fairmeadow

For the last 10 years, I have been smitten with growing flowers and succulents and creating arrangements. Taking inspiration from MCM modern design and architecture, I proudly introduce a new blog about my floral design work, fairmeadow.

I want to create interesting floral designs for your home or business... those of you in NW Indiana. I have so many ideas and I cannot wait to share them! This is the beginning of what I hope can become a successful and personally rewarding career. I'm ready for the challenge!

Honored to be able to contribute to their big day, my first fairmeadow project was my good friends' wedding. I loved every moment of creating the bouquets, boutonnieres, and table arrangements for them. This was the wedding I had been growing the succulents for and I was thrilled with the way everything turned out, especially the small arrangements I put together using vintage wooden bowls.

About the name, fairmeadow...
The subdivision I live in is called the Fairmeadows although there is only one sign designating it and the lettering on this brick wall is often hidden by overgrown shrubs. I think it was widely known as the Fairmeadows back in the 60s, 70s, and 80s but I doubt that anyone new to the neighborhood has a clue.

One of my favorite Eichler subdivisions in Palo Alto, CA is called Fairmeadow. Built in the 1950s with a maze of circular streets, it's a treat to look at from an aerial view and I can only imagine the excitement of seeing one Eichler after another back in the day as you drove around in circles. The adjacent Eichler neighborhood, Greenmeadow, has a less interesting street plan however the homes there are truly amazing.



I'm excited to share my new blog and I hope you will take a peek and see what I've been up to... and continue to look and see what happens next!
