Thanksgiving, such special time to gather together
Well Hello there!
America has it’s unique holiday, that we don’t have back in Sweden. In Sweden right now we are all in Christmas mode in November, starting to plan & decorate for December. We do celebrate All Saints day, where we decorate graves and light candles for missed loved ones, but then it will be Advent & Lucia next. Here- in US we stop for a minute, and travel near and far to celebrate Thanksgiving. As a florist I have always loved this time, because the centerpieces for Thanksgiving are so wonderful to work with, the rich autumn colors of flowers, the texture in foliage and berries are fantastic to work with. We add pumpkins, gourds, and fruits to the table.

Small gatherings, large ones, there are always a place for flowers on the table. This year I work in my new studio, preparing both a workshop on November 21st, and then a Pop-Up-Shop where you can pick up flowers on Wednesday the 25th. I take all chances I get to work with centerpieces for this holiday, and hope my flowers will light up your table! A Friendsgiving, or a large family reunion or a small intimate dinner with a loved one, I wish you the best Thanksgiving, fill your plates with warmth & love, be grateful for what we have here & now and find joy & light in the world.
