‼️📣 Let’s do this 📣 ‼️
‼️📣 We are going to need your votes📣‼️

…….Inverness business awards 2025……

I have made the decision that we will graciously enter ourselves following being nominated, by whom ~ I’m not sure 🤔 but thank you for believing in us 🐞

As a new business very much in its infancy we are still trying to build our future to hopefully 🙏🏻 be a stable one.
Much of this depends upon the strength of our high street, so this is as much about Alness as it is about us, the more people that use us , your less likely to lose us 🐞

……Each one of us has choices, I don’t believe it’s about “being the best”
My takeaway 🥡 wouldn’t be the choice of my neighbours !!!!

……We will continue to do our absolute best, and will greet our “mystery shopper” with our professional help when they visit us to see if they feel that we are worthy of this award 🥇

Thank you for believing in us 🐞

……..My heart ❤️ is glowing to think that I have been nominated for a business award “Best Florist” !!!

I’m truly flattered 🌟 honestly I am not someone who takes praise very well…..

I do my job everyday to the best, and fullest of which my ability allows, and I couldn’t do it without my beautiful team 🐞

I’m sure many of you will be aware of how these things work, you can’t win 🏆 it, if your not in it ~

However, I’m going to sleep 🛌 on this before I decide whether this is “my thing”

…… if I go ahead I will need as many votes 🗳️ as possible from all you beautiful peeps 😍

When your love ❤️ keeps growing 🌹

This time last night I was feeling anxious about how our first wreath workshop 🎄 was going to go ~
From a personal perspective, I did it ~
If we were to do it again next year, there are some things I would do differently 🙏🏻. ……..But like everything in life, it’s a learning process

Everyone seemed to enjoy themselves, so in my book 📖 that’s a good result 🤩
And everyone went home 🏡 with their very own individual wreath ❤️
