When Marie Flanigan calls, you answer. She is the hardest working mom in her industry. She understands interior design like a ninja and she makes magic with her marketing team to make sure everyone knows.

Small businesses don’t just make it by producing an amazing product. You also have to align your self with ambitious artist that make moves. You can’t sit back and wait for someone to speak your existence into reality. Gosh I wish you could.

Watching the Marie Flanigan team create a lifestyle brand based on their super successful interior design firm has been amazing. They understand what it takes and I am always honored to hear from them. These fierce women have a knack for design and I want my flowers all over it!

Just recently they reached to collaborate with another amazing brand and we couldn’t resist to join along. Christofle was laughing a portion of their 2019 fine china in the Houston Galleria and they requested Marie Flanigan create a memorable tablescape to show off their goodies. Here is what we created.

We might possibly be surrounded by some of the most creative, talented, ambitious women in the world. They are hustlers, go getters, ones that never stop creating and being motivated.  This week we got a chance to collaborate with some of the best. Marie Flanigan from Marie Flanigan Interiors, Caroline Harper of House of Harper and Mostess Box.  

We are got together to create some promotional material, as there was a looming storm that didn't allow us to shoot outside. We made lemonade people.  The reality is that the storm didn't even come till the next day, because that is what happens in reality.  You plan, plan, plan and it never quite goes the way you think.  Fast forward to today and boom.  The most gorgeous day you have ever seen and the party once again is on and moving forward.

We can't to see how it all comes together, but in the meanwhile we will show you the goodies from last week.  As any chance we get to show off our work through a professional lens is a good day.

Here's to many more collaborations with Houston's creatives and gorgeous days like today that will allow our flowers to shine.

As I develop my home garden I had the chance to use some of the goodies I have been growing.  Because I am not 100% what works with the soil and amount of sunshine we get at the new house, I have been limiting the items to mostly greens.  The highly textural items that make the difference and leave the flower growing to the professional.  At least for now.  Can you spot the home grown blooms? 

We added our caladiums to this mix for a highly textured accent.  And my gosh, what about those amazing ranunculus, flown in from Japan! Yes, Japan.  They were just as amazing, if not more, in person.

Signing off with a too be continued.  As there will be many more of these collaborations as you can never have enough!
