Handmade Artist Cards at Passionfloewr

 

The uber talented Becky Tonkin, oh she of the black hair and the blue eyes, whom you might remember as our beloved store manager for many years before she moved to Astoria, has graciously agreed to put together a little body of ephemera in honor of Valentine's Day!

 Can hardly wait to see it all.  IN the meantime, here's a sneak peek. We'll also be selling artist's cards by Rogene Manas, Bev Soasey, & Judith Sparks.  These are all super talented women working right here in Eugene and I could not be more happy to be selling their work.

First Friday Event at Passionflower

 It's my store and if I want to spend ridiculous amounts of time working on an event because I'm pretty excited about it, well that's my perogative right?  Which is all a long winded way of saying that I hope you will find it in your heart to come visit us before Valentine's Day and find yourself a lovely handmade artist's card.  We have, once again, invited the talented folks from the Eugene Calligraphy Guild to come down and hand address your cards with your choice of red or pink ink. Plus Kristen Walker from Twin Ravens Press will be here letterpressing Valentine's tags like the one shown above(except with red ink).  Edie Robers from the Guild calligraphed the text and Kristen set it and printed them.  I just think it's a lovely collaboration.  They'll both be here on First Friday in February from 5 to 7:30! Please join us.

Something Beautiful

Just a little photo of a beautiful piece of jewelry - copper enamel coral pendant with a necklace of  the teensiest, tiniest little pearls we've ever seen.  Something beautiful. And handmade.  That is all.

A Happy Valentine's Day to All

I like traditions and  I like the comfort of the turning of the seasons.  I guess it's one reason I like being in the flower biz.  I have a feeling  for the wheel of the year.  Like February means pussywillow and hellebore and fragrant jasmine.  And  many years ago Chris told me that she always puts her hummingbird feeder out on Valentine's Day.  And I like that kind of a tradition.  Doesn't always mean it has to be a big party with turkey and stuffing.  Some traditions can be private and kind of personal.  So I always try and trim my rose bushes (the one's that need trimming) and plant sweet peas right around Valentine's Day.   That's my little tradition.

Naughty but not too Naughty

 

It was so much fun putting together Valentine's Day Cards this year.  We have a huge selection.

So come and get 'em!
