in the shop

just added a few more of matt's log dishes to the shop.

it begins

real wedding: sachiko and john

we created the flowers for s and j at the amazing carneros inn a few weeks ago. the weather was amazing and you can't go wrong at this location- it was a beautiful day! the couple live in japan so we figured everything out by email with lots of photo exchanges. the bride wanted elegant, but playful- incorporating lots of herbs and fruit along with succulents. we made the tables a mixture of white/green, yellow/green, and pink/orange/green. and yellow tree peonies just happened to be around so...

thanksgiving!

we'll be open normal hours today if you need some flowers- and closed tomorrow (wow- a day off). we'll also be closed friday, but all the prairie collective gals will be there decorating for december! stop by and say hi if you are out and about. also- the first of the walk-in workshops is on saturday...bulb forcing! stop by and make something. see you soon. happy thanksgiving.

classy ladies

computer time has been scarce this week- but here are a few lovely student arrangements from class on sunday. thanks ladies- you were so good! i'll share the rest later.

fun holiday happenings in sf!

we're in the sf chronicle today in a great article about homemade activities to do around town this holiday season. we tried out our first bulb forcing activity earlier this week and it was super fun! another neighborhood goodie in the article is workshop- they have screenprinting, holiday cocktails, leather and feather jewelry, and one we're dying to try...heavy metal aerobics! photos by Carlos Avila Gonzalez of the chronicle.

we like it wild- thanksgiving at the cabin

we created a dark purple and rust display at alethea's new cabin for our post this week- check it out.

charms

for class on sunday!

calendar is here!!!

so excited to put our calendar in the shop- it came out great! we only made fifty so get em while they're hot. lots of people have asked for prints of our photos so we thought this would be a fun way to do it. it measures about 11 x 6 inches and each month is on a separate card. plus you get a bonus image of bernie on the front- that alone is worth a lot. get it in the small stump shop or on etsy or see it in person at prairie collective.

fall centerpiece class- one spot left!

we just had a cancellation for the fall centerpiece class on sunday- so if you are interested in learning how to make a lovely arrangement for your thanksgiving table...sign up here!

walk-in workshops

we have a ton of fun stuff planned for the holiday season- including a series of "walk-in-workshops". on saturdays in december we'll be doing quick and easy activities with all you holiday shoppers like bulb forcing, wreath decorating, and herb-infused cocktail mixers! we'll post specifics later this week, but here's some bulb forcing from this afternoon.

the sunset was beautiful

on the way back from yesterday's wedding in napa. the traffic...not so much.
