spring dreaming

2012-01-05T22:51:00.000-08:00

Today was 50 and sunny?!? Is it winter or spring?
The flower market has been full of spring this week, local tulips, blossoming magnolia, daffodils, luscious poppies out of California...

This is Oregon, I know it has to rain eventually and the plants/flowers need it but this weather is delectable.

Happy New Year!

2011-12-31T16:59:00.000-08:00

2011 was a joyous wild ride and we couldn't be more happy and thankful for all it

Having a hard time with the realization that I have less than a week left of gourds and pumpkins.... I may take the few I have left and give them a special home in our side yard :)

~We are so thrilled to be part of the ever growing push to SHOP LOCAL!

There are two fantastic pushes for next Friday ( Black Friday ) and Saturday.

This is just a sample of the gorgeous wreaths

we have for your fall delights.

All made by the very talented Justin Waddell of Bloke

Fall is flying by.....

2011-10-21T13:13:00.000-07:00

I'm afraid I will blink and it will be winter. However the weather has been absolutely lovely not only prolonging the growing season, keeping the first frost at bay but keeping me incredibly busy as well. I am grateful for all.

Harvesting Portland

2011-10-13T13:49:00.000-07:00

Oh, the joy lovelies of Fall's bounty :)

fresh goodies from Bella Terra & Laughing Lady Soap

2011-10-02T10:00:00.000-07:00

Now that it's fall our focus can turn to indoor pretties. And these new Bella Terra lovelies have got us all excited! From the tiny pots to the new style of wall mounted planters.

This little pink guy might have to come home with me :)

I'm super excited to pamper my skin with Laughing Lady's new Milk and Honey bar.
Lavish Lovers sold out fast last time around. So hurry in and scoop one up. Your skin will thank you, especially as the rainy season comes on. Laughing Lady Soap is delectable!

gourding it up on the farm

2011-09-24T08:00:00.000-07:00

Wednesday Emerald Petals and Bloke took a very early morning trip to Windflower farm in Mosier, OR.
Our goal, to pick first of the season gourds and pumpkins.

We had quite a jaunty time. The weather was spectacular and we were greeted by Caroline the proprietress farmer extraordinaire, puppy dogs Bo and Bond, chickens, and kitten pudding seen below :)

This is a sampling of what we got and only the beginning of what will be available this season to make your Fall festivities oh so joyous!

Hooray for Autumn!

2011-09-23T14:18:00.000-07:00

I don't know why I chose to just photograph the bouquet and two boutonnieres... Busy weekends will do that to me :)

Some like it HOT...

2011-09-11T16:21:00.000-07:00

Whoa what a hot few days it has been! Luckily we have ac in the shop or the poor flowers would melt :)

We had two weddings this weekend and a jaunty party.
Congratulations to Tresa & Ted! And to Emma & David!

Here are a few pictures of the flowers I did this past Saturday for Christine and Jesse's wedding. The ceremony was held at The Chapel of Christ the Teacher at UP, which I think has one of the best views of downtown Portland.

I will post more pictures when I get them from the photographer. You must see how vibrantly the flowers popped against the girls' dresses. And how lovely Christine looked.

Making Pretty in New Spaces... Part 1

2011-05-21T16:33:00.000-07:00

Last week I had the pleasure of making living pretty for two joy women owned companies.

First up, Salt, Fire & Time!

Here's a taste ;) of what I did...

Hi there Weekend

2011-05-14T16:18:00.000-07:00

Two Saturdays ago Market Q, a farmers market at the Q Center on Mississippi Ave., began. Emerald Petals was privy to be asked to have a booth. Its been a jaunty time so far and I can't wait until all the farm flowers are blooming so we can have buckets of grand, local, seasonal, fresh flowers!

You should definitely stop by Saturdays 9-2.

So many wonderful vendors, lots of yummies and pretties. I had some amazing Kimchi, hummus, cookies, cupcakes, coffee....oh my ;) & brought home asparagus and sweet onions for dinner!

I've been extremely lucky to have my friend Lexi commit her Saturdays to working it for me.

I had a hard time leaving her there today after set up on such a beautiful day, I want to be outside!

But alas I must man the shop.

Among the myriad of goodies that EP has at the market are Bella Terra's new chalkboard pots. Perfect for herbs and annuls or if you just want to write a little note on your plant...joy.

closed thursday may 12th

2011-05-11T16:38:00.000-07:00

Just a heads up the shop will be closed on Thursday May 12th (tomorrow) for a much needed recoup and revamp

Hope you are all enjoying your week!

Hanging Wall Garden

2011-03-31T14:17:00.000-07:00

This past month I got the pleasure of doing a living wall project for Roundhouse Agency here in Portland.

I hand selected all the sedum and sempervivums grown right here in Oregon. They provided the box. After many hours and very tired hands, I can say...It was a blast and I just want to keep making more!

As of now this guy is sitting in front of some big windows waiting on the sun and some rooting time. I will post pictures when it is hung on the wall.

Joy weekend to you all!

Don't forget Free Flower Monday is coming up, so get to commenting!

I went out to Little Prince of Oregon Nursery on Tuesday to get a bunch of plants for an upcoming project..... I had so much fun, so many beautiful plants.

Well I ended up coming home with a new product that I'm going to try. Bright Green, http://www.brightgreenusa.com/, vertical garden containers with great watering irrigation ability and easy to hang. They are made of plastic which throws me off but are made in the USA. And as I'm kinda obsessed with vertical gardens and hanging gardens I said yes!

Here they are full of yummy and beautiful herbs and strawberries! What a great thing to hang next to your grill! Also I have an empty one that I might plant up with sempervivums and sedums.......

Happy St. Patrick's Day Portland
