Happy Spring Equinox!

Decadently fragrant tulips from Six Dutchess Farm in one of my hand-built waxflower pressed vases.

It’s a very rainy evening in Hastings tonight — and hopefully a nice deep drink for our thousands of field tulips. Can’t wait to see who shows up first this year!

Happy New 2024! I’ve been to CA and back. Holidays with family that included a slew of Covid and stomach viruses, precious time with old friends, time in the studio making more pottery, reading Late Migrations by .renkl and a beautiful snowfall last weekend to greet the new year in NY. I’m honestly craving more time to hibernate, rest, and reflect…but the seeds are calling and I’ll bring them upstairs soon to start planning. Wishing you all good health and adventures ahead in 2024!

My rose whisper came for a visit this month. No one knows roses quite like my mom, and she seriously kicked my butt in the field. May I be lucky enough to have her supernatural levels of energy and continued delight at getting dirty outdoors with flowers when I’m almost 80. Thankful.

Mum madness! It’s a real thing.

I love the fragrance of their fresh cut stems and these hardy work-horses of the flower world keep pumping out blooms when all the others have crashed with the frost. They are our last hurrah before winter rest and what an amazing finale!

Straight bunches and mixed bouquets with the last of our dahlias are available all week.

DM me if you’d like to treat yourself or someone you love to these local, seasonal, and sustainable beauties.
