We had a booth this past weekend at the Saxapahaw Holiday Market! The market looked amazing and so many people turned out ahead of the impending snow storm. Thank you to everyone who stopped by my booth and picked up their 2019 Year in Bloom JAKE & META calendar!
Earlier this month a calendar fan sent me a photo of their 2018 JAKE & META calendar perched atop their kitchen counter. I was so flattered! Not only is the calendar front and center, but it's adorned with beautiful flowers. Love it. Thank you!
The Flower District in NYC never gets old. On a daily basis you can find row after row of beautiful fresh-cut flowers, potted plants, driftwood, cotton stalks, evergreen garland, flowering vegetables (like the artichokes pictured above!), branches with fall-colored leaves, branches with no leaves, cactuses (cacti-?), and on and on it goes. You name it--all lined up. And ALL will find a home. This is part of what amazes me about the city: there are so many people in NYC, it seems as though none of this volume goes to waste. And another thing I noticed: I was not the only one taking pictures. So beautiful!
The flower above is featured in our 2019 calendar and in our new note cards as seen below :)
My friend, Heather Chadduck Hillegas, was featured in this month's issue of House Beautiful!
She is an interior designer and textile designer, and her work is amazing. If you haven't already, pick up the October 2018 issue (before it's too late!) or check out the article online.
Flying in an airplane is certainly more commonplace than it used to be, but the concept still amazes me every time I fly. As a result, I always look out the window (my preferred seat is next to a window). On this particular flight, the sky was especially gorgeous, with big, pronounced clouds, and sunny spots alongside darker ones. I could not stop taking pictures--this one is one of my favorites.
Our 2019 calendars are in, and we are so excited with how they turned out! This year's theme is Flowers of the South Pacific, and with so many beautiful flowers in that part of the world, it was hard to narrow it down. (Maybe a future year will be part 2...) We hope you'll love it!
