17 years in business! I can't quite believe I've got here ๐คฃ!!
A few things that have happened in the past 17 years:
A pandemic, a major recession, I've gone through 3 flower vans, a marriage, a divorce (we're still good mates ๐), I've lost people I love & gained people I absolutely adore, flowered hundreds of weddings, served thousands of customers, met the loves of my life in the form of a very sassy pug & a bloke called Jim, had opportunities I never imagined I'd get in this industry (flowering Elton John's dressing room & making all the presentation bouquets for the UCI cycling world championships spring to mind!).
It's been a rollercoaster of a ride, truly! The highs have been really up there but the lows, my god, they have been low. If I knew then what I know now, would I have done it? Honestly... probably not but the thing is, I just adore flowers, always have & always will, they've been my life since I was 13 years old being a Saturday girl in my local florists, it's all I know. This next 12 months will be the biggest test of my career I think, it's tough out here.
A massive thank you to you all for anything you've ever done to support me whether that's buy flowers, worked for me, supplied me with flowers, commented on my posts, given me a hug, recommended me, high fived me or encouraged me to keep going & stop being so dramatic - it's meant the world!
Here's a collection of snaps from over the years. I've really had to trawl through my old Facebook for some of these ๐ฌ.
