New fav pic 💛 (Note the Christmas tree branches in his pocket 😂) Christmas was a delight, but the first few weeks of January felt more like a hurricane. I’ve been cracked open and spilled out and learned more about myself in three weeks than I have in the past three months. But as the storm calms and the sun comes out we look around and see that hey... we’re still standing... and also somehow stronger than before... and so maybe a storm doesn’t haven’t to be the end of everything after all, if you are standing with the right person, and standing on The Rock.

The soft yellow center that only comes out when a quicksand rose fully fully opens... it’s such a treasure.

Laguna Beach, you stole my heart. In high school, I meet a friend online named Mary, who I soon affectionately started calling my “internet mom.” She followed my angsty teenage blogging, and posted her gorgeous photos of the beach and life in Laguna. I said so many times “and Mary, someday I’m going to come see that blue-green water for myself.” Over a decade later, I finally did. And I’m so so glad. The water and beaches really are incredible!

A fun maids bouquet - dahlias, O’Hara garden roses, butterfly ranunculus and sweet pea added interest and SMELL SO GOOD. Fluffy yum.

New Year’s Day hike to Lost Palms Oasis in Joshua Tree (swipe to see the palms!). The best way to travel, I think, is to get to know a place from locals themselves. I’m so thankful for Mary and her husband Spence who gave me “insider” tips for where to hike. Spence let me borrow a hiking pole, gloves, topo map, and suggested the perfect trail. I hit the road at 4:30a, watched the sunrise on a new decade, hiked in the morning sun before all the tourists swarmed the area, and it was the perfect way to start the year.

Flowers are baaaaaack in the studio after Christmas break, and these o’hara garden roses from CA smell extra amazing. I’m drinking them in, and their fragrance always reminds me of Tucson, because they were a favorite to design with there.

Hello, 2020. It’s been a whirlwind start to the year. A whirlwind of travel and an absolute tornado of emotions. Laguna Beach, Joshua Tree National Park, parade floats in Pasadena, the LA flower market, the #teamflowerconference and so many good friends along the way. What a way to start the year. To see the sun rise, breath desert air deep, hear the surf crash, and feel love.

It’s been a year of yellow. A year of courage. A year of saying yes. Of redemption, renewal, remaking. Of winter melting into spring and warming into summer and surrendering to fall. Thankful for 2019 and looking ahead with hope to 2020.

Merry Christmas Eve Eve from Eli and Gus! They weren’t invited to the @sweetrootvillage Christmas party, for obvious reasons (could you just imagine!?!), but I still made them pose the day before. I didn’t have treats to bribe them, though, and you can totally tell in their grumpy expressions 😂🎄
