June flower class is in sesson! I am loving the homework that is rolling in from around the world! Above, a gorgeous bouquet from Sandra Grieden.
I loved this hand-tied and packaging by Adrian Parkinson.
Here is Erin Boyle's lovely hand-tied. She's blogging her experience in the class, which you can read on Gardenista.
There are still a few spots left in the July and August sessions! Sign up here, or email me if you have questions about it.
Happy flower arranging!

Here are a few moments of calm and beauty from what feels like a bit of a race track life as of late. Above, shopping for props (for a food ahoot you'll see later this year) at Maven Collective.
Evening bike rides are my therapy!
Breakfast, blogging, and British magazines.
Violets and my favorite vintage shoes.
How is your June?

I am so, so proud of all my May flower students! I was blown away by their work! I had plans to feature more of their flower arrangements here but I ran out of space and time. There were students from as far away as Australia, Greece, and England! Here are just a few of their lovely creations. The charming arrangement above is by Maleeha Khan.
Above, an almost entirely homegrown bouquet by Laurie Heriz-Smith.
This pretty wild English arrangement is by Danyelle Matthews.
A lovely flower crown and wild arrangement by Hillary Schuster. (Photos by her husband).
Below, a sweet little arrangement by Shannon Yau.
More information about my flower class and sign up details here at Nicolesclasses.com. Big hug and thank you to all the May students!

Hi friends! Here are a few of my recent product finds I've written about over at my Babble blog. I recently discovered the Japanese brand, Laula, and am terribly fond of their clothing with its clean lines and special litte details. I am also dreaming of summertime, the beach, flowers (as always!), and am on the hunt for the perfect pair of overalls! More of my Babble posts below:

One of my flower students, Nancy, made this oh so sweet flower crown for her daughter! I thought these photos were adorable! In the third week of Flower Arranging 101, I teach the students to make flower crowns. She used waxfower, forget me nots, and sage, and below is a version with waxflower and lily of the valley.

Instagram is my place to focus on the light, pretty, happy moments in life! I've found it to be a little exercise in gratitude.
1. I did a massive spring cleaning and filled my house with geraniums.
2. My spring coffee table with lilacs and viburnum.
3. I ate the first peaches of the season with some creme fraiche and mint.
4. I got a new roommate! A swan!!

I'll never be a chic French girl, but I can send away to Paris for adorable French clothing. Charlotte Auzou makes the prettiest pieces, always with simple lines, infused with just a bit of sweetness. I have my eye on this purse and I love this bold pink top!
See more goodness at Charlotte's Etsy shop and blog.

I thought it would be fun to close out the week here on Frolic! with some work from my flower students. What's fun is that my students are from all over! I'll be sharing more of their work in the coming weeks. Above is a hand-tied bouquet from Rebekka Seale in Nashville. Below, is a bouquet from Kate Miss in LA. It's been such a fun week watching their work roll in!
We still have a few spots left in our summer sessions if you'd like to sign up! I hope you all have a lovely weekend!
