La La Laurie at Flutter

On Saturday, April 4th, I'll be packing up my goods and heading down to Flutter, in Portland, OR for a spring trunk show.

If you're in the neighborhood, please stop by. I'll be showing lots of new corsages, bouttonieres, and bouquets.

Flutter is my dear friend Cindy's shop. She has an amazing eye, and has filled Flutter with the most incredible objects. It's rich, eclectic, layered and lovely.

Cindy and I worked together at a Seattle flower shop many, many, years ago. It's a thrill to collaborate with her again!

Please join us Saturday, April 4th between 11 AM and 6 PM.

Table Trends on Once Wed

Emily over at Once Wed was kind enough to invite me to be a part of her Table Trends project. I loved every second of the process and had a great time making all the elements for my table, and putting it all together. Here are a few shots of the end results. You can visit Once Wed to see more images of my table and other Table Trend creations as well.

Craft Sale!

This weekend I participated in the "Tacoma is for Lovers" art and craft sale at King's Books. There were some fabulous folks in attendance and lots of great vendors too. I do hope they decide to make it an annual event.
