Who deserves flowers? Why everyone of course! In Europe, cut flowers are a staple in their daily lives. There is a recognition that they are a part of one's daily wellness. Here in North America- we are often made to feel like they are an extraordinary treat- bought for others but not ourselves. Strange- the idea that the wellness of others is above our own. Well maybe it's time to reframe how we see blooms. They are an accessible form of wellness- proven by many studies to give you a real mental boost. Even something small like a bloom on your bedside. Market bouquets on weekends are an excellent start. See you Sunalta and Sunday . Of course, the best selection will always be in our magical little shop!

Monday musings- the reality of being real. We are bombarded hourly with photos, posts, Pinterest and now AI content galore. I am finding it hard to know if what I am seeing is real anymore. Yes, I am spoiled in the way that I am in an environment that is SO real my hands are as my kiddo pointed out -permanently engrained w dirt😆. So I wonder, how do we ground ourselves in a world that is ungrounded. I have included a pic of how our flowers arrive from the coast. We then unpack, clean and condition each flower and only the strong survive to make it into gorgeous bouquets for you to take home. Some flowers don't make it. That's a very real reality for small businesses dealing in perishables. Seize that moment and REALlly live it- that zinnia is only going to be perfect for so long. That's the point in a way. Real is nitty gritty, dirty, fleeting, amazing and Now. Feel free to share your ideas of keeping it real- I sure hope it includes getting out and giving some FaceTime to a small biz! Happy Monday 💗🌞💐

New month, new flowers, new classes. We are truly in the thick of summer and what a better way to celebrate than with sunflowers. Every month I choose a bloom, a guiding colour and mantra for our shop and classes and this month is sunflowers, Amber and Flow. Sunflowers are known to move with the sun and if there isn't any- they often turn to face each other. How incredibly endearing. So I hope your August is just that- that you are able to go with the flow and if for some reason you can't find the sun- turn to a friend for support! We've got you! August class calendar online. Sunflowers in the shop and at market. See you soon🧡🌻🐝

It's now officially Summer in my world. It's a couple weeks late this year but so welcome nonetheless. We started our lavender journey many years ago with a staff trip to the Okanagan lavender farm. Andrea blew my mind with their families efforts and oh man- talk about amazing micro-moments. From the buds that fell from hanging that first batch in the shop- we were hooked. Sadly, they no longer do U-pick there but every year since we scoop a variety from Vancouver Island and sometimes if we are lucky we still get bundles from Kelowna. If you have ever wondered about our sachets- the Liberty printed offering holds organic French lavender from Chateau de la Gabelle in France. They can keep up with our demand and they are a delightful family operation. We make a limited edition each summer w BC buds and they go in custom eco-dyed linen ( dyed by the talented Joanie Chisholm). Each lavender is distinct and tells a story about the land it's grown on. Either way- you can never get enough! In store and at weekend markets.

It's still pretty spicy hot out there! How are you holding up? Thinking the heat is here to stay this summer, so let's just roll with it! Water plant plants early and on the ground, that way water goes to roots and not evaporation. Make sure you stay hydrated too! Our flowers have always gone in wet packs on stems, but plan for a pick up that's your last stop. Just like you wouldn't leave your kiddo or dog in a hot car- do not leave your flowers! Trying to motivate myself and kids to get up earlier so we can have a siesta, time to start adopting some time honored hot weather traditions😎. Reminder that we are open Saturdays 10-5 but on weekends you can also find us 10-2pm at the Sunalta farmers & makers market and the Bearspaw market.

It's always hard to say goodbye to our peonies, with the extreme heat this week it was like melting ice cream. We had a handful left to enjoy. A couple good sigh worthy pics to tie us over to next year. On to the midsummer blooms! Yeehaa

07/06/2024

You know it's really summer when we really get into the textures and wilder flowers. Yahoo! Can't help but love the whimsy that follows all the summer blooms. Likely the last weekend for peonies from the garden, dahlias soon! How do you celebrate summer?

06/29/2024

Our first market day at the Sunalta Farmers & Makers market. Love being in the hood on such a beautiful day with such talented folk. Lots of parking, lots of good vendors- 10 to 2pm Saturdays til beginning of october!

06/23/2024

Doing something super fun today! Pop up at Central library as a wordfest guest vendor supporting the author talk of Carley Fortune's book 'This Summer will be Different' . Can't wait to read it to check of character authenticity 🤩. Yup- primary character is a florist! What's on your bookshelf for summer reads?

06/21/2024

Strawberry Moon summer vibes today. How are you celebrating the arrival of summer? Fun weekend ahead for us- Wordfest has invited us to join them for an event Sunday at Central Library! Don't you love it when you get to make flower posies that coordinate w book covers?!

It's Friday! Are you hanging in there? It's been a very long week with extreme consideration on how we use water. Also a weds night community planning open house, grads and such- the theme of the week has definitely been community. Yesterday we were very supported by long time clients and as always - feeling thankful that people actually care about where they spend their hard earned dollars. Thank you for making us part of your lives, means a great deal to mine!

06/09/2024

To market we go! It's cool out but perfect flower temperature. Here with all the amazing vendors til 2pm today.

06/02/2024

And we are back!!! Big year for us at Bearspaw market- a whole decade- not the new kids anymore😂. Love seeing the other vendors- like family now. Being greeted first thing by some fav regulars also a treat. You can find us and all sorts of other awesome vendors every sunday til the first week of October. Booth 86! Beautiful day to be out and about.

Sometimes grey days need a little Technicolor. Rain means happy plants, less forest fires and reduced drought conditions, but finding silver Linings can be tough when you need some happy rays of sun. It's coming- promise.

A word of appreciation for all mom's of various forms. All the things you do- the nursing, the shuttling, the cooking, cleaning, the entertaining, the profession or job you juggle around your family. There is a good reason why mum's are priceless- no one could afford that kind of help. Well - I hope today inspires those around you to maybe be more helpful, grateful and inspired- because that is what you really are- an inspiration. We are in shop today til 4pm- because we have families to get home to today! So come on down, the block will be buzzing- breakfast, chocolate, coffee, accessories, snacks, pet goodies and of course BLOOMs.💮💐🌸

A little added sunshine to this glorious sunny day, you know it's going to be a good one when you find your neighbor Maureen up early sunning herself on the front porch w a coffee first thing in the AM! As we approach this wild and wonderful weekend- a couple things to note. Hours- Friday 10-6, Sat 10-6 and Sunday 10-4. Due to volume, we will be unable to offer A la carte bouquets on the spot. So please order in advance if you can or you can certainly pick up something from our selection of fav arrangements ready to roll. So give us a call and go catch some rays. 😎🌻🌞

With mum's day just days away, I've been giving a lot of thought to what that really means. That mum's deserve to be spoiled on mother's day, yes for sure. But what about everyday. We had a lovely client in yesterday- he will be a new dad today and I'm thinking about his wife and hoping her delivery will be safe and smooth. And thinking of another client who went through many rounds of IVF to finally have her bundles of joy. What risk mothers take in having children, our bodies, our hearts. Everyday I take my kids to school and hope they are safe and doing well. So just remember that when your mum may not be perfect- she is a person too with the biggest most vulnerable heart you can't even imagine. So maybe think about spoiling your mum w extra love always.

Happy Easter to all who celebrate the Orthodox calender! Hard to believe we are a week away from mother' day- maybe spring is finally here too! Catch some sun-come on down, or call to book your mum something spiffy.

Sometimes you just have to embrace the rich and sultry monochrome palette. A game all the way.

Happy May Day! On days like today, I seek out what cheer and brightness I can. It was pointed out to me this am how fortunate we are to be surrounded by flowers when the skies are dark. In that theme of Appreciation is my theme this month and our bloom of the month is Roses. So I offer up some cheer and good vibes for anyone needing it today. I also add a word of appreciation to those who have started placing their Mother's Day requests ahead of time. You can never know how much we value your trust and business, means so much in these times. Big thanks! Keep 'em coming.

Today is a busy day! Earth day, the Eve of Passover, and the beginning of admin Assistant's week. I think that the theme that I keep coming back to is Gratitude. How fortunate are we to have this planet, to have a beautiful country to be guardians of and of course- all the helpers out there. So do your part- make a green choice today, say thank you as much as you can to as many people as you can and most of all- BE KIND!!! Happy Monday all- make it a good week.

Cherry blossoms on the top of our thoughts this week as we prepare for Hanami celebration this Sat from 10-4pm. We thought that we should celebrate in shop as well starting Sat til April 20th. We will have stems of cherry blossoms, an arrangement inspired by Japanese Ikebana and samples of one of our class projects coming up. Fleeting, beautiful and a reminder to live life NOW- not difficult to be completely smitten by this bloom.

Most people think roses and romance go hand in hand, but did you know that red tulips are the flower to express deep love and affection?! What better than flaming red parrot tulips- a bloom that fueled the epic tulipmania in the 17th century. Love grows best when shared- so let's play a little game and maybe you will be the lucky winner of a tulip bouquet ( not this one- lol, it's spoken for). When we were kids, we loved entering guessing for jellybean jars! So whoever guesses the closest number to how many tulips are in this epic romantic gesture wins the bouquet. You have til midnight tonight- so go ahead- give it your best guess.

Sometimes grey days call for a classic solution of cheerful tried and true blooms. If you need a fix of portable sunshine and joy this Easter weekend- we will be set to help make that happen Friday noon 4 and Saturday 10-5 pm. If you need more incentive, our lovely neighbors at Epiphanie are topped up w an awesome selection of chocolatey goodness to make any Easter bunny envious.

Did you know that this is the ideal time of the year to repot your indoor friends? These babies are the result of repotting this birdsnest sansevaria 2 years ago. It went from 5 plants to a whopping 16. Needless to say it was time for some babies to leave the nest🐥. This time of year, plants are feeling the spring vibes too- going from a more dormant state to getting ready for more sun. Keep in mind that if you need to plant up to a bigger size- never go from a condo to a ranch- one size up at a time. Are you getting ready to do some growing of your own?! Go for it!

Spring is being such a tease, don't let the random snow throw you off! Feeling the vibes big time. Knee deep in spring blooms- come on down to the block.
