Gift boxes! I can’t tell you guys how many times I’ve started over in life! When I was 18 I hitchhiked around and found myself in Boston. A few years later I gave up everything I had and moved to LA with just one antique trunk full of everything I owned in the world. After a few years of acquiring things in LA, Quinn and I sold everything and left our DTLA loft to backpack through central and South America. After that whole adventure (whose tale could fill a hundred posts full of stories of adventure and suspense) we made our way to New York with nothing but backpacks and jungle clothes. We were v unfashionable in a city that can sometimes feel like a 24/7 fashion show. Anyway, I have been broke my whole life and I’ve also started over so many times. In the past year I have been going through the process of collecting new things with intention and shedding all the old things that I clung to just because they were all I had. It’s a type of self care. Nesting. I have very little “stuff” and everything I have is super intentional. There’s one single shelf in our living room. It has a large black and white photo I took, a skull of a male springbuck that we got in Scotland, a turtle shell we found in a ditch on our 6 acres of land we bought years ago, a piece of art I treasure dearly from my friend James (@handydandyproductions ) a candle and a couple of beautiful vases. Check our stories for photos! I adore each one of these things and they each give me so much joy. With these gift boxes that are now available on our website I’ve tried to use the same barometer in curating each box. Do I adore each piece? Yes, yes I do. I absolutely adore each element of each box. If I had a hundred homes to fill with things I adored I would have all these things. Luckily I have a shop instead.
In honor of #pride and this being #pride weekend in Nashville and in the interest of #bivisibility, I have a tiny confession to make. It’s a subject that doesn’t come up much in my life anymore because of my (mostly) heteronormative, long term relationship with my man, Quinn. But... before Quinn stole my heart away for himself and thoroughly swept me off my feet, I dated both men and women. For a long time I considered myself bi. I guess I still do, but in today’s world of loose labels I’m not super preoccupied with giving a name to whatever it is that I am. I am attracted to human beings. Some of them have lady parts and some have man parts and some are bit less straightforward in the “parts” department. I came out to my family when I was 13 and my stepmom discovered that I had a girlfriend. Everyone was aghast and they all thought it was “just a phase” or that I was “doing it for attention”. These are phrases that routinely get lobbed at bi people. You’re either on your way to full on gay or your doing it for attention. I’ll admit that I allowed my family to believe that it was just a phase because it was so much easier. I told them about the boyfriends I had but never the girlfriends. It was simple because my relationships with men tended to last much longer than the ones I had with women anyway. My friends all knew, but not my family. And then Quinn came along and the need to “come out” to my family became even less important. How would I even bring it up? “Hey, just thought you should know, even though I’m in a straight relationship right now, I actually put the B in LGBTQ!” What did it matter? I’ve come to the conclusion that it does matter. For visibility’s sake. In the interest of making every part of the vast spectrum of sexuality “normal” and acceptable. In the interest of signaling to others that it’s ok to let your family and everyone you love know who you really are. All the parts of you. And in the interest of squashing the idea that nobody is truly bi. It’s not a phase, or a stop on the path to full blown gaytown. It’s a real thing. Something about this subject makes makes me feel so vulnerable! 😬 just press post!
Dahlia season is upon us! Every year it gets earlier and earlier. I distinctly remember dahlia season being a fall thing. Now it’s decidedly a summer thing. And then this year we’ve had dahlias and peonies at the same time! That’s never happened in my 13 years of designing. I am NOT complaining! • • • • • #dsfloral #blooooms #bhgflowers #rsblooms #vscoflowers #dspink #underthefloralspell #nashvilleflorist #sweetdreamsdlf #floraldesign #dscolor #dslooking #craftsposure #imsomartha
