⚠️ Another workshop?! ⚠️
That's right, November is chock full of opportunities to come flower with me. I'm thrilled to be joining @parachutehome for a very exciting Thanksgiving tablescape workshop on November 21!
First, you'll make your own dried floral centerpiece for your Thanksgiving table. Then, @cma.ceramics will offer pro tips to create an elevated tablescape, no matter your personal style. We'll talk tableware and linens, share ideas to bring colors and textures together, and explore other ways to bring visual interest to your table beyond flowers.
Hope to see you there!

WHAT: Thanksgiving tablescape workshop

Elizabeth & Carlos' wedding had us feeling peachy keen! 🍑
You won't find a kinder or more trusting couple, and their calm and grounding presence made it an easy day for all! (And we love a Midland family, don't we, @sgaltheide and @shelliebahr?)

Huge thanks to @blackmenflowerproject for inviting us to participate in Comerpalooza last week! Together, we created over 30 bouquets with the kids at @garycomeryouthcenter.
The afternoon was a much-needed reminder of the joy flowers bring, and the generosity they inspire. It was a thrill to see faces light up at the sight of our table and hear kids talk about why they deserve their own flowers, or why they were excited to gift their bouquets to a loved one.
If you’re not familiar with @blackmenflowerproject, go give them a follow! They’re a non-profit focused on the celebration and well-being of Black men through art, nature and community, and they’re doing amazing work in Chicago and across the country. I can’t wait to explore new ways to support their mission, and invite you to join me!

You didn't think it was all sunshine and roses, did you?
As 2023 draws to a close, I'm feeling more chaotic than earnest. (Shocking, I know.) So in that spirit, I present: a few of Mertle & Dot's not-so-glorious moments this year.
Here's to laughing often, not taking ourselves too seriously, and breaking less glass in 2024. 🥂

Who's that in the window? It's Mertle & Dot!
It's November 1, which means it's officially my favorite season: Thanksgiving time! And if you're looking for a festive wreath or a dinner host gift, stop on by Get Me In the Kitchen in Lakeview.
Mertle & Dot will be stocked throughout November and December, joining several other local makers to help you celebrate with holiday decor, artisan food items, jewelry and more. Stay tuned for even more gift options later this month!
