Autumn rings in...

I'm so bad at posting my thoughts and daily happenings in a timely manner.  I really will work on this!

First, here is an image of a design named 'Tapestry'.  This was put together rather quickly--sometimes those are the best! The materials are mostly from my own garden--the exceptions being the pomegranates, and the black baccara roses.  I named it Tapestry because...that's what it looks like to me--an old priceless piece of tapestry taken from a castle wall somewhere in the deep woods of Ireland...or Scotland (miss Snapdragon Jayne that was for you!) Anyway, back to California--So of course this piece was put together for a purpose, and it came about with a phone call from the editor of Santa Cruz Magazine who knew I really know how to whip out a spectacular floral design :)  Anyway it will be featured in their 'faves' section of the Holiday issue due out in November.  I'll post a link when it's there! AND if your interested in ordering this hot little babe check out Tapestry on our web site. 

Second, can you even believe this...the Amy Stewart book-signing came and went --fabulously I should add, and MY CAMERA BATTERY WAS DEAD AND I COULD NOT FIND MY CHARGER.  uugggghhh!!! I'm so mad.  We had so much fun though--all went so well but I was a little dis-heartened at the turn-out, about 75 people.  I don't know I guess I was expecting an onslaught since I sent out so many e-blasts, and post cards, but I'm being told that if I got 2% in attendance then that's pretty good--so I'm happy.  Thank you Amy for being there, and to all our flower girls--I love you guys so much.

And last, currently I'm preparing for a workshop this weekend--it's for Fall Centerpieces.  Check out Fall Centerpieces for more info on this--and all you locals, I hope to see you there!  It's going to be luscious!
