studio rien: valentine's day orders + *flower party* workshop tickets!
a little reminder, from me to you
Hello my duckies,
As I left the studio twenty minutes ago, I paused at the door and looked back — tall french tulips were dancing near the window, a pile of daffodils were bursting into orange bloom, and a lone branch of forsythia was glowing in the corner. Spring! It is here, at last, at least in the flower world.
It always saddens me that people don’t know that February and March are two of the most glorious months for flowers in New York. Checkerboard fritillaria, magnolia blossoms, perfectly scented Japanese sweet pea… it is all here and so buoyantly pretty. As I watch May and June (and September and October) fill up with weddings every day, it always seems a shame that these flowers don’t always get their moment to shine.
And so: a reminder! We are offering a few chances to bring some joy and perhaps a sigh of relief during this brutal winter. See below for details.
xo and with sap covered fingers, freyan
ps — I promise the next round of this newsletter will include our usual // around the studio // recs, and boy, do I have a pile up! A winery in Emilia Romagna! Electrolytes! Excessively pretty ceramics! It will be eclectic and not just a list of studio reminders, I promise!
valentine’s arrangements - feb 12 & 13
Valentine’s Day is, somehow, next week. If you are lucky enough to have loved ones near, I hope you take the excuse to send them a little sweetness. I’m offering a limited number of arrangements this year for local delivery or Boerum Hill pick up. They will be pretty as can be and full of early spring flowers. Order here.
