LFC goes to New York City

We had the pleasure of attending a design workshop with the crazy talented ladies of Poppies & Posies earlier this month down in NYC.  It was an incredible learning experience  and a treat to sip bubbly and work with the most premium blooms possible.   It's also nice to feel like part of a community when your in this whole independent business world.   We worked with lovely crimson tones to create wild garden inspired arrangements - my favorite.  Amy Azzarito of Design Sponge was there to take notes & Jorge de la Barra captured the day beautifully. 

Country Living

Sometimes I almost forget how much our lives have changed since our move, until I have my girlfriends - who live in Boston - come out for a weekend getaway.  It's hard to compare our little town's hot spots (as great as they are!) with the thrill of the City, but I think that's part of the charm.  Oh, but then there are moments like when I visit my brother in law's beautiful chickens, and I have no trouble remembering where we are.

Sakonnet Vineyards

I had the pleasure of creating some fall inspired florals for the last ISES-Rhode Island Meeting which was held at Sakonnet Vineyards in Little Compton, RI.  The property is undergoing some exciting new changes and is a must see if you are looking for a breath taking venue for an outdoor vineyard wedding.  With the setting in mind we created very seasonal and organic arrangements in vintage milk glass vessels full of rich texture.

Studio Revamp

I have my sights set on a make over for our studio this Winter (I will spare you the before picture for right now!)  and I'm on the hunt for the perfect work station. I came across a real beauty - unfortunately it's no longer for sale, and it comes with a pretty hefty price tag.  It's ok though,  will definitely be using this as inspiration for some serious antiquing.

South Shore Country Living

There are so many reasons I love living in this part of the country.  Fall in New England is my absolute favorite and we have been really enjoying our first Autumn living out in the "country". We have farms galore and beautiful country roads chock full of cranberry bogs and crimson leaves to take you there, it's almost too picturesque to believe these days.  (Really trying to soak it in before the snow and harsh coastal winter winds shoo us indoors!)  This past weekend my husband and I went to a favorite spot, Sauchuck Farms, for our annual dose of Pumpkins & Cider.  

Its so serene out there, and the ride home takes us past a favorite antique shop, what's better than that?
