vivavoce

Designed this sweet little arrangement in one of my favorite vases. Handmade with love by carma ferrier - you can still see her intentional fingerprints pressed into the clay. Makes me smile every single time I reach for it 🤍

Sweet story from today...

I popped into Trader Joe’s, and when I got to the checkout, my cashier says, ‘Hey, I have a question of the day for you!’

I was like, ‘Oh cool sure, what is it?’

‘What historical event that’s happened during your life still feels super present in your memory?’

I thought for a second and said, ‘Oh, definitely the 1989 earthquake in San Francisco. Right before game #3 of the World Series!’

She goes, ‘OMG me too! I used to live there!’

We were so stoked and swapped stories of where we were and what we were doing when it hit, only to realize we actually grew up a couple blocks away from each other (except I was Outer Sunset 🤘🏻 and she was Inner Sunset - IYKYK) and had all these funny things in common. It also made me think about my childhood house and the eucalyptus tree out front and the way the fog was so thick in the avenues in the mornings but would always roll out for a little afternoon sunshine. So many things rolled around in my mind.

Total needle-in-a-haystack moment and really made my day, but also allowed me to just remember. I’m such a nostalgic tiny moments kinda gal - so ordinary yet so special. Must be why I love flowers so much… super simple, but with the sweetest, most meaningful impact 🌸

hope you’re enjoying the hazy magic of midsummer. waiting patiently for my own dahlias to pop in the garden… until then I grabbed some cuties on my last trip to the flower market 🌼

In case you’ve been trying to connect the dots on my recent farm-post sprees -  I’ve been co-creating an evolving event series with .farm ✨

So far we’ve hosted two dinners called F E A S T (the inaugural with and the second with ), plus two music-focused gatherings - the first with and the upcoming one with .

The idea is pretty simple: good food, music, community, flowers, and gathering outdoors. Nothing fussy — just easy breezy vibes 🌀

Come hang with us under the stars on June 6th with .

Grab a ticket, unplug for a bit, and stay awhile. Link in bio.

just a dried bundle for a friend.

a small shift in perspective this month - a few scents, sounds, and tiny details that brought some recent unexpected joy.

the april edit 〰️

01. SMELLING // lilac in the front yard, just planted and already blooming. the sweetest fragrance - love a sensory welcome when people visit.

02. LISTENING // dijon on repeat. raw, soulful, perfect for getting into a creative rhythm.

03. USING // .labs - red mandarin + rosemary. a simple lotion ritual that feels like a deep breath for my tired dry skin. made locally by a dear friend doing very cool things.

04. READING // how does your garden grow - proust. so helpful since I’ve been in the garden a ton. a constant inspiration for color, composition, and growing with intention.

05. WEARING // adidas samba janes. love my classics but these are a good mixture of sporty and a little sweet.

06. EXPERIENCING // - an easy escape in pacific city. airstreams, salt air, and everything you need within walking distance. we visited for spring break and it was a very easy going reset!
