BYOV: Bring Your Own Vase
I knew I'd be shooting our new arc lamp so I wanted to do the flowers in our awesome junk store brass vase. The trouble is, the shape and size is a bit odd and I never really know how to do it justice. My solution was to take vase to our local flower shop (The Flower Room) and let them figure out. I told Helen what colours I wanted and how much I wanted to spend ($30) and left her to it. The result is gorgeous as usual--Mike especially loves the dogwood. So if you've got a lovely but challenging vase, save yourself the headache and let the florist do what they do best.

Mike and I are inveterate “junkers,” a fact I’ve made pretty clear here on styleNorth. What I haven’t done before now, is share the location of our favourite haunts, not because I’m afraid you’ll strip the joints clean, but because I’m afraid you’ll venture out and be disappointed because the stores are full of, well, junk!
