Featured: Our State Magazine
When Our State magazine called about doing an editorial called Beautiful Botanicals for their January 2016 issue, we could hardly contain our excitement! With five images of landscapes across the state of North Carolina in hand, we were tasked with creating floral arrangements inspired by each. From the mountains to the sea, goodness grows in North Carolina.
On newsstands everywhere tomorrow, January 5, enjoy the full editorial below photographed by Charles Brown.
Creatives for a Cause
It was such an honor to be a part of the first Creatives for a Cause event last week! Hosted by Molly from Ply, the event brought together creatives to host an evening of mini-workshops with 100% of attendees' registration fees benefitting UNC Children's Hospital.
The event feature chalk lettering by Maghon of All She Wrote Notes, pastels by Lisa Gaither, a DIY stationery bar from Molly of Ply, sweet treats from Sugar Euphoria, and a floral crown class taught by us! And of course, the lovely Rickhouse hosted our event!
Below are some of our favorite shots from Mikkel Paige Photography of the evening!
