all the yellow hues and seashell textures...peak summer🌼🐚

when making arrangements with garden flowers just for me {not for an order or an event}, I almost never pick the freshest blooms, I leave those for the pollinators and birds. It’s usually the faded colors, the one in need of deadheading so more blooms continue to grow or stems already dried in need of sake-keeping for cooler months. Yet something lovely and a moment of joy is always created — and as always, no floral foam is used! Here reusable chicken wire creates an organic flow and movement to an arrangement, that foam could never. and more importantly, isn’t toxic.

Figs fill me with memories of summers in Portugal, surrounded by farmlands and mountain views. Of a determined grandfather who’d stand watch of birds for hours, so we’d have plenty of fruit to savor. A reminder of a great love. Grapes bring back the images of sitting beneath the shady vines, watching as they changed colors along the season....

They say it’s Sardine summer, and well, that gives me a chuckle. If Portuguese, then sardine summer is every year, it’s our way of life. We're born with the notion that summers revolve around grilled sardines. And come June the air is perfumed with the land and sea. The scents of grilled sardines, peppers and febras fill the breeze, and we gather around a table sharing broa to soak up the salted olive oil....

Living in an online world as we do, sometimes we connect with people and artists over years who then feel like longtime friends; and yet we never actually "meet." That was the case for Angela and I, first connecting in 2018 for a client's wedding, when she was illustrating and creating custom pieces. And so time passed, constantly inspired by each other's work....

“In the garden, it is not so unhappy” - Vincent Van Gogh

especially when the garden welcomes you with a rainbow of zinnias that bring the butterflies and bees. and tomatoes bursting with the best of summer flavors. Feels lovely getting back into creating with flowers and bits from the garden and I couldn’t wait to put something together in this ceramic bowl brought back from Obidos💐

…as always no floral foam was used, because there’s no need for that toxic stuff…

As creatives we all go through our own style seasons. Ones where we're inspired and drawn more so to a particular aesthetic, flower, technique or color. And last summer was that for me, where I was in an "organic contemporary" phase with the intention of honing in on other floral design skills. I naturally created mono-singular centerpieces, where I used one type of flower to create contemporary designs still in a natural-garden style, and even in vintage or non-traditional vessels....

They say it’s Sardine summer...& that makes me chuckle. If Portuguese, then sardine summer is every year, it’s a way of life. Come June the air is perfumed with the land and sea. Grilled sardines and peppers, gathering round a table sharing broa to soak up the salted olive oil. Raising a glass of wine. Flowers are not fussy; tiny colorful blooms like the streamers hung above roads and herbs picked from the garden. Most likely a piece of barro or heirloom linen adorns a tabletop. And we indulge in cherries picked right from the tree, soaking up every bit of the lingering sun.

That was very much the inspiration to this playful summer centerpiece. A gathering of tidbits that effortlessly look and celebrate the feeling of summer, and joy of doing nothing🌿🍒

To create with flowers grown, with my hands and heart, adds a level of connection to every arrangement I make. No matter how simple or small, each piece is living art that tells our story. Every bloom a gift from mother nature, one I’m lucky to work with and preserve. Even if for a brief moment in time. F…...

“It was June, and the world smelled of roses…” — Maud Hart Lovelace
..well in this case, the last of the season’s peonies. not fine art nor a contemporary arrangement. not because ideas failed me, but I didn’t want to create something stylized or detailed just for the gram. simply a trio of peonies, two different ways, spotlighting their ruffly colored petals and delicate fragrance with a few thingamabobs just how they would be placed around the home🌸

Along with the regions of Serra da Estrela and Lisboa, whenever I'm in Portugal I tend to spend time in Entroncamento where a dear aunt resides. Last Autumn, we made the most of the hot, very late summer days and cooled off at Aldeia do Mato and explored Dornes in the Ferreira do Zêzere. Located in the central region of Portugal within the fertile Santarém District, it's perfectly situated to make full day adventures of many locations....

Spring is everything winter is not, where it stays and lingers within your bones. Spring comes slowly, then quickly breezes through its passing stages. It reminds us every year, even as the days grow longer, how truly fleeting life is. And nothing shows this more than the first blooming flowers. The Tulips greet the sun, then wither as the warmth grows....
