I’m proud to announce the arrival of Sprout , my electric mini flower truck! I’ve quietly been looking the last few months for the diminutive Wes Anderson inspired flower truck of my dreams, and I finally found her! She’s going to spend this winter getting dolled up and you’ll find her next spring, rolling up to a cool spot or event near you! And yes, she’ll be available for styled shoots, and the like. I wanted to wait and make a fancier introduction, but I’m way too excited and I’m not a content creator anyway. You’re here for the flowers, and I hope Sprout will become your go-to Mini Truck with Mighty Blooms!💐🛻

Then, of course, is everywhere on the walls downstairs. I bought a small piece already this year but there’s always room for more! has been an incredible addition to the studio. Sarah has been putting in so much work and it shows. Her jewelry would make such a lovely holiday gift for so many! really does the most incredible fine art photography and the stories behind her work make it that much more special! And I’m absolutely obsessed with ornaments this season (and her style, generally speaking). Oh, she’s got pretty candles, too! As for me? What you see above is a sample of what I’ll have on offer today. Wreaths, large and small, along with a few seasonal bouquets. Everything smells AMAZING and you can’t help but to be in a good mood when evergreens, bells, and ribbon are involved. Or at least, I can’t. See you soon!💐💕

This photo? It’s from just about two years ago when invited me to be at her studio open house. I don’t think either of us had any idea that sharing a studio the next year would follow, but it’s been great to be in community. And speaking of community, I wanted to take a moment to say thank you. Your support makes it possible for me to do what I love: grow flowers, create beauty, and continue to cultivate through creativity.

As a little token of my gratitude, I’m offering a special Floral Friday sale! Gift cards, workshops, and stunning arrangements—all waiting to make your day brighter. Enjoy sale pricing sitewide until Monday at midnight!

Last Friday in the studio before the chaos of market. Heavily in my jumpsuit era. Perfect flowering workwear. Bamboo earrings, rope bracelet, neon kicks. You can take the girl out of Brooklyn but… .....

She came out right after I’d cut this handful, proudly showing off her brand new overalls. Is this my kid or what? Quite unusually, the flowers were destined to grace various corners right here at home. So, I turned to my occasional farmhand, florist, and market sidekick and asked if she’d model, too......

For those interested in getting creative with autumnal arrangements, there are still seats available for the workshop on September 14. These workshops are not just about mastering the art of floral arrangements. They’re about taking a moment to breathe, to connect with nature, and to be part of a blooming community of flower enthusiasts! Please note that there will not be a floral workshop in October due to MCF’s busy event calendar. So, seize the moment and join us in September for a memorable floral gathering filled with creativity and connection. Look forward to seeing you there and at Ghent Farmers Market this month!
