Petal & Twig in the Sunday Seattle Times - and a Party Invitation

I'm thanking my editors at Pacific Northwest mag for printing an excerpt of my new book in today's Seattle Times. Check it out here for a first look at photos and text from petal & twig and to learn about simple, unintimidating, easy and fun flower arranging from the garden in every season. Yes, even in January; see witch hazel 'Jelena' below, in full, fragrant bloom today in my Langley garden. 

The story includes an invitation to the launch party for the new book this coming Wed night Feb 1, a benefit for the Miller Library - hope to see you there....also, today's issue of Pacific has a sneak preview of the brand new 2012 Great Plant Pick choices....

Congratulations! I can't wait to get my copy! I love the whole concept of arranging from your very own garden and landscape. A long overdue perspective. Much success with your book! xx

You must have written this book, just for me!! I can't think of anything that makes me happier than growing, snipping and arranging my blooms into bouquets! :) I'm looking forward to seeing it for more inspiration from the garden!
I love the photo of the witch hazel...the painting looks like a mirror reflecting the image back into the room because the colors are the same...It is a painting right?
I even snipped off a few blossoms from my witch hazel and floated them in a small bowl of water...very pretty!
