There is nothing like the smell inside a florist shop, mid-winter!
Alaina & I took a trip to Kittelberger Florist today.
A very sweet friend was helping me out of a pickle...
Walking through their studio~construction zone was amazing!
I love to watch designers put flower arrangements together~
A gorgeous painting coming together quickly... artfully...
~Gracefully~
I'm working on a project that requires pressed flowers...
I have gathered & pressed from our gardens~
But it is February.
No snow! No flowers either.
I called my friend and she pulled a box of lovely together for me!
A HUGE box of a little wilted, a little past peak etc.
We got home...
Tossed everything down and began pressing!
I filled book after book...
Pressed blossom after blossom...
I ran out of pages!
Alaina rescued some of the extras~
She has collected some darling vases...
Once they were full she started filling her paint water jars...
Kittelberger is filled to the rafters with treasures~
Household/kitchen... Vera... toiletries... home decor...
Bridal... Paper products... jewelry... so much more!
Fine gifts~ from the sweetest of families!
Stoneware crocks, jugs... bean pots are weighing down
my old books filled with beautiful blossoms.
Our home smells so pretty~
The cats are curious!
Hope you have a beautiful weekend, Friends!

Pressed flowers remind me of Grandma. I took some of her hosta flowers and pressed them in a book when she passed away. Thanks for bringing back sweet memories! Glad you and Alaina had such fun!
Smiles and blessings,

Michelle- we will all be eagerly waiting for your new project with the pressed flowers. Beautiful florist shops are a true delight--- and there is nothing like fresh flowers to make us so anxious for spring--

What pretty pictures. I've always thought florist shops smelled like a funeral home...or maybe it's just the other way around:) I haven't ever pressed flowers but I might decide to try it.
