easy like sunday morning

finally feeling better...going now to make some flowers for the table tonight over at Sunday Suppers...seriously. such a beautiful project. rhubarb lavender crisp...when i can taste food again, that's where i'm going.
i have a few meetings today, then i hope to quit at 2pm and

- finally remove the last of my nailpolish from 2 weeks ago
- reconfigure the plants on my stoop so their not covered in birdshit

yesterday we did a few weddings, they went off without a hitch. well i did cut myself. and as the blood formed that little blood bubble on my finger my mind trailed to TWILIGHT (which apparently i am the last person to see) and specifically to that guy who plays edward cullen, who i will pretend not to know the name of.. AND not to have googled all the celebrity sightings of when i was at my lowest this week. next thing you know i'm bleeding all over the info desk at Wave Hill with a stricken employee frantically rummaging through her desk for the first aid kit.

Photos by Karen Wise


We made flowers for Anli and Kenneth's wedding back in April. They're ceremony and reception was at the Palm House in the Brooklyn Botanical Gardens during the peek of the magnolia's blossoming...'nuf said. These photos by Karen Wise are so spectacular...it is a real treat to see my flowers through her lens. More at Karen's blog...

from a wedding in April...















...beautiful prints by Katie Vernon. She based the flower illustrations on arrangements we made here at Saipua. I love the color palette of the whale. And the chin hair on the ram too.

IF I COULD HAVE TIME IN A BOTTLE.

checklist:
-moved the contents of the shop yesterday to the warehouse
-even though no one ever has a good reason to leave nyc, aaron moved out of town yesterday
-it seems that i have either inhaled too much dust* during the move or am actually sick, which is practically impossible since i never get sick. really, ever.
-eric just suggested we make chicken soup and use it in a neti pot. i'm going to fairway to get some.

*think about dust. how old some dust is. and then what happens to that old dust. it breaks down even more. and just gets older and older and smaller and smaller....but don't think about it too much, or you might have a panic attack over it, as I did this morning.
