Making one's way as a free lance floral designer, not ready for a brick and mortar store front is challenging because you want people to know you're here. My avenue of entry is the  Larkspur Farmer's Market on Saturday. It is a small but spirited market in a very beautiful location. My stall location has my back to Mt. Tam, but I turn around and yep, it's right there, hasn't moved. I'm testing the waters with different ideas as to what to sell, how to make a go of it.
In the market picture, two of the arrangements were made by  Max Lampert. We've worked together for 11 years in her home staging business and have made hundreds of arrangements of the living and faux persuasion.. Together we give each other permission to push the edge with flowers, and what defines an "arrangement". Our belief is that anything is a candidate for exploration. Included in the market picture is a squash arrangement.And the idea for the arrangements in the ball jars is credited to the Monkey Flower Group in Sonoma.
