An Open-Minded Arrangement: Q&A with Floral Designer Samantha Jensen
When you walk into Houndstooth Coffee, you’ll always notice something special on the counter. Although it changes weekly, barrista and flowerista Samantha Jensen’s arrangements start you on just the right note: a touch of nostalgia, bit of retro inspiration (perhaps in the form of a coffee can container), but always looking fresh and modern, mixing textures and pairing bold and muted colors. Samantha (or Sammy ...
