If you’re like me, you’ve just (barely) put away your Christmas decorations, and now things are feeling a bit glum. That’s why I thought I’d start the year with some fun gifts for Valentine’s Day that can also add some freshness and cheer to your home until Spring arrives.
Send these to your loved ones, or treat yourself, and hopefully, they’ll help get this year off to a lovely start!

Last year, Mother’s Day was busier than ever before—something I hadn’t quite anticipated. This year I vowed that I would launch the collection earlier in March so that I’d have even more time to make as many gifts as possible.
And I made it! With hours to spare! So before all those hilarious April Fools jokes start rolling in, I’m going to make this one quick!

As the first holiday of the year, I wanted to use Valentine’s Day to bring a little optimism to 2021. Winter isn’t my favorite time of year, and I know I can always use some extra help remembering that sunnier times are on the way.
So since I may have ventured a bit beyond the traditional Valentine’s palette, I hope you don’t mind a little pop of color to start your year.

Full confession: I was worried this collection wasn’t going to happen! I had to forgo my Fall collection to keep up with orders, but I just couldn’t let that happen again. Not for Christmas! So while I had designs for about 80 or 90 pieces I wanted to make, I had to restrain myself a bit. But that doesn’t mean I limited the fun. This is the best time of year, after all!

Here we go again! Coming off a very recent Perennial Collection relaunch, it seems weird for me to write another blog post on this topic. But, although we all seem to be losing the sense of what day or week or month it is these days, it is that time of year when we cannot forget to celebrate Mom!!

It might seem a bit odd to release a big new collection right now. I have to admit, I’ve held off for the past couple of weeks because I’ve felt conflicted in doing so. There are more critical things to worry about than flowers these days, right?

Valentine’s Day has always been one of my favorite holidays—long before the days when I even had an actual Valentine to celebrate. I remember delivering handmade cards to every one of my classmates. I miss that widespread tradition of Valentine’s giving! Why did we ever stop?

Last but not least, meet Nordic Lights—an homage to the chilly but sparkling days and nights of holiday fun!

Next up for discussion in my new Holiday Collection: Merry & Bright! This look is probably the most traditional approach to holiday decor—a classic bright red with lots of crisp, lush greens. Despite the predictability of this selection, I still wanted to make it feel fresh and use blooms that can be enjoyed at any time of year. Let’s dive in!

If you’ve already stumbled upon my new Holiday Collection, you may have noticed that it’s my largest yet, and it’s broken out into three themes. I didn’t set out with this intention initially, but when I tried to narrow down my ideas, I realized I just couldn’t do it—I love Christmas too much!

Back in 2017, I was asked to do a pop-up at Madewell in conjunction with their Fall collection launch and a big back-to-school shopping weekend. I was psyched! It’s my favorite time of year for pretty much everything—clothes, weather, and, most of all, colors!

It's been several months since I've released a new collection here, but not without good reason! Summer, while assumed to be an excellent time to slow down and enjoy time in the actual garden, absolutely flew by with custom, commercial, and wedding work. I'm not complaining! But I did feel guilty about the bounty of inspiration growing all around, and the lack of time available for me to translate that inspiration into paper.

Naming collections is a challenge. Over the years, I've borrowed many names from the female role models and friends in my life. My first Mother's Day collection revealed my favorite sitcom Moms—like Beverly Goldberg, Sophia Petrillo, Mona Robinson, and Edna Garrett. A Valentine's Day collection highlighted my favorite musicians. And last year I recognized my own Mom, my Grandmothers, and the many great Moms in my life.

It's safe to say that April has become the busiest time of the year. Spring is in the air and with it brings energy, inspiration, outings, and most importantly—Mother’s Day!

Even though it's not quite feeling like spring temperature-wise, a few early signs are popping up in the garden. Daffodils, crocuses, hellebore, pansies—just enough to get me excited about what's to come in another month or two.

In November I was interviewed for R•Home Magazine, and one of the questions they asked me was why I thought the tradition of giving flowers for Valentine's Day was such a time-honored one? I stumbled a bit, and I'm not even sure I answered the question that clearly, but the point I tried to make is because flowers make people happy. They show that you're thinking about someone, that you care—that you are caring for yourself!
