Hello! 👋

I’ve been mostly off of the socials for over a month now after wrapping up my 7th growing season. It was an amazing, exhilarating year, but after a record-setting dried flower blitz in September/October the end-of-season burnout was pretty intense. I compensated by completely cocooning. 😮‍💨 No garden clean up, no last-chance bouquets, no garden strolls, just lots of cozy days inside baking, organizing, cleaning (sooooo much cleaning 🤣), and tackling some long-neglected house renovations. We also got to visit my parents in Ohio and grandmother in Pennsylvania. Precious family time.

I’m feeling so refreshed and rested. Still not interested in putting the garden to bed yet. 🤭 Maaaaaaaaybe I’ll start ordering seeds soon?

Lots of love,
💕 Laura

September. Oh what a beautiful month, my favorite of all. The most utterly exhausting and completely exhilarating portion of my year. The Drying Shed is emptying out rapidly—I’m sad and yet simultaneously satisfied with all that it has held this season. I’m so thankful for every one who came and shared in the joy. 🥹

The flower cart is stocked with everlasting bunches while supplies last. 💫

One more open house, this Saturday from 10am to noon. (P.S. If you’re wanting to come shop but aren’t free during that time, shoot me a message and we’ll see what we can work out. 😚 My policy is no dried flower enthusiast left behind!)

Friends. What a lovely weekend connecting with you over dried flowers. I’m so very thankful for each of you who came (some driving or flying many hours 🥹).

The Drying Shed is open for one last day this Saturday September 13, 10am-noon. I’d love to have you stop in! 😘 I also have wreath workshops coming up, so if you’d like to come make yourself a wreath in the Shed check out my website for details (or send me a message).

Lots of love to you all,
💕Laura

The transition of seasons. I love cool, dewy mornings, sweatshirts, and buckets of fall colors. Autumn is the loveliest time of year, in my opinion, and I can’t wait to welcome her.

She’s so pretty! ☺️ I failed to get a picture of our sweet little dried flower class, but a few of us stayed after and finished this idea that’s been living inside my head for a while now! Thank you Colleen and Kim for helping me bring her to life. 😘 Now for a name for our gorgeous everlasting lady!!

Everlasting wreaths are the culmination of months of labor, careful attention, and love. Most of the ingredients in this particular wreath were started from seed more than 8 months ago. A snapshot of the garden in all its glory. 💫

I’m slowly adding to my wreath collection for the Drying Shed Open House. See you there soon! 😚

The most delightful spontaneous photo shoot happened in the Drying Shed yesterday when the sweetest gals visited from Portland and Lynnwood. I’m not sure there has ever been so much pure joy in this space. Still smiling. 💫

I’m swimming in all things everlasting right now, scurrying to tuck away the best of summer for enjoyment on the coming dark days of winter. It’s beautiful, hard work; I’m thankful for the privilege to weary my body with something so shockingly, extravagantly, unnecessarily lovely.

This is the epitome of summer, right here. 💫 (P.s. see you in the Drying Shed this September, ok? 😘)
