Hey friends! I had a little radio silence this week for the first time this year but am thrilled to be back. This blog is my happy place. As a former flower shop owner, I am a big cheerleader for local florists and I love chatting and talking shop with them. A string of errands last week led me to Megan's new shop in the SW Waterfront. SW Portland is experiencing a major boom right now and it's thrilling! The energy is refreshing and so is Megan's new branding and partnership with her friend, Annie. You might remember Megan from this post. Her modern style is a breath of fresh air in a city filled with an abundance of reclaimed wood and dark, misty days. Megan's new branding, photography on her site, and floral designs are super reminicent of Jane Packer (RIP) in the 90's (one of my biggest inspirations) and my beloved Poppybox, where I got my start. If you favor clean lines, and breathing room, you'll love this store.

Pia jane bijkerk » my heart wanders. Making the chapter openers was by far one of the most fun parts of making the book. Those of you who have followed the My Heart Wander blog project from the beginning may recall I made whimsical chalkboard numbers using flower petals to mark the countdown toward the photo submission deadline.
This became one of the strongest elements of the book from the very start as it was one of the ideas that my publisher loved and was keen for me to recreate as chapter openers. My “studio” to create these pages was the kitchen floor of the houseboat as it had the most light in the space with its 7 windows looking out over the canal. But it was also the rockiest part of the boat as it was higher than the main living space so I had to pick my days of shooting to be the calmest, and sunniest of all (not easy in a windy, cloudy city!). I set up the tripod and chalkboard and gathered my props on a section of the floor (so you have an idea, the floor was about 3 meters x 1 meter).
