first, a little update


The last month saw the launch of our latest line of work, the Kindred Collection. It's been a surreal and tough past few months learning how to navigate through the pandemic and I wanted to say thank you for supporting the new launch in the midst of it all! If you haven't checked out the Kindred Collection lookbook yet, make sure to take a peek and get inspired. The shop has now been restocked for your perusing pleasure. 

Our current project is the development of our Orbital vases - a unique circular wall hanging vase designed for framing dried flowers, foliage or branches. I hope to have these finished and ready for production by July, so stay posted for next month's email. 

MiMOKO has a new brick and mortar retailer on board by the name of Shelf.  Located in the heart of Steveston, a quaint fishing village south of Vancouver, Shelf (originally an online shop) was lovingly bought into fruition by Kelly Horner. The outcome? Quite possibly the cutest little boutique I've visited! A thoughtfully curated selection of gifts with a big focus on ceramics. I love the painted interiors! Visit Shelf for more details.

Shelf, 3480 Moncton Street, Steveston

tips for our tall vases

Our Kindred Collection tall vases are back in stock and perfect for displaying your favourite flora with dramatic effect. 

Find out how you can get the most out of yours!


 

1. diversity

Using an array of flowers, foliage and branches create arrangements that feel more relaxed and dynamic. Create rich textures by mixing it up! 
 

2. varying height + asymmetry

Play with the height of each stem so your eye can appreciate all the elements.

Place tall branches and statement leaves toward the back, and shorter stems and florals in the middle to lower sections.

Create movement and flow by focusing on asymmetry.  We love arrangements that feel natural, and keeping them asymmetric is a perfect way to achieve this. 

3. forage 

To spice up store bought bunches, forage for wild stems in your neighbourhood. It's fun, easy and a free way to bring diversity to your bouquet! It's also a great way to learn more about what's growing in your local community. 

(We encourage respectful foraging in small quantities and only in public areas)

See below for pieces we found a few weekends ago.
 

From left to right: eucalyptus, iron plant, lupin, hosta, red thistle, catnip (!), bluebell pod, columbine, plus some other anonymous weeds (only first three were purchased)

4. or keep it simple + stunning 

Often less is more. Finding the perfect branch may be all you need to create a dramatic display.

We recommend placing large branches against open blank walls for best effect.
