Sometimes less is more…but sometimes more is more ♥️ So many hardy annuals and perennial treasures…columbine, peony, forget me nots, foxglove, snapdragon, sweet pea, honeysuckle, nigella, agrostemma and calendula.

Sometimes less is more…but sometimes more is more ♥️ So many hardy annuals and perennial treasures…columbine, peony, forget me nots, foxglove, snapdragon, sweet pea, honeysuckle, nigella, agrostemma and calendula.
Indulging myself with this bouquet of two of my favorites; foxglove and delphinium. The wild pea (unappealingly named “hairy vetch”) is typically purple and I was tickled when I spotted a patch of it in soft pink under my larch trees.
What teacher wouldn’t love an appreciation bouquet like this? Especially from a sweet face like that?
The wild roses and tripletlily were foraged and the lupine, anemone and geum were from my garden.
Look who decided to show up a week *after* Mother’s Day. 🙄 Haha, oh well. Always worth the wait!
When people say spring flowers are “cheerful,” this is what they’re referring to 😍
Have a wonderful Mother’s Day all!

Rainy days are made for reading and Rachel Sigfried’s ( ) book has quickly become a favorite in my garden and floristry library. I relate so deeply to the sentiments she expressed through its pages. This one sums up why arranging directly from the garden is so satisfying to me: “I experienced the pleasure of picking a simple garden gathered bunch and carefully wrapping it in newspaper…it was an encapsulation of the garden that I had created…” Rachel’s right; it is a magical feeling!
I haven’t grown sweet peas since we moved out to our acreage. That’s two whole years that their sweet scent has been missing from my garden. I started some seeds today and am pretty dang excited. Especially since I snagged Blue Shift and Karen Louise from and those are two that I’ve wanted to get my hands on for a while.
$80 Woodland Wreaths available for preorder now (pick up 11/25 or after), message me to order.
November in our woods is really stealing my heart this year

Fall foliage is so beautiful that the flowers almost feel redundant
The most enviable hair 😍 I adore the young woman attached to it too…and not just because we share a gene pool
I found this vintage, milk glass vase today while yard saling and promptly filled it with flowers the second I was home. Now to place them on my nightstand. It’s the simple things in life.
Time to order your Mother’s Day bouquets! I may have some extra right before the big day but your safest bet is to get your order in ahead of crunch time 😉

Recreating this lovely treasure from a few years ago since it didn’t transport so well in the move 😬
I’m indulging in filling my house with flowers to soak in the last of the growing season.
Earthy and feminine with and for a senior photo shoot tonight. Includes queen lime blush zinnias, cherry caramel phlox, blush yarrow, wild grasses and some wildflowers that I haven’t identified (I think one is related to Imodium and the tiny pink bells grow on some small shrubs that are all over our hillside)
My favorite thing about arranging seasonally is adding foraged finds (aka weeds) to my garden grown blooms. Oregon grape, native shrubbery and whatever those twinkly little white flowers are were just as important as the zinnias, phlox, echinops, snapdragons and dahlia. They take it from basic grocery store ingredients to Don’t forget about the $88 August special! Treat yourself or a loved one!
When the sun goes down, I can finally come out and enjoy my garden 🥰

A little throwback to last year…crazy how different garden looks this year with the cold spring we had. My zinnias, cosmos and amaranth aren’t cranking out the stems yet like they were for this bouquet!
That’s her “woa mom, those are really tall” face 😆
It’s my grandma Patty’s funeral today. My grandma was such an example of making life joyful. She taught me how to appreciate the little things and how to infuse fun into simple everyday moments at home. In fact, she deserves credit for why “frivolity” is a part of my business name. She taught me how essential the “unessentials” are. Things like picnics, parties, dress up pageants, decorations, games, toys and all things creative. My grandma was an artist just like her dad, her daughters and many of her grandchildren. One day she was watching me arrange flowers on my back deck and commented how “most the artists in our family use a paintbrush, but you create art with your flowers”. She was such a cheerleader of me my whole life and I’m so grateful I was blessed to spend so much time on earth with an amazing example like her.
Her favorite flower was sweet pea and, because we had just moved, I didn’t grow any this year. Thankfully my friend, Alissa from has a beautiful crop so I was able to incorporate her favorite to honor her.
❤️
Why, yes, this DOES smell as good as you bet it does. But how could you not with sweet peas, mock orange and garden roses?
(Thank you Alissa from for sharing your floral treasures from your beautiful garden)
ALMOST as charming as the real thing 😍 I found this vintage crewel at an estate sale today and I had to get it. It belongs in the house of a right?
Wild campanula I foraged on the left and a biennial version I grew on the right. So fun!
Summer days ☀️
I took the hubby and kids on a “foraging through our woods” adventure today to see what we could find. I swear there’s new things blooming weekly around here. The poppies are from my garden and the peonies are from (thanksErin!) but the rest was foraged. The spiky reddish pink ones are so cool but I have no idea what they are! Anybody care to enlighten me?
