Flora

A few weekends ago I worked with a lovely local Seattle floral designer Keita Horn, who I had known from a past life, and past career. The results were so cute and fantastic! Here are some of my top picks.

Pumpkin Picking in the Fall

This seems like so long ago now, with Christmas and New Years already come and gone.  I went pumpkin picking with a few close friends back in October, to Bob’s Corn. I love doing this and Bob’s is my favorite of the pumpkin patches in Western Washington.  There is a lot you can do, and… Read more »
