If you haven't heard of it- here's a little description from their site:&nbsp;<span style="font-style: italic;">The&nbsp;</span><em>Kinfolk&nbsp;dinner series is about inviting people to gather and take advantage of the rich community that already exists around them, opening up and drawing close to the people that share a common place. We aim to encourage collaboration amidst local artisans and small businesses. Our plan? 12 dinners, 12 cities, once every month. </em>We created fifty seasonal bunches for the "farmer's market" where guests were invited to shop and get to know some amazing local vendors after eating the yummy food prepared by the <a href="http://heirloom-sf.com/">Heirloom Cafe</a>. We were also lucky enough to be invited to attend...Matt and I had the pleasure of sitting with <a href="http://blackeiffel.blogspot.com/">Rachel</a>, <a href="http://saminnosrat.com/">Samin</a>, and <a href="http://yummysupper.blogspot.com/">Erin</a>- we couldn't have asked for better company. I included just flower pics here but be sure to visit their site to check out the whole brunch! Our California grown bunches included so many of our favorites- lily of the valley, muscari, and fritillaria from Eureka, peonies from Fremont, sweet peas and poppies from Half Moon Bay, and honeysuckle and scented geranium from my garden in Pacifica!&nbsp;<span style="font-size: 80%;">ALL PHOTOS FROM <a href="http://www.kinfolkmag.com/">KINFOLK</a> BY <a href="http://dartphotographie.com/blog/">LAURA DART</a>.</span></p>

We are looking for a really friendly person who is also great at selling things to work at the shop every Saturday and two Fridays a month.

Tell us why you are interested in working with us! We are hoping to set up interviews April 18-21 and start training on the 25th.</p>
<p>Duties include:<br />&bull;Customer service&nbsp;<br />&bull;Flowers&ndash; very basic floral care (previous floral experience helpful, but not necessary) PLEASE NOTE THIS IS NOT A FLORAL DESIGN POSITION!<br />&bull;Store upkeep&ndash; making sure displays continue to look their best, sweeping, mopping, light dishes, restocking merchandise, watering plants and checking water levels on flower displays, dusting shelves, making sure everything is priced, shipping, light paperwork/filing.<br />&bull;Social networking&ndash; maintaining our various networking accounts (Facebook, Twitter, etc.), regular mailing list updates, and upcoming events calendar.</p>

Kate e-mailed us to see if we could make bridal flowers for her, and it just so happened we were having a bouquet-making class the day before her wedding. Knowing she was a creative gal I suggested she come to class and we could help her put together her own bouquet...and she did. We were so proud- it was beautiful! More on upcoming classes very soon- you are all being so patient. <a style="font-size: 90%;" href="http://portfolio.jamesmoes.com/">photo from james moes</a></p>
