Pretend it's not so cold out today, find yourself a juicy book, a cuppa something warm and a cozy blanket. Dutch tulips started this past week- so take heart, it's spring somewhere.

I am often asked what my favorite flower is. In my mind it's like choosing your favorite kid! I like to think of favorites in terms of seasons- so this month my fav go to is hellebores or sometimes called Lenten rose. It often thrives in winter in warmer climates. I first saw them in my step-brothers garden in Seattle in March and it blew my mind that it was growing. Often associated w serenity, peace and tranquility- in the Victorian age it was associated w delirium. Some cultures associate with scandal and anxiety. So really- is the glass full or empty. Either way, they are stunning and I adore them. What's your favorite bloom?

You know it's going to be a good day when you have all new glorious flowers and a friend brings you a cookie from DeVille. Beautiful day for a walk down 11th street!!! What are you up to this fine Saturday?

As this year comes full circle, it is always a good reminder with every end comes a new beginning. So as this year closes, with immense gratitude- we say thank you to all of you who have supported this wee shop for the past 30 years in whatever way you could. Either through purchases, a kind word or a review. As more studies on energy emerge- forgiveness, authenticity, love and gratitude top the charts for the highest vibration. It's no surprise. So find it in your hearts today to end this year and start the next with all the best energies the universe has to offer. May you find love, kindness, joy and grace in 2025. Thank you for being here.

Time is just flying! The minutes, days and years. I recieved a special parcel for solstice yesterday, which is when we celebrate the shop birthday. Hard to believe it's been 18 years since we bought the shop. I feel like we have seen so many major events and changes in our industry, community, world. Still hoping for a bright future or at very least the wisdom and willingness to continue to always look for the bright spots and silver Linings. Cheers to every small business today that has and is braving to live their best path. With mere days to go- we have heard how the malls are packed. Please please please remember the independants- so they are here next Christmas! Can't shop- do your Indy a solid and write them an amazing Google review. Pease!

A little mantle magic instantly transforms your space so you don't even want to turn the TV on! A few thoughtful foliage choices ensures you don't find piles of bits all over your floor. Perfect for that cozy winter evening.

This time of year evokes a whole lot of notions about what the season should look like. Do not be afraid to veer away from the traditional candy cane palette. Try adding another colour or doing something altogether different. Winter greens are the ever fabulous constant. You will be pleasantly surprised and may never go back!

Just in case you needed a reminder- everything is better with wintergreens. I will never get over the textures and scent that permeates the shop this time of year. Despite everyone and their llama thinking they should sell greens- just a wee reminder that your pro's are in the know and have the best selection of winter foliage and how to best take advantage of them. Not all foliage will do well in your planter or on your mantle. Shopping local also means investing in the knowledge professionals have. A very good investment in my books. On hand we have by the bunch or our ever popular mixed bouquet of all the perfect choices to pop into a vase at home so you can savor those Divine scents. A true winter form of self care! What's your favorite?

We live in a world now that's often virtual or where everything is synthetic, even scent. This is the time of year where I absolutely love seeing the expression on someone's face upon entering the shop. The melange of scents is jaw dropping but it's the scent of winter greens that is the most arresting this month. Scent is incredibly linked to memory, a very powerful trait that evokes good and bad. Scarcely a person had bad memories tied to the smells of wintergreens. So many happy memories are tied to the scent of these boughs- making them an ideal gift- corporate or personal. This is a really Fab way to gift something that someone will tie happy memories to you and your thoughtful offering. Always inviting and welcome not to mention long lasting! Long live real scent not out of a can!

Tis the season of entertaining! Whether you are the host with the most or the guest that's the best, setting the mood for a fabulous memorable evening begins w flowers. They keep you in good spirits while you are cooking up a storm or make you look amazing days after leaving the party! No shortage of great blooms and ideas to set your space to truly enjoy your inside space. Does the scent of winter greens ever get old?!

With Black Friday looming, every small business is feeling some kind of angst. Instead of rock bottom deals, we as small independents instead rely on the top notch value we provide every day with often very slim margins. We simply cannot compete with sweatshop mass produced anything. Nor should we. I love movements like Indie Friday championed by brilliant organizations like . Small businesses, artisans and makers should be supported because we produce awesome, beautiful, and special unique goods and services that support as grassroots- excellent economic stability locally. So this weekend- do save a bit of your hard earned cash and splash it on the businesses that support you locally through taxes, donations to non for profits, and employee people locally. Food for thought!

Missing us yet from Bearspaw market?! Today marks the end of our market season for 2024. Hubby and kiddo are bringing their A game and I myself am at the delightful Cochrane Christmas market at the Cochrane ranche. We have an ode to fall bouquet today to help us transition from fall to winter. After today you can find us all year round in our jewelbox sized shop on 11th. Looking forward to seeing you! Make the most of today!

Weekend 2 - We have done this Xmas market for a number of years for a couple of reasons. It's such a good opportunity to highlight all the studio goods and custom work we produce at the shop and studio in a forum with other amazing artisans and makers. It also helps get us in the mood for the wild weeks ahead! Time to put in that order for wreaths and planter inserts! So if you are looking for a fun outing- come on down daily 9-5 til Sunday. The reindeer are adorable.

It's been a crispy couple of days but we are out getting into the winter groove at the millarville xmas market. Another weekend to go in case you missed this one! Such an amazing array of local vendors, great treats and awesome neighbors.

Not ready to leave the vibes quite yet...

When thinking about your door- give some consideration to your door colour, your exposure, if you will have something seasonal or seasonal transitional ( aka- when weather can't decide what season it is) and if you trust your neighbors. Making wreaths for our environment instead of something from BC or elsewhere means it will weather better and last longer.

A door is just a door right? Or or maybe it's a whole lot more than that. Maybe it's the gateway to your safe haven, the touchstone of knowing you are home and somewhere safe. It's also the face of your space to the outside world, a way to connect and engage with neighbors and guests as a cheerful greeting. I love a good wreath- the symbol of eternity, the change of seasons. What a perfect way to say hello - I am home! Book your seasonal custom wreath today, they take anywhere btwn an hour or 2 each to make but last years. So get on the list! Which palette is your favorite?

The power of a thoughtful message. I've had the privilege lately to write some very thoughtful, heartfelt messages recently to go with orders. Not only are flowers a message of love, celebration or comfort all on their owni but when paired with a touching word from the sender- it's magic. We see first hand the positive power your thoughtfulness carries. Never discount the impact you have on someone's life when you send them your well wishes and love.
