Flowers from Jodi McGregor

From Katrina & James via Jodie McGregor Flowers

It’s so easy to forget birthdays, get caught up in things, not register the milestones in friends’ lives. One can always do better, non?

Flowers arrived this week on Olive’s birthday, accompanied by a note congratulating us on making it through the first year. I heart friends.

Olive & I made these thank you cards. Well, Olive flailed about and grew increasingly tetchy while I hurriedly covered her in paint and splodged a few hand prints on parchment. I wish I wasn’t wearing my cream cashmere cardigan at the time. But I can tell she’s grateful, too… deep down.

Thank you

Thank you

My neighbour Anna is a florist. She had a holiday planned when Bronwyn asked if she could arrange the flowers for her wedding. Anna suggested me, so I had my first (paid) gig as a wedding florist recently.

Here’s some pics of a few of my favourite arrangements. They’re hyper-bright but looked beautiful against the white linen and simple, chic setting of the Bondi Surf Lifesavers’ Club.
