local spotlight

I love seeing a local business whose products I love and philosophy I admire give back.  Through March 24th (yikes! that is tomorrow) Heath Ceramics will be donating 25% of online sales to Architecture for Humanity's relief efforts for Japan.  Amazing.  Not only will you be purchasing a beautiful item that will last you a lifetime, but you will be helping others in the process.  

LOCAL SPOTLIGHT

I want to preface this post by letting you know that I have never actually been to Church Street Flowers. That being said, I have received absolutely stunning bouquets from them on a few separate occasions as well as experienced their extremely friendly customer service.  Peonies are my all time favorite flower and were included in these bouquets, but there were also the most unique blooms and additions that I have ever seen. I actually sat and photographed each bouquet from a million different angles to try and capture their beauty (first time doing this with any floral arrangement might I add). So, if you are looking to make someone feel special - or just want to pick up a visual treat for yourself - I can not recommend Church Street Flowers enough. They are now my go-to florist in San Francisco and I hope to work with them on events in the future...
