Recently a friend referred a local florist to Vasili and I as we were looking for someone to begin taking care of all our floral needs.  I emailed her to set up an appointment and shortly thereafter we met at her shop, Pistil & Vine, over on Damen in the Wicker Park/Bucktown area.  When I walked in I already knew that it was right up my alley – a small business like ourselves, their flowers instantly  made me think of words like “organic, simple, classic.”  And then in walks Megan, who is the owner of Pistil & Vine.  Her awesome hubby made us coffee and we hung out for a bit and chatted about our businesses, my own personal needs and goals for working with her, life, film, you name it… (I even got to watch her creative genius in action as she put together a floral arrangement for a client!).  Aside from the beautiful aesthetic of the shop, Megan herself was nothing short of a joy to talk to.  So down-to-earth and kind, you truly feel her passion for her work just radiating from her heart.  Not everyone is a good fit professionally but I knew leaving the shop that day she was the perfect fit for Simply by Suzy.  Anyway, a few weeks later she let me stop by again and snap a few photos of her store so I could share with you 🙂 (her pup Murphy even joined us!)

So without further ado, meet Megan from Pistil & Vine and her shop pup, Murphy 🙂
