The first few years I forced paper whites for holiday markets, I had more than I could reasonably sell, and ended up with 50ish blooming in my house at once. Paper whites are REALLY fragrant. Fifty blooming all at once was stunning, visually, and ummm, *overwhelming* olfactory. The family had a conversation with me, about said paper whites, and the terms & conditions under which I was allowed to grow them. Ahem.
I’m pleased to report that I kept a few for myself this year, and broke the rules about bringing them out of the solar shed & into the house. Turns out, I can get away with two blooming at once. No one has said one word to me. And they are getting me through these short days of winter. Here’s to lengthening days & melting snow/ice.

Chances are, we’re gonna look like this Saturday morning, you crazy snow lovers, you. The potential for hazardous road conditions (coupled with slow growth on our greens courtesy of these frigid temps) means we’re calling it now. We will not be this Saturday, 1/11. Stay warm & safe.

No market for us 1/11 and 1/18. More about that in today's newsletter.

And that’s a wrap on our workshops for 2024. Look at the stunners our participants whipped up this morning! Y’all, if you missed out this year, don’t snooze next year. Imagine having one of these on your front door & how good it would feel to field the compliment on your gorgeous wreath with a “Oh, thanks! I made it!”

Anyone else recently update their IOS & now feel incredibly frustrated trying to figure out why your phone is a little jerk? If you haven’t updated yet, keep ignoring those prompts, friends. Because this is not the week to make tech tricky. Please forgive me for the partial view of our workshop flyer. I’ve shifted it so you can see the pertinent signup info. We’ve got one more workshop this Sunday with a couple spots left. We’ll be using our hands, clippers, floral wire & natural elements to craft beautiful wreaths. No digital anything required.

Another great workshop in the books for the dynamic duo, Carolyn & Jason . Our makers whipped out some gorgeous wreaths this morning & we were plenty warm despite starting the day in the lower 30s. Thanks so much to this wonderful group of folks!
Our last workshop of the year is this coming Sunday, 12/8. We have space for maybe 1-2 more. After that, we’re all done till maybe February 2025….we’re still in planning stages but are considering offering a forced bulb container garden workshop. We’ll see. Meanwhile, the planning stage gifts me extra reasons to indulge in some thrifting with my girls over their holiday breaks. I mean, can you ever really have too many cool old vintage containers?!

I mean, come on. Isn’t everyone simultaneously drying orange slices, gilding pinecones, making wreaths, doing laundry, and chopping a mountain of vegetables for tomorrow’s feast while listening to Bruce Springsteen? No? Just me? Well, okay. But, you know you are multitasking too. Come Saturday morning, when you are ready to shift to one gear, we have a seat for you in our wreath making workshop. Scroll for sign-up info. We’ve got a loaner torch heater & a crockpot of warm cider & a safe space to come craft for a bit. See ya Saturday!
