Read MoreAn Opportunity Taken…A Year Later?
October 05, 2015
Should I have prioritized making it happen sooner? My answer is yes, though I’m excited to share that I’ve finally taken the opportunity. So what interesting adventure am I talking about? This opportunity came about a year ago when I was signing up for our membership at the New York Botanical Garden. The agent at the front gate mentioned that by paying an additional $25 with our membership ...
Read MoreLETTING IT HAPPEN
September 15, 2015
It really wasn’t the summer I expected it to be, though that doesn’t mean it was a bad summer, just a different summer. I guess it started with the wonderful intentions of planting my cutting garden early, though it didn’t quite happen that way, and as I write this I feel sad that I didn’t get it all done as I had hoped. But then I remind myself that there is always next year, and any sadn...

Maybe it’s a strong, bra...
Read MoreA BOUQUET FROM MY CUTTING GARDEN
August 18, 2015
I have a big smile on my face as I write this post, as I just came in from picking my first bouquet of flowers from my cutting garden! I’m delightfully surprised with how this first bouquet came together. It’s not a bouquet of a florist design and high-end flowers by any means, but it is a bouquet of simplicity and delight, as all I had to do was walk out my back door with my Felco cutters and...
Read MoreLOGOS AND ICONS
August 11, 2015
It’s amazing how much can go into creating a logo for a business. I have experienced it many times as I have designed logos for other businesses including our company, M30 Productions, as well as for Floating Petals. In designing the logo for Floating Petals, I wanted to include an icon of a flower, but at the time I didn’t realize what a significant role that icon would play. ...
