The man friend and I are not exactly the type to make a big fuss about Valentine’s Day, but thanks to a fun little Instagram giveaway from blogger Caroline of Love & Loathing Los Angeles, we spent the afternoon getting our green thumb on at Rolling Greens Nursery and shop in West Hollywood.
The Darling Duo workshop had all the fixings to spark up any romance — champagne, delicious treats by Sweet and Divine by Emmaline, and a chill vibe complete with great people. Charlie and I made new friends, and left with two beautiful pieces that are (still alive and well) at the pad.
Also, the associates at Rolling Greens are incredibly helpful and friendly, not to mention knowledgeable of their craft. Rachel and Sami sure know a thing or two about styling, arrangements, and outdoor decor, so be sure to pick their brains when visiting the Arrangement Bar.
It’s kind of amazing when I get to meet someone that I admire digitally, and Caroline was simply a doll. Her blog delves into the heart and soul of what living in Southern California is like, as it’s complete with great gems throughout the city, not to mention fantastic style and good eats. I am delighted that our paths finally crossed, and her boyfriend Tommy definitely masters the art of taking good photographs.
If you are looking for a fun weekend activity, Rolling Greens will be offering a Hanging Kokedama Workshop on Sunday, March 20. Learn how to DIY incredible arrangements, while mingling with experts and making new friends. Also, make sure to leave some extra time to check out their home decor, as the space offers an incredible selection of homewares, kitchen accessories, and botanical accoutrements.
So sorry for the lack of photos, as I forgot my camera and didn’t think of snapping too many pictures because I was having too much fun. Luckily, I rescued a few from my phone, and the other two are from Rolling Green’s blog and Instagram account!
This was certainly a terrific way to spend Valentine’s Day — getting crafty, drinking, bubbly, and making new pals!
