our friends mandy and steve invited a great group out to their farm last week, to help harvest the last of their flowers before the first frost arrives...
they had set up little work stations for each of us to do some flower arranging, on old bee boxes...buckets of flowers lined the greenhouse that we used as our work area, with more flowers spilling in from outside...
some of our favorite folks came along too: ginny branch, megan fowler of brown parcel press, and susan hable from hable construction. and to make the day even better, it was rebecca's birthday...a great way to spend the day...surrounded by friends, flowers, and creativity!
we all brought vases from our collections to use:

the light inside the greenhouse was a amazing, and rebecca and mandy had also set up different backdrops around the property: a dark one, a blue one, a white one, one with pattern...plus there was a ton of texture from the barn and outbuildings themselves...
afterwards, we shared a great potluck meal and visited as we lunched...it was a great day!
thanks, too, to our friends at Terrain, for writing a little bit about this party in their bulletin!
