I worked up front in the shop today - first time in a long while. The girls and Eric took most of the day off, to watch basketball and rest up for a very nutty week ahead. It was nice to be alone and to ring people up for soaps...show off all my new begonias.

I guess I wasn't alone - I had Nea and Otis around, a very loud welcoming committee for anyone brave enough to open the door and come in.

Tomorrow we start a big installation of plants and flowers at the Anthropologie in Rockefeller center...I'm curious to see how it turns out and will snap some pictures to share...also we will be doing a pop-up shop there starting Wednesday, so all you mid-towners can visit Saipua without hauling yourselves to Brooklyn. You won't get to see the kids though...
