Yarn Hearts

Have extra yarn just sitting around the house? Have some fun with it for this Valentines Holiday. With just a few household items you can make some fun decorations.

All you need is some yarn, wire (you can use a wire hanger), scissors, wire cutters, and pliers.

Cut a strand of wire, with the wire  cutters to the length you want and tie the yarn to make a knot at the end of the wire.

The next step and be tricky till you get the hang of it. Wrap the yarn around the wire. I have tested many different methods to do this from just sitting and wrapping to twirling the wire above my head to get it wrapped. Find what works best for you. When you get to the end of the wire, cut the string giving yourself a little extra so you can tie another knot to keep the string from coming unwound. After you tie your knot, cut off any access string.

Once you have the wire wrapped, take the ends of the wire and twist them together.  This is where the pliers can come in handy. Then shape your wire into the heart shape that you want.

Now let the creative juices flow and have some fun. Add different colored yarn and play with shapes and textures. When you are done with it hang it from a window or door. Have Fun!

Light Bulb Hanging Vase

One of our designers came up with a creative way to use light bulbs that will soon be obsolete.

The tools that you will need to make this are;

1. Sharp knife

2. Wire cutters

3. Needle nose pliers

4. Clear light bulb

5. Twine, string, wire, whatever you want to hang the bulb

6. Tall bowl

7. Flowers to finish off the project

Use your knife to cut around the base of the lightbulb. Wrap a washcloth around the glass part of the bulb to help you hold on to it and to protect your hand if the bulb breaks.

When you have the opening cleared to the lightbulb you will be able to break away the inside pieces and shake them out of the opening. Also you can use the needle nose pliers to get out stray pieces of wire. If you want you can chip the cement seal away around the rim. It can be  tuff to get started but once it is cracked it will come out fairly easily.

Put the empty bulb in a bowl to keep it upright. You can put paper towels around it to help keep it secure.

Use twine, wire, string, whatever you want to hang your bulb with. Make sure that its tied tight so that when you add the water it will remain secure.

Add water to the bulb and put your favorite flower in and hang it for all to see. Cover a full tree in the bulbs for spring. Or use on your Christmas Tree for the holiday season. The flowers that we used are Lizzianthus. Have Fun!

Up-date

Good afternoon everyone.

Well it is about time I made an up-date about what is/has been going on.

Sorry I have been gone for so long but life for me has been very very very busy.

After acquiring Paisley Roberts in July my life seemed to take off from there.  Having two retail stores and a event planning business became larger then I even thought it would be.  I needed to focus my strengths where they were needed hence my absense from my blog.

I am going to be catching you all up on the past few months as I get time. I have a ton of photos to share and a bunch of things we have been busy with.

Be on the look out for new stuff coming your way here in the next few days.

 

 

Father’s Day

Hi all.  Sorry for the lengthy delay but I have been rather busy and things have been movin and shakin.  It really has not given much of a social life but that’s what happens when you run your own business, right?

I had a meeting with  my marketing person and we started brain storming about what we should do for father’s day and she came up with a brilliant idea.  She said “how about selling beer with a flower arrangement in it”  For real, that is brilliant.  So, I contacted my beer and wine purveyor and here we have a great idea for father’s day.  Let me know what you think.

Partly Cloudy

I own a little retail store in an area called the Linen District here in Boise, Idaho.  We are primarily a flower store but we are quickly becoming so many other things.  John Carpenter has been a florist in Boise for over 50 years.  And I took over the business about 5 years ago, his name is still on the front of the building but we are working on changing it.

His work stands out from everyone else’s and he has a HUGE following.  He has become so popular and has dealt with the who’s who of Boise for so long people think he is “expensive”, “booked out for months”, and a medley of other reasons.  It is funny to hear people say, “oh, I love his flower arrangements, but I could never afford him”.  I am always perplexed by that statement.  How can he expensive?  He does not charge you a fee for making the flowers.  He charges you for the flowers and the vessel and that’s it.  I figured out why people think he is expensive.  When and if you call another florist they make it easy for you.  You can pick from A,B,C, D…etc it’s the typical menu board, the fast food for florists.  Other florist (and yes I am generalizing) have taken the design aspect of floral arranging away and have given us diagrams to work from.  The FTD’s and TELE-FLORAL’s of the world have told us when you put A in to B you get C.  A photo is taken of said arrangement and there you go.  It has been made easy for you.  They have told you a few flowers, filler and a zippie vase is the trend  so without hesitation you purchase it because you do not know any better.  We, however have not lost craft of flower arranging.  We base the arrangement on what’s in season, and  your budget.  If all you can afford is a $35 arrangement we can do it and so can the other florist but you’ll get whatever one else gets and with us you get so much more.

I believe it is important to find a florist to have a relationship with.  Once you get to know your florist they will get to know your home, your vessels and your likes and dis-likes.  John has made such relationships with most everyone in town.  To this day he can remember what vase you like to use on your dining table for Thanksgiving.  It surprises people when we tell them to bring their own vessels in.  Then they get it.  It is a craft that is slowly fading away.

Besides a floral shop, we sell gift items, and we have an event planner, a graphic designer and a chef on site.  Are clients now have a one stop shop.  I am working on getting the shop in a position where we can take care of most of our customers needs.  I just had the exterior of our building painted.  It is a fantastic color.  It is called Fairy Tale Blue and it can stand up to Tiffany Blue any day. I have painted part of the interior the Fairy Tale Blue and I have installed “clouds” from the ceiling.  People always ask how I made them, it’s easy I made the frames out of chicken wire and suspended them from the ceiling.  Then using plain white tissue paper we stuck the tissue in the holes of the chicken wire.  The texture, the feel and look is fantastic.  They have become quite popular and people are constantly taking photos and asking about them,  I always tell them it’s always partly cloudy in the shop.  They laugh.

William and Kate Get Married

It seems we have another Royal Wedding under our belts.  As I write this William and Kate are probably winding down from their day of pomp and circumstance.
This Royal wedding I spent watching on my computer via CNN.  It was a surreal experience since I watched the previous Royal wedding while I was living in England.  I was 11 years old when Charles and Diana were married.  Watching the festivities of William and Kate’s wedding brought back the memories of when Charles and Diana were married.  It was fun, exciting and people were celebrating as if it was one of their own getting married.  Streets were closed and block parties popped up.  Pubs were filled with people and everyone decked out their homes, businesses, cars, bikes, and anything that may move and could be covered in banners, ribbons, balloons, etc.  They made the day a nation holiday.  Everyone was off and if they were working they were still celebrating the Royal wedding.  At 41, 30 years later, I did not think much about William and Kate’s wedding.  I heard about it, saw all the media about it, talked about it but never really sunk in.  As I watched all the festivities I was envious that I had not made the trip to London or the very least to England to spend it with my family which were celebrating in numbers.  Instead I sat on my stool in my shop at 7:00am watching it on my computer.  How things have changed in 30 years, I am older, grayer and a different person then I was 30 years ago.   I never thought I would be doing what I am doing now and this time I am alone and it just doesn’t feel the same.  I feel a certain emptiness with a bit of  ”if I had only thought about going”.  Why didn’t I think about it?  I have yet again missed out on another major part of history and where did I spend it?  Working.  When did I become this person?  The workaholic who thinks about nothing more than business, growing the business and making sure the margins are good.  Oh yeah, I remember, when the economy slowed to a mere simmer.
 Were not hoppin anymore.  I work 7 days a week to try to keep an income coming in.  Although I have to cut the schedule I am not sure my employees understand the amount of work I take on when I call them off.  They just complain.  I am re-creating my business in the hopes I will be sitting pretty as things turn around.  But in order to that I must make changes.  Changes that will hurt people’s feelings, changes that some will not understand and other changes that I have more support then one can handle.   Changes in a business can be difficult, I work with people who do not welcome change.  It up-sets their world and I am always shocked by that.  As designers I would have thought any sort of change for the better would be welcomed but not with this group.  They take it personally, like nothing you have ever seen or could understand.  I have learned that I can no longer tell my employees I am making a change instead I have to gradually do it.  I have to sneak it in or make it their idea in order for it to happen.  It takes so much work sometimes that I wonder if it is worth the effort.
With business being the way it is I find I have must take on any work that comes my way, but I am thankful to be  multi-faceted which allows me to work in many different fields.
A client of mine called me months ago and asked me to come over to her home.  She was planning a party and needed my help. Come to find out that she had decided to host her own William and Kate party.  But not only is she hosting a party but it’s a sleep over for her and her girl friends.  I should note here the women who were invited to the sleep over are all in their 60′s.  She is excited and you can tell she is vested in this as she opens her trunk to expose all of the treasures she has been collecting for months.  It was a treasure trove of goodies.  Everything from ribbon to frames, mugs to pictures of the prince and his bride.  It was truly a remarkable treasure this side of England.
The furniture been removed from a room she referred to as the “man cave”.  Her idea of a man cave and my idea of a man cave is certainly a little different.  Her man cave is decorated with amazing art work, furniture, fabrics, pillows and is properly accessorized.  The walls are painted a light butter color and it is very comfortable and lovely.  Not the man cave I have seen before.  She had three queen size beds brought into the space and had two more flat screen TV’s installed.  She also had a special HD cable brought in so they could be assured to see the wedding in flawless quality.  However, with the addition of the new TV’s this required the cables to be pulled across the walls from one TV to the next.  This caused an eye sore which is one reason she called me. We needed to somehow hide the nasty cables and soften the room up.  My client had purchased most everything and anything that had a sparkle or glitter on it.  She found  frames, candles, beads, garlands, fabric, pillows, you name it.
I enlisted the help of my good friend Amy Granger.  Amy and I have a great relationship.  She is a graphic designer and works out of my shop.  Her talent levels are amazing and she blows my mind away me with all she can do.  I knew bringing her on would be great for me because she could see things in a different manner and shed some light on things I was getting blocked on.
My client had purchased a bunch of fabric, it was her idea to use the fabric in some fashion to cover the cables.  As you can see below we used it to soften the area behind one of the TV’s but also to hide the cables that ran up and around the doors.  We also used fabric to give an “entrance” to the “man cave”.  Adding the fabric around the entrance to the room really help pull the project together.  As I was adding ribbon and bows to the corners of the doors Amy was trying to find another use for a piece of fabric that we had left over.  She managed to use it as a table-cloth and covered a side table by one of the beds.  Adding the fabric to that little table really brought the room together and seemed to polish off the room.  The next task was for my client to have the beds made with linens and accessories in soft hues of blue and pink.
My client wanted a dinner fit for a king.   Lisa Peterson a  well-known cater here in Boise was brought in to prepare a first class dinner.  A butler was hired to come in at 10pm in coat and tails to waited on the women hand and foot all night until the following morning.  A special cocktail was concocted which was certainly assured to make for a very giddy evening.    A lovely 4 course dinner which was laid out on her grandmothers table linens, the finest silver and the most incredible china and crystal. It was certainly set for a princess.
And least but not last, flowers.  Who can have a party without flowers?  If the princess is spending $1.3 million on flowers then my client should have some for her party, right? The table linen which is 75+ years of age is a pale blue with the slightest silvery damask pattern on it.  We placed little crystal vases down the center of the table and my client draped pearls around the vases.  We used the palest of pink roses in the vases and added the very fragrant freesia (a favorite of mine).  On the side board is the most amazing piece of pottery I have ever seen.  It is creamy in color with animals painted on one side and people painted on the other.  My client wanted hues of blue .  We put  large hydrangea blooms cut directly from the plant with greenery to make it fuller and lovely.
 The crystal, sliver and china were top-notch and really set the stage for something so very lovely, elegant and sophisticated.  This was truly a first class event.
In the living room she wanted color, deep dark reds in a vase that could handle height a room that could handle color.
Downstairs she has this amazing wire basket.  It looks vintage and well taken care of.  She places it on a coffee table, we put succulents with moss in it.  It will go from the coffee table to outside on the patio once the Idaho weather warms up.  I loved the basket and LOVED how it turned out with the succulents in it.  
I loved how everything came together.  This was certainly my client vision and I believe it turned out better then she anticipated.  I was happy that she was happy and I I think all of our hard work all paid off.  The eye to detail was amazing.  When I was there helping place the arrangements she had friends there lining up the flatware on the table to make use everything was lined up probably.
I have yet to spent to my client about how things went.  I am sure things went very well.  She had everything planned to the minute and with the company she was keeping I am sure they all had a blast.
Another Royal Ceremony is over and now it is time to move forward with our lives.  It was fun to watch the new age of Royals get married.  I still wish I had gone but I was there in spirit.

Easter!

Well guys it is that time of year again.  Not sure where you are from but here in Boise, Idaho the weather does not look like it is going to hold up for us.  Rain, and cold temps are in store with us.  I found this recipe on kubiena’s blog.  I figured a nice roasted leg of lamb would be nice on easter, warm, succulent and the aroma of orange, lemon and garlic wafting through the air as family and friends start to assemble for your lunch or dinner.  Sounds pretty good to me.  Take the bone from the leg of lamb and make a lovely stock and use that stock in a shepherds pie with the left over meat from the lamb, mash up any left over potatoes and you’ve got it going.

Serves 6
1
leg of lamb  (2-2,5 kg /5 pounds)
3
whole bulbs of garlic, broken into cloves, unpeeled
1
bottle of white wine
2
untreated lemons, zest and juice
1
untreated orange, zest and juice
2
sprigs of fresh rosemary, finely chopped leaves
2 tbsp
paprika
2 tbsp
liquid honey
4 tbsp
olive oil
coarse sea salt
freshly ground black pepper
1kg/2lbs
potatoes
4 tbsp
1 tbsp
butter
cumin
coarse sea salt/ malton sea salt
1,5kg/3lbs
green asparagus, stringy ends removed (3 lbs)
1
large bunch fresh coriander, leaves chopped
peel of one salted lemon from a jar, finely chopped *); alternatively peel of an untreated lemon
3 tbsp
olive oil
coarse sea salt/ malton sea salt
freshly ground black pepper
Preheat the oven to 120°C.
Season the leg of lamb with salt and pepper and fry it all around in a roasting tray. Remove the leg of lamb from the roasting tray.
Mix the zests of lemons and orange with paprika, rosemary and honey and rub the lamb with the mixture.
In the meantime heat the white wine in the roasting tray and add the lamb and the garlic gloves. Cover with a lid or with aluminium foil and roast for about 7 hours in the oven. **)
After 7 hours remove the lamb, add the orange and the lemon juice stir and reduce the liquid on high heat. Season with salt and pepper. Sieve the sauce and put it into a saucier.
Cook the potatoes and cut them into bite-sized pieces. Toss the cumin in a non-stick pan, add the butter and when melted add the potatoes. Mix all together and season with salt.
Cook the asparagus standing in boiled salted water in a high pot for about 10 minutes. Rinse and mix with lemon zest, coriander, salt and pepper and serve drizzled with olive oil.
Serve the whole leg of lamb. I like to have such a big piece of meat, it looks so impressive for me. Serve with the cumin potatoes, the asparagus and the meat juice.
*) jared salted lemons are an oriental speciality and easy to get in oriental markets. I really like the special flavour. If not on hand, here is a very fast recipe to prepare them yourself (from Tom Kime: „Sweet & spicy“):
Put 2 untreated lemons in a small pot, cover with water. Add 3 tbsp sea salt and cook them till the peel is soft and you can stick it with a knife (approx. 25 minutes, depending on the thickness of the peel). Rinse, cut into quarters and remove the flesh. Use the peel immediately or put it into a jar covered with oil and keep it in the fridge till using (it keeps fresh for about 6 weeks).
**) we served this leg of lamb for lunch and I disliked the prospect of getting up so early. That’s why I followed an advice from Sophie Dudemaine. She recommanded to start roasting the leg of lamb the day before. I did so and removed the lamb after 4 hours, cooled it and finished the roasting next day. And I must admit: the leg of lamb was juicy and I was well-rested.
BEETS
This roasted beet salad with parmesan dressing is really killer.  I mean the best thing ever, besides those short ribs.  I know I posted this recipe before but this would be prefect for easter dinner too.
Ingredients
  • 2 shallots, minced
  • 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
  • 3 tablespoons Banyuls vinegar or red-wine vinegar
  • 4 medium red beets, scrubbed well and trimmed
  • 1/2 bunch plus 2 stems fresh thyme
  • Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
  • 4 ounces Parmesan cheese, coarsely grated (2 cups)
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 3 cups watercress or baby mesclun
  • 1/4 cup pistachios coarsely chopped

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Combine shallots, 2 tablespoons oil, and the vinegar in a bowl. Line a piece of foil with parchment. Place beets and 1/2 bunch thyme in center, drizzle with remaining 2 tablespoons oil, and season with salt and pepper. Fold, crimping edges to seal, place on a baking sheet, and roast until beets are tender, about 1 hour. Let beets cool slightly, then peel. Cut beets into 1/4-inch-thick slices.
  2. Place Parmesan, cream, and remaining 2 stems thyme in a medium saucepan over medium-low heat. Gently simmer, stirring often, until cheese melts and dressing is thick, about 5 minutes. Discard thyme. Place beets on a serving platter. Drizzle with warm dressing, top with greens, then drizzle with shallot mixture. Sprinkle pistachios on top, and serve immediately.

Staying local!

Good afternoon!

I was asked yesterday why I started a blog.  I had to think about for a sec.  I sort of changed the subject while I thought about the question.  For some reason it caught me off guard and I oddly felt exposed.  I simply answered “I want to share my idea’s”.  I want people to see some of the things I see.  My mind is always coming with ideas.  I am constantly on the look for fun fresh ideas and I feel I should share what I have found and what I have come up with.  I guess I am sharing myself with you.  I feel I am mis-understood a great deal.  Those who come in my store or come to an event I have done see my work, my ideas, and my creative style but no one knows the passion that stands behind it.  I do not think people get it, those who do are similar to me.  It is rare to find that person to which you have a “I get you” moment.  For those I do have those feelings with tend to stick in my head.  I want so much to tap into their inner being to see what is going on in their head.  So, I came up with a blog.  I put down what is going on, what I am doing and what I am seeing.

I have been working on trying to come up with an alternative to glass vases for my shop.  I like the idea of using reclaimed wood in place of glass.  I just feel the use of glass on a daily basis is a waste.  Wood is something that can break down if tossed away.  Glass just bogs down the system.  I asked my father to make me some boxes for me.  He is a great deal more talented in making things then I am, he in turn made me a bunch of boxes which I have either painted or stained.  I will attach photos for your viewing pleasure.

A dozen pink roses

Some style

Getting ready for Easter

I made a few arrangements in a couple of them and had one of my designers do the same.  I like how they turned out and I think I am on a new venture.

I have been feeling conflicted about what I say and what I do lately.  Since I am a small business owner I tend to lecture people on why they need to support local business and not venture towards the large (big box) places to shop.  STAY LOCAL I say.  Yet, I grocery shop at one of those large “big box” stores and I never gave it any thought.  I tell people I don’t shop at the local store because it is so expensive, yet I hear people saying the same about my business.  It makes my skin crawl when I hear people say it then I get defensive.

I had an awakening the other day when I walked into my favorite “big box” store.  I was floored to see they had completely re-done their floral department.  Not only did they re-do it but they installed all new fixtures and huge refrigerator units.  I was shocked. It took me by surprise and I was even more shocked to see the guy working in the department was from one of the other flower shops in town.  He had made the leap from small business, to the big corporate world.  His department was lovely.  Over stuffed with flowers.  The flowers were arranged by color code, it was beautiful and clean.  The prices were amazing, I could not believe some of the prices, they were less than what I could buy them from my wholesaler.  

After the shock had worn off I was immediately hurt.  I was hurt by this big giant that I patronized daily, gave my hard-earned money too and loved so much.  How could they do this to me?  Why would they do something to take away from my business, I mean I shop there, support them yet they do this to me.  OUCH!  It hurt and I still feel the sting.  I now can not ever shop there again.  What was I thinking supporting this “big box”?  What was I thinking and why would I do something so silly?  Why didn’t I stay local?  Maybe my local store could have expanded their organic food section, maybe they could have asked me to do the flowers in the their flower case had I shopped there more.  Needless to say, I am embarrassed.  I hang my head down- I’m shameful that I have supported the very thing that is taking away from me.

I beg you to please buy local as much as you can, I know there are times when it just does not work out but I beg you, PLEASE!

Now for a little sharing. I use to teach cooking classes at Williams-Sonoma.  They had a braising series I was teaching.  They asked me to make a short rib recipe.  All I can tell you is that you must make this recipe!  If you do anything at all in your life you must make this recipe at least once.  Invite some friends over that LOVE food and I mean LOVE food.  I always tell people once you eat my short ribs you’ll want to marry me.  Really, there that good.  I serve mine with soft polenta with grated parmesan cheese.  YUM!

When I made these for my class I had doubled the recipe and kept some for me.  I announced to my friend Gloria that I would be coming over for lunch and I would be bringing short ribs.  She was giddy with excitement, I clearly could hear it in her voice over the phone when I told her.  Her kids were magically asleep when I arrived.  I warmed up the ribs finished the polenta and we sat in total silence eating.  I kid you not, I do not think either one of took a breath.  We gorged on the luscious sauce and savored the succulent meat that had been braising all day.  Gloria got up from the table and grabbed a baguette or some random bread and we used the torn pieces of bread as utensils and consumed the rest of the sauce and meat out of the pot.

I love Gloria for her passion for food, her family and many other things!  She is part Filippino and can cook like no ones business.  When she cooks it’s truly a treat and when her mother is in town watch out.

I hope you all enjoy this recipe as much as Gloria and I have and the many others I have made it for.  Thanks Williams-Sonoma for sharing this recipe.

Pure heaven!

Ingredients:

  • 3 lb. beef short ribs
  • Salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 3 oz. pancetta, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
  • 2 Tbs. olive oil
  • 1 yellow onion, diced
  • 1 carrot, peeled and diced
  • 2 celery stalks, diced
  • 3 garlic cloves, chopped
  • 1 1/2 Tbs. tomato paste
  • 1 bottle (750ml) Barolo or other full-bodied red wine
  • 1 Tbs. veal or beef demi-glace
  • 1 fresh rosemary sprig
  • 1-inch piece Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese rind
  • Polenta for serving

Directions:

Generously season the short ribs with salt and pepper. Dredge the ribs in flour and shake off the excess.In a dutch oven over medium-high heat, cook the pancetta until crispy, 3 to 5 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate.Working in batches, add the ribs to the insert and brown on all sides, about 10 minutes total. Transfer to a plate.Pour off the fat from the insert. Set the insert over medium heat and warm the olive oil. Add the onion, carrot and celery and sauté until soft, about 10 minutes. Add the garlic and tomato paste and cook for about 1 minute. Add 1 cup of the wine and stir to scrape up the browned bits. Add the remaining wine and the demi-glace and bring to a simmer. Add the short ribs, the pancetta, rosemary and cheese rind. Set the insert on the slow-cooker base. Cover and cook on high for 4 hours, stirring occasionally.Skim the fat off the cooking liquid, and discard the rosemary and cheese rind. Transfer the ribs to a serving bowl and cover with aluminum foil. Pass the vegetables and cooking liquid through a food mill into a fry pan. Simmer over medium heat until reduced by one-third, about 10 minutes. Adjust the seasonings with salt. Serve the ribs and sauce over polenta. Serves 4 to 5.

Another wooden box

In my quest to find an alternative to glass vases I have had these wooden boxes (or crates) made to be used in place of the standard glass vase.  I am not looking to completely get away from using glass but I am looking to soften the amount we use.  I figured little wooden boxes would be a good alternative.  Monday I posted a picture of a wooden box I had made.  Well I am posting a picture of a larger wooden box.  I have only planted succulents in these boxes thus far.  However we plan on making flower arrangements today in a few to see how they look and get a feel of cost.  I am posting a picture of the larger box with planted succulents that went out to a client yesterday.  Let me know your thoughts or if you have a better alternative that I am missing or just not thinking about.

Thanks.

Finds…

Good morning.

I was searching through e-mails this morning; I get a up-date from a blog called design sponge.  The stuff they post on their blog is pretty cool and I find some great inspirations from some of the posts.  I believe their based out of NYC. and they have quite a following.  You should sign up and get there postings, there is some ideas out there that are pretty amazing.
