One of the simplest ways to freshen up your home this spring is with a gorgeous botanical bouquet. Our hand-painted Bountiful Botanicals come in a variety of distinctive bloom types and colors, and make stunning displays.

To help you create your own artistic floral arrangements, we offer a few simple steps below. In no time you’ll be enjoying the beauty of nature throughout your home.




Start with Color

Some of our favorite floral arrangements this year feature monochromatic flowers. Choose botanicals within a single color palette, using a variety of sizes for texture. Or stick with one flower type for a more classic looking design. Conversely, using different color tones opens up endless artistic possibilities – you can play with multiple textures and vases to capture a look of rustic elegance.

As you select shades of botanicals that will complement a specific area in your home, consider:

Enchanting Violets

The wisteria and claret work beautifully as focal flowers, while our heather and lilac make perfect fillers. For a striking effect, pair violet flowers with contrasting blooms from our yellow collection. For a subtle arrangement, combine violet blossoms with blushing pink hues.



Blushing Beauty

The pink-hued cerise and amaranth blossoms are stunning. Mix with a bouquet of sunny yellow blooms for a warm and welcoming arrangement.



Mellow Yellow

Our luminous yellow botanicals warm up any bouquet, but are also a cheerful classic on their own.



Earthy Sienna

Sienna is a neutral with striking texture that adds lush fullness to any arrangement.



Pick Your Florals

Once you choose a color palette, pick your florals. Look for botanicals with various sized buds, flowers, and stem lengths to play with scale. Consider the shape of the botanicals to fully enhance your arrangement’s texture. To create a more balanced, natural effect, use an odd number of each type of botanical.

Decide where to display your bouquet. Tall, full arrangements look best in an entryway or living room with high ceilings. Smaller arrangements work best in bedrooms, on side tables, or in the kitchen. Determine the vase size you need to fill that space. We suggest starting with one of our handcrafted, recycled glass vases:

Simone Vase
Vica Pickling Jar










Let Your Creativity Blossom

To craft your arrangement, place the botanicals in the vase to see how the colors, textures, and stem heights work together. Distribute the colors throughout the vase and place different textures and sizes around each other. Play around with various combinations. You may decide a fuller bouquet suits your home best, or possibly a more airy, breathable design.

Trim the stems to achieve your desired overall effect, especially when using a clear vase. With an opaque vase, you can bend the stem bottoms as needed.

Next, shape the botanicals to layer the bouquet. Gently bend stems to space the botanicals in the vase. Opening up the petals can also help bring more air into your arrangement. The goal is to create a natural, authentic look.




Elevate Your Home

Once you discover how much beauty your artful display brings to your home, you’ll want to add new arrangements as the seasons come and go. Not only does their beauty never fade, our botanicals make every space more warm and inviting.

Care Note: Our Bountiful Botanicals are designed to last. To keep your flowers fresh during the off-season, store them in a clean bin or container and put a large plastic bag over the top of them. When you get them out of storage, make sure to fluff the botanicals, bend the stems, and clean up each flower to ensure it looks fresh.

One of the principles of Sundance is that art should be a part of our daily lives, not just something to be viewed from behind glass during an occasional trip to the museum. We believe that by including art in everyday living, we enhance and enrich the simple pleasure of ordinary routines.

This season we are excited to feature a selection of spirited paintings by artist Lance Whitner. Radiating a lively energy so very much like the artist herself, her paintings joyfully honor the natural world around her and are the perfect addition to our Home Collection.




Lance fell in love with the Colorado Rocky Mountains after attending the University of Colorado, Boulder as a Ceramics major in their Fine Arts program. She settled in Steamboat Springs where she currently resides in a purple house with her photographer husband, 3 animated kids, a dog named Betty, a cat named Cowboy, and a horse named Ashe.

Distinctive Layering

Using a loose, intuitive technique Lance layers shapes and colors to create richly textured, dreamlike scenes. Playful shifts in perspective pull the eye from one area to the next, and deceptively simple images often hide layers of underpainting, patterns, and marks that draw the viewer in for a closer look.

Lance, a self-taught painter, explains, “I use my unique visual vocabulary of color, shape, line and mark to interpret the places my passions take me. Through my paintings, I strive to pass along the spirit of this joy and free expression.”

Sublime Equine

Lance’s colorful light-filled pastoral paintings capture the freedom and expansive skies of the American West. These pieces have palpable energy and when hanging in a room serve almost as a window peering out onto the great outdoors.



Radiant Florals

Lance’s floral paintings are delightful compositions in color, depth, and texture achieved through meticulous layering of oil-paints in vibrant shades. Her artistry and true appreciation of the beauty found in nature imbues each piece with a distinctive sense of balance, joy, and liveliness.



“When you purchase something from this catalog, we appreciate the fact that the prime reason is enjoyment for yourself. But you are also supporting American craftspeople and efforts to enhance and preserve the environment.” - Robert Redford

how to use cbd sundance catalog blog

Got aches and pains? Have damaged skin? Feeling anxious or stressed? Sundance is pleased to introduce CBD-infused products that we’ve carefully curated from two trusted companies, Daughter of the Land and Floramye, to help you relax and feel better.

What is CBD?

Most people have by now heard about the popularity of CBD therapy. CBD is short for cannabidiol, a chemical compound derived from the cannabis plant, which is the source of hemp fibers. Hemp has a long history of human use, with clothing, ropes and many other products commonly made from it.

CBD-infused products contain only miniscule amounts of THC, which is not nearly enough to provide any psychological effects.

What is CBD used in?

CBD is used in a variety of products, many designed to offer relaxing and calming feelings in the user. These can include balms, lotions, tinctures, oils, edibles, skin creams, shampoos and even pet products.

What are its health benefits?

At Sundance, we take a cautious approach to promising CBD health benefits.

There is certainly strong anecdotal evidence that CBD products have helped many thousands of people to feel better. CBD is believed by these users to decrease anxiety and stress, improve sleep, help soothe musculoskeletal and nerve pains, and clear skin of acne and eczema.

Medical science, of course, relies on large, carefully designed studies to formally prove or disprove a product’s efficacy. Because CBD products are still relatively new, most such studies are ongoing. So, for now, we think CBD health claims should be viewed with at least some caution, even if your relatives or close friends rave to you about how it has benefited them. CBD is currently FDA approved only as an anti-seizure medication.

What CBD products we offer?

Our CBD products are a joy for the senses, imparting beauty and wonderful scents in addition to their healing benefits. They come from two companies we trust and respect:

Daughter of the Land specializes in organic skincare products designed with the lowest possible impact on the environment. We carry the all-organic Chamomile Calming Balm that mixes the herbal healing properties of arnica montana with CBD oil. It helps you to look and feel your best.

All-organic Chamomile Calming Balm Sundance Catalog

Floramye, which takes its name from an old French perfume house, blends CBD with fragrant essential oils. Their wellness products promise to soothe skin, reduce pain and restore beauty.

Our choices include:

Chamomile Calming Balm
Rose Hip Bath Soak
Balancing Facial Oil

Revitalizing Elixir
Balancing Facial Oil
Calming Body Cream

Keep in mind that topical products such as body creams are absorbed by the skin and hair follicles, but never reach your bloodstream. This allows you to focus CBD’s benefits only on where it is applied. On the other hand, ingestible CBD, such as Floramye’s elixir, are absorbed internally and spreads through the body by the bloodstream. This type of product is intended to offer whole body benefits.

Whether you’re a CBD first timer or already a devotee, you can count on our curated selection of CBD products to be of the highest quality.
