On sunny afternoons when I am at home and not traveling, I love to create flower arrangements from whatever I can find around my small garden. So far I have mostly done them for friends and family, but I did do a wedding and the flowers for a few Secret Supper Clubs. I hope there will be more flowers blooming soon and more opportunities to arrange them, after all, when I studied in Japan Ikebana was my favorite class!

Hydrangeas and fire lilies were bright and sunny in this old Ball jar I found at a yardsale

Roses and fall leaves of sumac and maple trees and a big green cana leaf to hide the stems for a family brunch last autumn
Complementing smaller and larger arrangements for a Secret Supper Club – I used jasmine vines to create a basket-like weaving at the top of each bouquet
