Last week I participated in "Tour d'Brides", a bridal show that was fabulously organized by Becky with No Ordinary Affair. The Mansion at the Bayou in McMinneville was one of the four venues that participated in the show. Thank you Irmi for providing such a great setting. Many thanks to Erica, with Erica Ann Photography, for the great pictures!
Early this summer I was contacted by Teofiel Molcut, who is the publisher and editor of Florists Only, a Romanian magazine aimed at professionals. After answering questions via email and sending off a selection of favorite pictures, I was so honored and excited to find out recently that our conversations had resulted in this article. Thank you Teo!

Last week I did some arrangements for the booth of the Oregon Association of Nurseries at the Far West Show at the Convention Center.
This large one was made on a long piece of bark; a hollowed old tree trunk was wired to it and I attached a bird's nest at the top.
Thank you Joni for coming by the studio to take pictures!

The electric blue of the gentian, delphinium and mini agapanthus added a bright touch to the 6 woodland bouquets and the flower girl's purse for last week's wedding at Bridal Veil Lakes
Musing about elegant and out-of-the-box centerpieces? Botanical shoes would be a fabulous solution!
Or consider wearing luscious shoes decorated with feathers, texture and tillandsias for a special event or your wedding. And coordinate them with a flower purse or a whimsical bouquet.
Fiddleheads add unique texture to any design. Locally they are available early spring when the new ferns uncurl in the gardens; the dark brown ones are from Hawaii and are available year around.
