An Abundant Life - Growing Wings

Christina Andersen's studio is one of those places where I would go just because I was in the neighborhood and needed a breath of fresh air. Located in the Monroe Center in Hoboken, Christina can be found by appointment and on special occasions in a room filled with beautiful pottery and flowers, with fresh blooms and dried arrangements all perfectly arrayed in a way that feels comfortable and homelike while still being so orderly and precise that you can tell an Artist's eye created it.

I met Christina a few years ago when she was selling flowers and pottery outside at a farmer's and community artisan's market in Hoboken. I love flowers and I love pottery, so I naturally stopped, and Christina herself was like a breath of fresh air, a piece of the country in the mile square city of Hoboken. I talked with her a while that day and learned that in addition to her studio, at the time she was selling flowers and pottery in one of the local shops and that she also works with some local businesses and restaurants to create weekly flower arrangements for their decor. And ever after that, whenever I saw some flowers that I thought might be hers, I'd ask and find out that they were.

Around holidays she creates special arrangements, and during community events like the Hoboken Art and Studio Tour which took place this weekend, she opens her studio for visits. Her studio is a lovely destination any time, whether you're looking for a gift for someone or yourself, or just want a few moments of cheerful inspiration. You can always find something lovely at Christina Andersen Floral Design as the designer herself is as beautiful as her flowers. Take a few precious moments for yourself to stop and smell whatever she has blooming there and give yourself the gift of life. There's a feeling of freedom when the soul gets near growing and blooming plants, and in Christina's studio you might just find yourself remembering a time in your life when you almost thought you could fly.
