Lady Fern’s Soiree
Have you ever dreamed of finding an invitation in the woods inviting you to a fairy party?
Imagine walking through the forest and spotting something strange: a single purple fern growing in a patch of green. You step closer, curious—and that’s when you see it: a handwritten invitation to a secret dinner party.
It sounds like a fairytale, but for a few lucky wanderers near Eugene, Oregon, it was real. On May Day, they joined Lady Fern herself for a twilight feast beneath sparkling crystallized seedpods, celebrating the return of spring with a menu of all-purple foods, each dish flavored by the forest around them.
This gathering was part botanical homage, part edible spell—a gentle disruption of the everyday. Created as a gift for the curious, it asked nothing in return but wonder.
