farm to table

June 14, 2014 by Taryn Antoniou in South boston, Food, Local

Many moons ago, when I lived in South Boston, this little shop filled with all organic and locally grown goods opened up called American Provisions.  My best girl and I were their biggest fans!  We signed their petition to allow them to sell alcohol and we purchased their food and coffee every chance we got.  The products they carried were not only delicious but the packaging was so cool.  

Two years later their shelves are stocked with beer and wine, their variety of products have grown so much and the shop was looking as fantastically merchandised as ever!  Everything in there is presented perfectly. From the vintage shopping baskets they offer at the door to the basket of freshly made breakfast sandwiches at the register, everything is just so damn Instagram worthy!  I'm telling you, presentation and packaging is everything..... as we learned $200 later.

They now carry Mast Brothers Chocolate which made me feel right at home!  Grabbed one with a motorcycle print for Father's Day! 

If you're in the Southie area I highly suggest stopping by for at least a coffee.  It's also a great pit stop before a BBQ for a host or hostess gift this summer!
They're located at 613 E. Broadway in South Boston.

beauty, dreams and floral collide

June 10, 2014 by Taryn Antoniou in flowers, floral design, brooklyn, inspiration

If there were ever a company that would make my stomach drop and these hazel eyes tear up a bit it would have to be Saipua. Now I know that seems dramatic, especially since I was only introduced to them today (of course I had to share), but wow. This brand is like a little piece of heaven.

They are a family owned business that started as a soap company. Now, as you can see, they have mastered floral design and opened their own farm so that they can grow their own flowers. You must visit their website. The photos are so inspiring and beautiful.

I am super intrigued by their Little Flower School. I think this is something that would make me smile on the daily. And what do you know! They're located right in Brooklyn.

A huge thank you to little Miss Lauren Schindel who found this treasure and knew it was the website of my dreams. Lauren, let's set a date to go explore!
