Translating in-season Maine-farmed flowers and unexpected foraged materials into artful creations for others to enjoy is Megan’s life’s work. After yearning for a career change in 2013, she found a background in art translated easily to the medium of flowers and quickly established a thriving business with earth-friendly practices at the core of its mission.
1. HEIRLOOM CUT FLOWER SEEDS
“Have you ever said to yourself, I wish I could witness a miracle? If so, seeds are the way. Especially some of the vintage varieties collected by Johnny’s.”
2. ALL THE DENIM
“Four pockets are your saddlebags for coupe glasses, pruners, seltzers, toothbrushes, mittens, paddle wire, rocks… For every season and occasion—just button the top to make it fancy.”
3. ONE-OF-A-KIND VESSELS
“These ruched collars feel like dressing my garden flowers in ruffles. ANK’s ability to be both practical and fancy is inspiring.”
4. A WALK ON A FARM
“Grower and artist Meg Chase provides such inspired materials that make my work fresh every day and keep me excited about floral design, even after 13 years.”
5. MARBLED ART
“Hovercraft Books’ marble papers are all things beautiful, spontaneous and utilitarian. They are superb as framed wall art, but also make great gifts, craft material, and placemats.”
6. ISLE AU HAUT LULLABY
“Old Maine folkies, like the songs on Gordon Bok, Ann Mayo, and Ed Trickett’s Turning Toward the Morning, both ground me in this magical place I live and set me to imagining an inspiring parallel life here, one rich in the sea and the seasonal.”
7. PAPER VASES
“These playful Barcelona-designed paper vases let the simple things I cut from my yard, like flowering branches and tulips, become an absolute event in my home.”
