FUCK YEAH, FLOWERS


Emily Thompson has just been crowned New York's "floral designer du jour."

Nobody who knows her expected any less.

I mean, I'd go for a tablescape of lady slipper orchids, maidenhair ferns, daffodils, crocuses, and dried beetles any day.

    just read that article at lunch, loved it.
    also:
    "When we described the aesthetic to other florists, the catalogs of bark containers fell off the shelves. Emily gets that it’s not Anthropologie or the Gift Show — that it’s more authentic.”
    more of this to come.... this fall in anthro's windows...

    Also, her website is TERRIBLE. What is that loading thing? HATE that. If your website doesn't load quickly on my awesome computer and super internet, you fail.
