If you’ve spent any time on this website (or with me in person), you’ll know that I’m a girl who loves a variety of things. Sweatpants and dresses. Fresh fruit and queso. Sunny days and thunderstorms. Flower crowns and whiskey.
We all have parts of ourselves that seem to contradict the other parts – I will preach about eating fresh, whole foods one day, and indulge in a delicious plate of french fries the next – but it’s these contradictions that make us interesting, multi-dimensional people.
That’s how the Celtic Flower Crowns + Cocktails Workshop was born. I wanted to combine two of my unrelated loves and gather like-minded folks for an evening of creating while sipping libations.
I’ll be partnering with two terrific businesses and their owners, Julie Abrera of Beaumont House Design and Scott Harris of Catoctin Creek Distilling Company. We all agree that women (and men!) can indulge their softer, floral-living side as well as the whiskey-swilling side.
The workshop will be held at Catoctin Creek Distillery in Purcellville, VA on March 16th. Being the day before St. Patrick’s Day, Scott will be behind the bar mixing up Celtic cocktails – your ticket includes two, but feel free to purchase more throughout the evening! Julie will be providing both local and sourced blooms and walking everyone through the step-by-step process to create an Irish-inspired spring flower crown. And of course I’ll be there taking photos of the whole event, and also holding down the fort in a photo booth which will be totally decked out in florals and other springtime pretties. About a week after the event, I’ll send out a gallery to all attendees with information on how to download your images, which are also included in your ticket. Be sure to read to the bottom of the post to find out what you can win at the event, and how to earn an extra entry!

I make whimsical art for color-lovers and California dreamers. I'm based in Virginia, outside of Washington, D.C. where there are most decidedly no palm trees in sight.
