pot & box goes blue…

whew! this morning (if 4:30am counts as ‘morning’) pot & box set up the president’s tailgate at crisler arena…
despite the hour, i was so excited to work on such a big project, complete with eight 14′ birch trees and lots of up-lighting.
i think i’ll be dreaming in maize & blue.

let’s hear it for fresh flowers!

pot & (blume)box

our friends over at blumebox posted about pot & box…
we recently used their super cool 4″ cubes in mocha for a wedding.

love those recycled/recyclable blumeboxes!

the future of (floral) design

last friday, pot & box provided flowers for the design
school’s dinner in the liberty lofts glasshouse.
the place was totally transformed.
black curtains everywhere,
and did i mention the dinner was taped?
(oops, i mean digitally recorded.
but, hey, coming from the girl who still has cassettes and VHS.)
and yes, the dinner guests we recorded.
which means one thing to me: pot & box is FAMOUS!
at least in a design lecture somewhere, someday. but still.
