We’ve been working hard to finalize our plans 2024! Now it’s 2025 and we are ready to roll up our sleeves! Read the post below and make sure you follow along with us! 🌹🍳

𝐇𝐞𝐥𝐩 𝐔𝐬 𝐁𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐒𝐚𝐥𝐭 + 𝐏𝐞𝐭𝐚𝐥 𝐭𝐨 𝐋𝐢𝐟𝐞!

Salt + Petal isn’t just a new business—it’s a heartfelt mission to honor Jacksonville’s history while creating a vibrant, welcoming space for our community. We’re two passionate small business owners working to restore 𝟑𝟐𝟔 𝐖. 𝐒𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐒𝐭𝐫𝐞𝐞𝐭, 𝐚 𝟏𝟓𝟎-𝐲𝐞𝐚𝐫-𝐨𝐥𝐝 building on historic State Street in downtown Jacksonville IL. This incredible space has so much character and history, and we’re committed to preserving as much of it as possible while bringing it to life in a way that serves our community and customers for generations to come.

When we first started this project, things seemed simpler. But as we dove deeper into a building with so much history, we realized just how important it is to do this the right way—and how costly it can be to restore and preserve its original charm. From structural upgrades to modernizing the space while keeping its historic essence intact, every step has required extra care, planning, and investment.

Over the past year, we’ve worked tirelessly to secure SBA funding to make this dream a reality. Now, we need your help to take the final steps toward creating a space Jacksonville can be proud of. Salt + Petal will be a destination where history meets innovation: a place to enjoy fresh, made-from-scratch meals, stunning floral arrangements, and a warm atmosphere that blends old-world charm with modern comfort.

🌸 A Year in Bloom: Reflecting on 12 Months of Joy 🌸

As we close the chapter on this year, we’re taking a moment to look back at the incredible blooms we’ve had the honor of designing. Each flower arrangement we created tells a story of love, celebration, comfort, and connection. Here’s a glimpse of the year in flowers—a reflection of the beauty we’ve shared with all of you!

Each bouquet represents a moment in time, and it’s been our greatest joy to create for you. Whether it was for weddings, birthdays, farewells, or just because—your stories inspire us every day.

As we step into a new year, we look forward to designing more beauty, sharing more joy, and being part of the special moments in your lives. Thank you for trusting us to bring your visions to life. Here’s to another year of blooming together! 🌟

The holiday season can be a time of joy, but for many, it also brings a profound sense of grief. At Rosebud & Co., we understand how hard it can be to face the season when you’re missing someone you love. Flowers can offer comfort and a way to honor their memory, whether it’s through a special arrangement for their resting place, a tribute at a holiday gathering, or simply a small bouquet to brighten your space.

***NOTE*** As we take time to reflect and recharge, our shop will be closed for walk-ins and regular orders from now until January 2nd. During this time, we are still here to support grieving families. Funeral orders will continue to be our priority, and we’ll also be celebrating love with two beautiful weddings over the holidays.

If you need assistance with a floral arrangement during this time, please don’t hesitate to reach out. Thank you for allowing us to be a part of your moments, both joyous and solemn. Wishing you peace and light this holiday season.

’Twas the night before Christmas, and all through the shop, Not a petal was stirring, not even a drop.
The bouquets were arranged in their vases with care,
In hopes that new smiles soon would bloom there.

The ribbons were tied, and the bows were all neat,
Each bouquet a treasure, a holiday treat.
The poinsettias stood proud, their red leaves aglow,
A festive display in the soft candle’s glow.

When out on the street there arose such a clatter,
Ross sprang from the counter to see what was the matter.
Away to the window he flew like a breeze,
Peeking past garlands and twinkling trees.

The snow softly fell, painting all white,
Giving Beardstown a magical Christmas Eve night.
When what to his wondering eyes should appear,
But a sleigh full of flowers and eight floral reindeer!

“Now Hydrangea! Now Peony! Now Sunflower and Dahlia! On Carnation! On Orchid! On Tulip and Zinnia!
To the top of the vases, to the customers’ doors,
Spread joy through the town, through windows and floors!”

So, off flew the sleigh with a floral cascade,
Delivering beauty that Ross made.
And just as the sleigh vanished out of sight,
A whisper of petals floated into the night.

Ross smiled to himself, locking the door tight,
Happy Christmas to all, and to all a bloomed night!

12 Days of Flowers: Day 12 – Honoring Jack Fearneyhough

As we conclude this year’s 12 Days of Flowers, we couldn’t think of a more fitting recipient for Day 12 than Jack Fearneyhough. Jack embodies the spirit of dedication, community, and selflessness that makes Beardstown such a special place.

From the moment the idea of the Beardstown Christkindlmarkt was born, Jack has been a driving force behind its success. His vision and tireless work have transformed this event into a hallmark of our community, bringing together neighbors, friends, and visitors in celebration of the season. Whether it’s the twinkling lights, the bustling vendor stalls, or the warmth of shared laughter, Jack’s efforts shine in every detail.

But Jack’s impact extends far beyond this cherished event. He is the kind of person who gives without expecting anything in return, pouring his heart into Beardstown and inspiring others to do the same. His leadership, passion, and unwavering commitment remind us all of the power of community and the importance of investing in one another.

Today, we honor Jack with the final bouquet of this year’s 12 Days of Flowers. It is a small token of gratitude for the big difference he continues to make. Jack, thank you for all you do to bring light, joy, and unity to our town. You are truly one of Beardstown’s greatest treasures.

With gratitude,
Rosebud & Co.
