IN THE ISSUE: Celsia Florist Talks Traditions

Oh the lengths we'd go to steal Tahnée's floor length Anthro skirt. We have a particular fondness of maxis and for the Australian-born talent who generously shared her words and wisdom in Issue IV of The Refinery...

"Traditions are what we create when treasured memories meet new experiences."

To be honest I was feeling a wee bit ba-humbug about the whole 2013 holiday season. Drywall dust sure knows how to put a damper on Christmas cheer, but Tahnée's toast to "new traditions" has me reconsidering the whole Scrooge act. 

"-- there are no rules when it comes to traditions." 

So while my childhood Nutcracker collection may not be making it's annual debut, we may be adopting a new 'open presents in mom & dad's bed' policy this season, complete with cinnamon buns, egg nog and the Josh Groban Christmas CD on repeat. 

That man can sing 'Ave Maria' like no other and this woman can arrange breathtaking florals like no one we know, meet Tahnée from Celsia Florist...

Floral Inspiration with Kari Herer

The prints above are made by Kari Herer - she is really an inspiration to artists, photographers and designers around the world. I have always been a fan of Kari's work, and with spring seeming to really "spring" these last few days it seemed like the perfect fit to feature her work this week.

Having recently acquired a new print of Kari's I felt the need to share my love for her with all of you! 

I love the pencil sketch, warm floral combo - there really is nothing like these one of a kind prints from Kari. Take a look through her Etsy page and maybe order a print for yourself! Enjoy!
