Love Turns Winter to Spring

In love, that is what we are.  Drop-dead, head over heals, pinch me, in LOVE with this dreamy photo shoot we cooked up.  We were inspired by a beautiful vintage lace found at Santa Fe Fabrics with which Jessie used to make beautiful votive candle holders.  We're practically reduced to speaking in Ga's and Goo's about this romantically soft and glorious color palette.


It's wintery and wonderful!  The centerpieces are splashed with the silver and pewter of Brunia Berries and Leucadendron pods, ivory Hydrangeas and cream Polo roses and just a touch of purple Privet Berry.  It is warmed up with the most beautiful dusty pink rose called Quicksilver, ooooeee!


  

Call us crazy, but lil' ol' Babies Breath has been tugging on our heart strings saying, "Don't forget about me!"  We adore it en masse in these beautiful sterling julep cups.

  

 We just love this look for a winter holiday party or even a dreamy wedding!

Oh, what fun it is to play with flowers all day!

Merry Merry to all ya'll!

The gang at A&P wishes you a warm and wonderful holiday season!
P.S. did you know that the plural for ya'll is all ya'll??

It's beginning to look a lot like...

Well, you know the rest...
If you're good, you'll get a gold star.

These sparkly snowflake ornaments make us get all giddy!

Now all we need is snow for our frosty window panes.

Christmas is Santa Fe wouldn't be complete without a little turquoise!

Come stop by and get a little cheer.  We may even do a Christmas jig for you if you're lucky.  Be sure to ask about our fresh Christmas greens.  We've got loose Princess Pine, the most fragrant Noble Fir and beautiful berried Holly for your mantle or tabletop.  We even have fresh garland, swags and wreaths to welcome everyone who comes to your door. 

It all smells SO good you may even wear the garland like a feather boa around your neck, like Jessie tends to do....

Epicurean Delights

A bridal bouquet made for a chef!  With a name like Artichokes and Pomegranates, we were ready for the challenge!  We used burgundy Artichokes, Rose hips, Cherry Brandy Roses, Freesia, Bay leaves, Rosemary and Sage.  So good, you could almost eat it!
