What is your background? I grew up in the Hudson Valley. I studied fine arts in college and spent some years working in NYC with photographers and for magazines. At some point, I decided I wanted to change my direction and location, so I moved to the west coast. I was hoping to find a job working with flowers, and rode my bike all over town until I found the perfect little flower shop. After a few weeks of riding, I finally saw a Help Wanted sign in the window! I knew that I had found the career I was seeking when work stopped feeling like work. I was even excited to get up at dawn and work a 15-hour day. After a few years I came back to Brooklyn and decided to open my own floral businessand I love every minute of it. Well, maybe not the getting up at 5:00 a.m. all the time part. When were you first introduced to the world of flowers? Gardening and flowers were a big part of my childhood. My mother and grandmother always taught me to appreciate the beauty of flowers, and the work and care it takes to have a beautiful garden; and of course the pleasure of cutting the blooms to bring inside! My great grandfather was a dahlia farmer; I didnt know him, but I imagine how his love of flowers was the inspiration for both my mother and grandmother. When embarking on a project, do you already have something in mind, or does inspiration strike whilst in the midst of working? Its a bit of a mix sometimes there may be a color or texture that Im particularly drawn to that I use as a starting point. Sometimes I do have a particular idea of what Id like to make. But as I create flower arrangements, its more of an organic process. Sometimes the very flower that was my inspiration may work itself out of an arrangement by the time Im finished. I like to follow my instincts, but first and foremost to let the flowers speak for themselves. What are your favorite flowers to work with? It changes with the different seasons. I do
Scan: worldmags

really love ranunculus, peonies, garden roses, dahlias, hellebores, frittillaria, anemones...I could go on and on and on. What is your most memorable project? One of the first weddings I did by myself was for two of my very good friends. It was out of town, so I decided to set up a flower studio in my hotel room. I worked the whole day before and most of the night. It was so fun because all of my friends were milling about the hotel, so my room was a revolving door of friends popping in to say helloand to drop off a glass of champagne. Are there any flowers that spark special memories for youfrom your childhood? Or maybe from a romance? The sweet smell of lilac in early spring floods me with memories. My grandmother had several huge lilac bushes (seemed like a forest to me back then). A simple cluster of the lush blooms would be on every table in the house and shed bring lilac to all her friends and neighbors. What do you see for the future in floral design? I hope to seewhich is already happeninga movement to create floral arrangements that are more organic looking, inspired by nature and also a little wild. Are there any particular flowers that have a longer shelf life? Most flowers should last about 4 to 5 days if they are fresh. Ranunculus last very wellthey prefer shallow water, hydrangea in the autumn last very well and some varieties will dry nicely and retain their color. Can you offer Sweet Paul readers any tips on how to prolong the life of an arrangement? The best way to care for arrangements is to give your stems a fresh cut when you bring them home. Cut them on an angle (this gives more surface air to hydrate), and place into cool water. I recommend changing the water every other day and giving a fresh trim each time. Keep away from direct sunlight, and sources of heat and your flowers will be happy.

You can feel the head of the rose to check for firmness...(If you need to cut anything cut the line (and em dashes): just like checking an avocado for ripeness

Ann says I love to share this dish with my family and friends, with big, crusty bread and a tangy salad alongside. The avors in this stew make me smile because they are sophisticated, yet slightly sweet. This stew reminds me of when I was a kid and mom made me good ole Campbells bean and bacon soup. This is far better, but it still comforts like moms. This stew makes me happy because my kids love itthey seriously ask for seconds and thirdsyou cant beat that!

Add bacon mixture and squash to the beans. Add wine, peach preserves and chopped tomatoes. Add salt and pepper to taste, and a sprinkle of fresh thyme. stir and simmer for about 45 minutes or until done and flavors have melded; adjust seasonings.

FOREST this pumpkin holds a little family scene from the forest. mommy and junior are having a yummy lunch, while daddy is on top looking out for the hunters. to make this idyllic scene, cut a square hole in the center of the pumpkin. scoop out all the seeds and innards of the pumpkin. Cover the bottom of the pumpkin with moss; stick in small trees. put the deers in place and you are ready to go! FAHIONISTAS introducing the fashionista pumpkins: they have just stepped out of michael kors spring 2011 collection at new yorks fashion week. the girls are so happy with their new lookthe lipo left them with just their heads. body: size zero. these are so easy to make. Cut out sunglasses and lips from fashion magazines and glue them on mini-pumpkins with a hot glue gun. the perfect little halloween gift for the fashionistas in your life. DECOUPAGE this pumpkin is inspired by vintage decoupage. i copied old butterfly prints that i found in a book and printed them using my home printer. i cut them out and glued them on the pumpkins with regular craft glue. MCQUEEN todays pumpkin is inspired by the late fashion designer alexander mcQueen. he once made a whole bodysuit of studs. you will need one pumpkin and about 120 upholstery studs. Just push the studs in one by one until the one section is covered. the great part is that you can take the studs out and reuse them when halloween is over. LV (opposite) this pumpkin is inspired by my collection of vintage louis Vuitton luggage. i used the new oil-based pens from sharpieoil paint in a pen, really great stuff. and waterproof, too, so you can place your fashionable pumpkin outside. i drew the pattern on and finished it off with a real lV luggage tag. you pay homage to louis himself!

Mice + Cinnamon Rolls


My grandmother was a champion when it came to storytelling. As a kid, I would curl up in bed beside her just to hear her impart the most amazing fairytales. I dont know why, but they were always about mice, and always in detailhow they lived inside their cozy mouse holes, what their dcor was, what kind of wallpaper, furniture and chinaand what delicious meals they were eating while sitting around a well-set table. I often think my love of the sweeter things in life (good food, pretty things and wallpaper) all come from my grandmothers detailed and creative mice stories. The only thing is, I dont really love mice! But her stories always came with an added bonus: something sweet and delicious to eat. She was an amazing baker and would easily whip up a cake or cookies like there was no tomorrow. My favorite fairytale snack was her fantastic cinnamon rolls, or skillingsboller as they are known in Norway. Her secret ingredient was marzipan. (I know, like they are not fattening enough!) I promise you, when these hit the counter your family will race to grab the rst one.

TexT by Kim moreau | PhoTograPhy by Sheri manSon

Kids see the promise in cast-offs. With ill-fitting clothes and previously used packing materials, they build vignettes and worlds more real, and realized, than most folks can imagine. But as quickly as their attention was held, its forgotten, with boxes returning to the business of being boxes moments later. That is until Don Purple steps in. I just thought how amazing it would be to do custom portraits of children, in the sense that the child would convey to me how they wanted to be seen, Don says. And thats the very idea of Homespunphotos.com, which takes more cues from Victorian-inspired portraiture than Olan Mills. Don hones in on the purpose of a portraitto capture a person in a moment in timeand gives children the opportunity to interact with props and playthings that match their personality. If kids want to be immortalized as a ballerina, a fireman, themselves, he makes it so, styling sets and scenes that give them that world to exist in. The whole objective with it really is to have it so the results are grandiose, yet are off-kilter snaps that are perfectly childlike: vibrant, layered, goofy, fashionable, surprisingly self-aware. The tykes personality shine through as crisp as the colors in a Crayola box. And theres no lack of a rainbow-range of hues either. Theres almost a special sense of color with kids and its something we lose as we become adults, Don says. Kids feel so free, and its such vivid colorful worlds they live in. Just like

raising a child, the photos take a village. Dons work is rooted in collaboration, with friends coming in to assist often, resourcefully repurposing all manner of adornments and furniture, working together in a sharing style kids could learn from. His main collaborators are the photographers, of course, and while he hopes to work with many, he particularly adores Sheri Manson (sherimanson.com). Sheris combined living/ work space was the backdrop for these shots, and her humor-infused, subject-first style serves as a perfect comrade for Dons creations. We really get one another in front and behind the camera, Don says. Its an honor to create with her. For this series, Don spun from the ultimate childs plaything Barbie. Going beyond the unbendable arms and matted hair, Don found muse in the vintage iconography of Barbies profile, a classic cameo in black that serves foil to shades of pink, while instantly conveying the most famous doll on the planet. Barbies the perfect inspiration for the unconventional imagesa dichotomous doll, buxomly crafted from plastic, but with a heart of gold and wonder of a wild-eyed youth. She was all about mankind after all, Don jokes, Thats why she had so many professions. www.homespunphotos.com

wine

C The AB s of a Vintage
Already, with the sun just over the hills, the inside of the truck was like a steam room. Spent shotgun shells, assorted bolts and screws and a surprising number of corks jumped around in the bright red dirt covering the oor as we bounced down a road probably in use since Julius Caesars day. The man driving had been talking to me passionately for almost half an hour in Italianwhich I dont understand. He could have been explaining the offside rule in soccer, or the secrets of his grandmothers manicotti. My guess was that he was talking about wine. That year, 1997, everybody in Tuscany was talking about wine. Summer had been hot and mostly dry. Early mornings were mostly a light sweater kind of cool. Spring had come early, but not so early to threaten the vine owers with frost. At a garden restaurant outside of Panzano the old men scratched the earth with the toes of their boots, squeezed grapes until the juice ran through their ngers and tried to remember when they last felt this good about a vintage. 1985? 71? Maybe this would be the one to wipe clean the memory of 1955. All this talk about the wine of the century, and still the grapes hung at their vines. So what makes this year one to remember and the next year one that turns us all into beer drinkers? Nature. Rain at harvest time makes for thin and often tart wine. Too much heat and the grapes cook in the vineyard, making for wine with a bad rubbery avor. Dont even think about hail. Frost at owering can wipe out whole vineyards, but it can also affect some of the owers leaving the others to pull more avors out of the ground by way of root systems reaching deep down. Thats what the vine is doing. It is reaching down into the earth at one end, and stretching into the sky at the other. A well-cared-for vine lives about as long as a person. Each year it produces a few clusters of fruit, which give hints about how its life has been. The vintners job is to hear those hints and bottle them up. In any case, whats in the bottle came out of the earth and down from the sky. Wine is a kind of language made with letters and words of stone and dirt and a grammar of sun and rain. So the wine talks to us while we talk about it. The truck skidded to a stop and the driver handed me a very large basket and a pair of garden shears as he pointed me in the direction of grapes. It was my rst time, and I think I screwed it up, mostly. Luckily, for the vintage, I gave up quickly and headed for the shade.

WINE TIPS:
Tuscany is a dynamic wine region known mostly for its red wine made from the Sangiovese grape. The best bottles age well, but plenty of easygoing lighter-bodied reds are ready for drinking soon after release. Once in a lifetime: Sassicaia. Ok, its a cabernet sauvignon, not a Sangiovese, but its huge and dark and mysterious its really, really Italian, in other words. Whenever you can: Brunello di Montalcino is recognized as Sangioveses highest expression. Try Altesino or Le Macioche if its a special occasion. Whenever you want: Chianti! Felsina Berardenga Chianti Classico is always good. Fontodi is sometimes better.

Nothing says fall quite like a bowl of fresh mushrooms. Its like having a little piece of the woods in your kitchen. Fall is also the best time of the year to nd a great variety at your local farmers market. Mushrooms are just like people, they come in all sizes and colors. They are eshy, spore-bearing fruiting bodies of fungi that grow above or on the soil.

OLIVER THE CLoWN


Cover a piece of white craft paper in glue and place a piece of white linen on top. Let it dry. Cut out a cone shape and shape it into a cone hat. Glue the ends together using a hot glue gun. Hot glue vintage pontoons and metal ribbons in place, and glue two pieces of thin ribbon inside the hat (to be tied under his chin). The collar is made of four 5x40 inch pieces of chiffon sewn together and rufed. On each side, sew on two ribbons to tie it around his neck. Hot glue a metal ribbon as added decoration.

You can nd old bottles at ea markets for this. Print out nasty ingredients like vampire blood and frog eye juice and glue them to the bottle. You can use old broken coral as the stoppers.

SKULL
Knit a skull? Maybe not! Use a plastic skull (mine is from Ebay) and cover it with an arm from a sweater. You will need a hot glue gun and some patience. Pull the sweater over the skull and glue it in place underneath. Working on the smaller parts of the skull, use your glue gun to secure the knitted arm into all the nooks and crannies of the skull.

OWL
Glue goggly eyes on a porcelain owl for a little spookiness.

Apples may not be the health panacea that the old adage suggests, but they are the quintessential fall fruit and wonderfully versatile. On the East Coast, the local apples found at farmers markets after the fall harvest are stored in massive cold storage throughout the year and brought to market in batches. In the fall, however, local apples are fresh from the trees and are a culinary delight. Not only are they wonderful to be eaten out-of-hand, apples can be baked, poached, used in sauces, butters, pies and salads. The following guide shows perfect uses for some of the apples you will find in the farmers markets this season. We hope that the five recipes we put together provide some inspiration for sweet recipes you can take advantage of using this wonderful fruit.

RUSTIC APPLE TART (opposite)


Adapted from Jacques Pepin in Food + Wine Makes 4 individual tarts 3 large baking apples, cored, peeled if desired, and sliced into 3/4-inch wedges 3 /4 cup all purpose flour 3 /4 cup whole wheat flour Pinch of salt 1 1/2 sticks cold unsalted butter, plus 2 tablespoons melted butter 1 /3 cup ice water 3 tablespoons granulated sugar 2 tablespoons sanding sugar 1 /4 cup apple preserves, melted and strained if desired Preheat oven to 400F. In a food processor, pulse the flour with the salt. Add the butter and pulse 10 times or until the butter is the size of peas. Sprinkle the ice water over mixture and process until just moistened and dough begins to form into a ball. Transfer to a lightly floured work surface and knead to ensure moisture is evenly distributed. Divide the dough into four equal portions and form into flattened disks. Roll each portion of dough into a rough circle (need not be perfect). Transfer dough to a parchment-lined baking sheet. In a large bowl, mix apples and sugar by hand. Arrange apples in an overlapping spiral pattern in the center of each round of dough, leaving at least one inch of dough around the outside. Fold dough toward center of tart to create a rustic edge (dough will not cover tart completely). Chill for ten minutes; brush apples and dough with melted butter. Sprinkle with sanding sugar. Bake for about 45 minutes or until apples are soft and bubbling and dough is golden brown. Cover with foil if dough begins to brown too quickly while cooking. Remove from oven and spoon preserves over apples.

THE SWEET LIFE OF

ive years ago, life for Todd and Shereen Wilcox used to be about working long hours during the weekfor Todd in advertising; for Shereen, baking breadand going to their country home in Pennsylvania to regroup. These days, theyre still working long hours without much rest on the weekends, but neither seems to mind all that much. After participating in a ten-month cheese-making internship on a farm in Vermont, theyre living the life theyve always wanted: being outdoors, growing their own food and raising and working with animals. When theyre not spending ve to eight hours in the cheese room devoting their time to the process of making various cheeses (goat, chevre, feta), theyre preparing for the weekend farmers markets in the New York City areaweighing, wrapping, pricing and packing coolers. When theyre not packing cheese, theyre managing the health and wellness of their goats (forty in total), which they lovingly refer to the females as the girls. This includes milking and feeding and keeping things, in general, clean. When not caring for the goats, there are the chickens and four dogs to contend with.

Ardith Mae farm is not certified organic, but sustainable practices are followed, and the cheese facility includes a conservation and recycling water system. The goats have year-round access to a lightly wooded fiveacre paddock, and during the growing season can graze on the additional 30 acres. The goats do not receive any unnecessary antibiotics, and are never given hormones. Todd and Shereen support their farm community and purchase locally grown hay and grain. For more information, go to www.ardithmae.com.
