mother's day...and another journey

We are headed out for the last bit of traveling on our book tour tomorrow- we are super excited to visit Portland and Seattle! Sign up for the events right here. We won't be doing any delivery orders this week for Mother's Day...BUT...we are super duper excited to have our lovely assistants making bouquets at the Heath Ceramics Open Studio weekend in Sausalito from 12-3pm. Maybe bring your favorite Mom over to the sale and let her pick out a beautiful Heath vessel (at 15% off!) and the girls will fill it with flowers? Maybe pick up a signed copy of our book and take a tour of the Heath factory? Sounds like fun to us!
 

photographers and farm

So we made a book last year. It was a lot of work and we didn't know what we were doing when we started. We worked in a crowded garage with surfaces that were too small, crooked backdrops, a giant plastic windbreak that whipped violently in the South City wind. Every week for months. But we had awesome flowers and an AMAZING photographer and we turned all those things into a book we are very proud of. We pretty much fell in love with Paige Green and could never have made our book without her. Her personality is as beautiful as her photography.

SO! We just found out she is teaching a workshop this summer! If you are interested in learning about photography and want to spend a weekend camping on an awesome farm in Petaluma, YOU MUST GO. Visit the website for more information and to sign up. Tell em' the Choo's sent ya!

 

pruning season

It was a chilly morning in the Bay Area, but we bundled up and headed to Petaluma for a rose pruning class at Garden Valley yesterday. We learned so much from the lovely Fallon; her passion and excitement for roses was contagious. I don't have any plants of my own but my mother-in-law has a nice collection and we'll be adding a few beautiful new varieties to her garden- maybe some special blooms will go to our summer brides!

and we're back

We are finally back and trying to catch up on all the emails and holiday happenings! What a weird trip. It is good to be back. Photos from before we knew Ever had the chickenpox and we took a nice walk in the woods with my brother and his family- that wee woodland creature is my niece Hannah.

kye touch her?

Despite getting stuck in the storm I had an amazing time with my family last week. Lots of time with my nieces! My favorite thing was Hannah's little finger that was constantly reaching out to touch her new baby sister's face. Miss them already. But on the bright side we have another trip scheduled at the end of the month to Boston, NYC, and Rhode Island!
