Paris Extra Part I

November 21, 2014 //

It’s been a busy month! Some pals leaving on great adventures, others coming to stay and wedding season thrown in too. I’m beginning to plan more of my own flower work for next year and getting excited about all that will hold.

One of my favourite Frenchies is here at the moment which reminded me that I still have plenty of photos to share from Paris.

Endless delicious meals cooked by Angele and Olive.

Visits to the Marché Aux Fleurs in the middle of the city.

One of my favourite galleries, Fondation Cartier with its rambling landscapes and impressive green wall above the entrance.

La Recyclerie, a new cafe near my sisters work where we often met for lunch. It’s located in a former railway station, is super laid back and they even have their own mini farm and vegetable garden.

And other random wanderings through the streets and a cat adventure…

More to come soon. All photographs by Sophia Kaplan.

Sam’s Garden

July 31, 2013 //

My sister and I just got back from a few days in London visiting friends. We stayed with very good mate Sam near Broadway Market and spent a lot of time in his jungle of a garden. Here are some pics of us arranging flowers and planting roses bought at the Columbia Road Flower Market, while eating raspberries and playing with little Iola and Jobie.

Japan

December 6, 2012 //

I’ve never been to Japan but my interest in visiting is growing. Here are a few things I’d like to see.

This is a rather weird and wonderful little film for Japanese department store Laforet in Tokyo. It was created by agency Hakuhodo.

Currently showing (from November until March) is this pretty breathtaking light tunnel. It’s located in a botanical garden on the island of Nagashima.
