Cube_tube By Julie Chai, Sunset associate garden editor

At last month’s San Francisco Flower and Garden Show, I had the good fortune to meet Jayme Jenkins who owns aHa! Modern Living, an online store that sells very cool products for your home and garden. I especially loved the story behind the store: As a young homeowner in Oregon, Jayme would Ben_collectionpore through home and garden magazines, and see tons of stuff she wanted. But when she went shopping, she couldn’t find any of the products that she read about. So she took charge and created the kind of store she’d shop at herself—one with modern, garden-inspired products that are available with the click of a mouse.

I love her cube tube vases, perfect for a single stem, plates adorned with produce, and botanical-inspired votive holders. You can also check our her blog, Nest in Style, for fun garden ideas, special deals, and  resources.

Julie - thanks so much for shining a light on my delightful new friend. Jayme is a fresh, imaginative soul who deserves all the attention we can throw at her. And her on-line store takes garden matters to a much needed contemporary design level.
