october in the studio + in the garden
This past month has been a time of many projects coming to fruition, and I’m so excited to finally share my new botanical perfume, elettaria, with you. Inspired by the many requests I’ve received over the years for a perfume that echoes the cozy magic of our cardamom butter, this scent is truly special. I’ve layered artisan infusions of cardamom and vanilla made here in the studio together with the most delicious essences and absolutes I could find to create a long-lasting scent that radiates warmth and comfort. I hope you’ll love it!

started forcing the first of many batches of paperwhite bulbs at the studio. their fragrance and beauty works wonders to illuminate the colder, darker days that are surely ahead

milkweed seeds and fluff abound in our native plant beds at this time of the year. these are the seeds of the lovely pink swamp milkweed.
the white Japanese anemone popping up through the hydrangea, I could hardly tear myself away from this color combination!

So many fresh seasonal treats are arriving in the shop each day, as the weather cools and we settle into the longer nights. I invite you to cozy up with a cup of something warm and spicy and to perhaps draw a forest-scented bath…
