Flower Weaving at last week was AMAZING!

Weaving with dried materials can feel intimidating at first. Where to start, how to handle the delicate petals, and what exactly to make are all excellent questions and concerns!

Through demonstration, supporting one another, and talking through our individual vision, everyone left with something completely unique!

It is such a wonderful feeling seeing each other's creative voices shine through in their pieces.

Thank you again to for having Sam's Stems and new friends for the evening! We always leave feeling more inspired than before!

These workshops leave me feeling so incredibly inspired 🌞🌻 What an absolutely magical evening at Generations Herbal Apothecary & Gift Shop for our Spring Broom Workshop!

We discussed the significance of the various dried flowers and crystals Sam's Stems provided and how they relate to the transition of the spring season. Soon after, we dove right into working on our brooms!

Something that stuck with me from this evening was about 10 minutes of a comfortable, natural silence.. it wasn't until minutes later when we looked at each other and realized how in tune we all were with our work!

At one point, we all checked in on our progress and one participant said, "I feel like I am rushing but I can't help it! I'm just excited to see what it looks like!" 😭♥️ How can you not be happy seeing so many people connecting with flowers and their creative side 🌞🌻

So thankful for this experience we shared!
