.  Lord all mighty. Apologies for the neglect of this blog lately—I have thought of you fondly and frequently and am looking forward to catching up on all of your lives on this blogosphere we have here. I also hope that all of you on the East Coast are staying safe and dry.  I have thought about you all fondly as well.
