Wednesday Vignette: coffee shop bouquet

On Saturday we found ourselves in an eclectic coffee shop in San Francisco. While the rest of the gang was ordering at the counter, I claimed one of the wooden tables on the sidewalk. Each table had a small bouquet of flowers in a mason jar. All too often these bouquets are quite forgettable. Not these! Ours had aeonium, rose, sea holly, leucadendron and Chinese pistache leaves for a pop of red. I was so taken with this combination, I snapped several photos and posted them to Instagram:

11/19/2015 update: I just read that the place where I took these photos, Front Coffee + CafĆ© in the lower Potrero Hill neighborhood of San Francisco, is closing up shop. I’ve only been there this once, but this news still makes me sad since the owners clearly cared a lot about their business.

  1. Picture #2. Again like a work of art: sharpness of the foliage behind the aeonium and softness of the background behind that. Exquisite.

    1. I thought the arrangement itself was striking but the well-worn wooden table was the piĆØce de resistance, providing the perfect background texture.
