🌤this time of year when the days are long and the light lingers, it's easy to fall in love with each moment of light in the sky over and over again. it's all fleeting and the transience, i think, is part of the appeal and fascination. emerson said, "each moment...has its own beauty, and...it beholds...a picture which was never seen before, and which shall never be seen again." 

the fleeting nature of moments has always felt so striking to me- the impermanence of change juxtaposed with the permanence of truth and beauty. in i suppose somewhat of an irony, i have a tattoo depicting one of my favorite fleeting moments, and well, i make paper flowers, in a way freezing that which changes. 

i celebrate summer solstice each year by creating a fresh flower mandala- in itself celebrating permanence and impermanence. i always look forward to this commeration of the season as well as this time of year when the light and the sky hold so many beautiful fleeting moments.💛

🍋🌸springtime! full of such beauty of bud and bloom, so fresh and fearless while all at once so gentle and fleeting. i fall in love with this season more and more each year. i've been creating flowers and preparing for a warmer sunday to visit the artisans market. those first warm days can feel so sweet and joyous while the last touches of cold cleanse and renew. hope to see some of you soon at the market! in the enjoy meantime savor the sights of the season- and do not hesitate to message me if you would like to purchase prior to market time.🍋🌸

question for ya! in between halloween and thanksgiving, is it fall or winter?

the snow covering the ground outside where i live and the holiday time merchandise covering the store shelves across town may indicate that it is winter, but the elementary school meteorologist in me definitely still thinks that november is fall!

that said, enter this fall inspired bouquet with lisianthus, wild rose, camellia, and cosmo. yep, this is about as fall as i get! muted, dusty tones and rich, jewel tones feel like fall for me in the flower world.

i hope that whatever season you think it is or want it to be, you are warm and peaceful.

those last summer days- days when the light changes and the feel of the air is just a bit different. here the days are still warm and the crickets are singing through the night but the trees have started to tinge autumnal and the squirrels seem to be picking up their scurried pace.

i wholeheartedly love summer and each year feels melancholy watching it fade but at the same time there is something sacred to fall's approach- a reminder of the cycles of life and nature that hold such courage and wisdom. and a journey layered and beautiful in the return to the darkness and the slate that is the container for rebirth.

as the sun sets on summer, there is a hope renewed to savor each present moment as well as its piece in the grand puzzle of the passing days and the days to come.💛
