Have pity on those who are fearful of taking up a pen, or a paintbrush, or an instrument, or a tool because they are afraid that someone has already done so better than they could..." —Paulo Coelho, The Pilgrimage

🌸I love using low bowl vases with wider openings to create an arrangement. Try it out sometime for yourself. Use a little floral chicken wire to help hold the stems in place and just add here and there. Have fun 🤗

🌸 I put together some zinnia arrangements. Sometimes all you need is a cute ribbon and some simplicity. The colors create the magic.

The life each of us lives is the life within the limits of our own thinking. To have life more abundant, we must think in the limitless terms of abundance.
- Thomas Dreier

Each week my thoughts tend to drag me toward worrying if there will be enough flowers.
Each week there is an abundance of flowers.
Abundance is the heart of God for my life…for your life 🩷💛🧡

The greatest gift of the garden is the restoration of the five senses.
- Hanna Rion (1874-1924)

Stop, look, and listen.
What a beautiful sight.
Look at that bee.
Isn’t that magnificent?
Do you want to learn how to grow a cut-flower garden?
I would love to help you!
Flowers to give away.
A sweet, summer bouquet for your kitchen table.
More pollinators near your veggie garden.
A reason to get off your phone and out in the sunshine.
A place to rest your thoughts when your world feels overwhelming.
The joy of learning something new.
I could go on and on.
I want to share my love of cut-flowers with you.
Look for more information regarding this in the months ahead, but allow yourself the possibility of dreaming of a beautiful cut garden now.
Prune and bloom 🌸🌼🌸

🌼 The blooms are so beautiful despite the rain and wind they went through last week. That’s a lesson for us all. One cut flower after another and a beautiful bouquet came together.

🌼 Salmon, Carmine Rose, Pink, and Golden yellow zinnias. Salmon and Bright Rose strawflowers. Terracotta celosia. Jewels of Opar and eucalyptus.

🌼 See you today at Monticello Farmers' Market from 3pm-6pm

See you soon 🌼

Rejoice in the Lord always: and again I say, rejoice. - Philippians 4:4

It’s been kinda a tough week.
Disappointing.
Thankful.
The whole spectrum.
In all things, I rejoice.
This bucket of blooms looked beautiful just sitting in the sink after I added some water because the bucket with the flowers had spilled over in the field…of course 😑
I’m not good at “positive thinking” but I can get on board with things that are true, lovely, pure, and praiseworthy.
These blooms fit that description and changed my heart.

This has been a prune and bloom kinda week 🌸
