june’s edge

"June's edge. The sun / 

Turns kind."

Hello from studio & garden as rose season gives way to high summer! A thunderstorm has moved in over the neighborhood, as I bottle up a small batch of big magic: our limited-edition rose, cardamom & sandalwood perfume extrait. If you’ve been waiting on more of this precious blend, now’s the time. The heat & humidity make this scent bloom so beautifully, I can’t wait for you to try it! Also delighted to say that our summer-limited edition skincare treats will be available again soon. Be sure to subscribe to our newsletter to be the first to know when they are ready!

A lush few weeks in the garden this month, after the rain. White swamp milkweed and echinacea mingle below the uninhibited trumpet vine. The deep blue of the spiderwort and the orange of the butterfly weed play off of one another, while the meadowsweet & eryngium look on. A time of exquisite beauty.

Until next time,
