Spring fun with Valley & Co. and west elm

We are in full-on spring mode planting new pots dotted along our front porch and walkway, prepping thyme, Walla Walla sweets, beets and so many delicious delight. We’ve potted anemone, pansies, asparagus ferns and ranunculus so it’s beginning to look quite cheery around here! We recently hosted a Spring Social at west elm Seattle to celebrate this sunny season and their new gorgeous paper flower shop and that totally got us in the spirit! Here are some snapshots from the event; we showed the attendees three ways to use the paper flowers {links to two projects below} and Nick crafted a deluxe cocktail from a tasty hibiscus syrup. Yum!

These paper cherry blossoms are so funky and unique and make for perfect effortless centerpieces when nestled into old bottles or apothecary jars. 

 

Mr. Valley captured mixing up this tasty cocktail. He’s quite the master!

 

Here are two projects that we whipped up using the paper flowers: paper crocus stir sticks and rosemary wreaths. Enjoy!

 

 

 

Thanks to Megan Arpin for sharing this Instagram peek at us in action and to all who attended. What fun! Happy near-Spring, all!
