Hi, I'm Nadiya and I'm so glad to bring my flowers to our town. Big or small, flowers should be accessible to everyone. I also specialise in florals for events.

I'm happy to travel, so let me know how I can help ๏ฟฝ
VIOLETS ON KENNEDY IS TAKING A BREAK THIS SEASON.
I've taken up an unexpected opportunity and am so excited for a new challenge. But it's going to need all my attention for the best part of the season so I've decided to press pause on the flowers for now. I'll reassess as I go and update here if anything changes.
And just like that, my season is finished. This hot bunch was the last of my field! I'll be back with all new varieties and ideas in Spring. Huge thanks for all your support, it really means so much to me ๐ฟ
Joy Drop is up..
By the stem, Pay what you can
7 Kennedy St, cash/deposit
Joy Drop 9am Fri.
Pay what you can, blooms by the stem.

Share the love
If you missed the Joy Drop today, I'll have a fresh picked bucket at the gate tomorrow morning...Pop down and get some flowers for yourself or a loved one. Pay What You Can continues ๐ฟ
The Joy Drop is Up! 7 Kennedy St ๐ฟ
More details in previous post..
Edit: There will be a fresh restock Sat morn if you missed out today!
Come and get some JOY! Tomorrow is a Flower Drop with a twist.
Blooms by the stem, on a "Pay What You Can" basis, from 9am.
I also have 2 order options till the end of this season - $25+ "Gate Style", or $50+ "Special Order" (I'll repost these details shortly).
I started Violets on Kennedy for 2 reasons. 1. I really missed working with flowers, they bring me joy and fill my creative cup 2. To make simple flowers accessible to everyone in our community.
As I've gotten busier, I've had to charge more to cover my time. As the pressure increased, the joy trickled away. I haven't done many flower drops this summer and it's been a relief. I work a day job and have a young family alongside the flowers and it was impossible to give everything 100% - something had to give!
Tomorrow's "Pay What You Can" is about coming back to offering simple flowers for everyone, and recapturing some joy, both for me and for you!

I'm just a florist, in her flower stand, hiding from her kids. Sorry guys, no flower drop tomorrow.
My studio space became a sauna today and the front porch was the only place cool enough to work! My piano stool perfectly matched today's flowers... Also, does anyone want a piano? Free, but stool not included... Message me!

PS Valentines is not a big deal in my relationship, but I know for others it's a special opportunity to spoil their loved ones and I'm so there for that! X
I had so much fun with something a little different a few weeks ago.. A 40th "tree stump" cake for my arborist husband! It felt great to have an idea and have it turn out exactly as I envisaged. I often feel like I'm too busy for new ideas, but making the time to do this felt amazing. I hope to be more intentional about holding space for more creative bursts this year!
