A foggy late summer afternoon.

Burgundy and plum flowers on the rim of a compote filled with delicious fruits.

Trail of Texture

While working  on a project, we gathered  a variety of texture and simply placed them on the work bench:

vines, striking  foliage and seedpods from the garden; kale, mini-eggplants and some fruits; berries, nuts and succulents; grasses, lichen, moss and river rock.

What fun centerpieces these would be for long tables!

Thanks  Joni for the great pictures!

the swirly seedpod from clematis: a favorite!

Bird’s Nests

It was such a pleasure to participate in a photo shoot last month. As the set-up was under a lone oak tree, it seemed that a bird’s nest theme would be a fun choice.

Deyla Huss Photography came up with the photo shoot concept and she invited  fabulous vendors to participate:

Decor: Becky Simpson with No Ordinary Affair

Cake:Renae Heineck with  Custom Cakes

Invitations: Angelina Koeppen with Water Lily Invitations

Make up: Jennifer Rand with Face  Body  Beauty

Thank you so much Deyla for the great pictures!

Peach & Chocolate

The color scheme for the centerpieces at this party was inspired by the book cover of a newly published book.

Having a book published certainly begs for  a celebration!
