Hey friends and flower fans.I know I haven't posted much lately. To be honest, I've been pretty exhausted.This whole breast reconstruction thing is more draining than they let you know in the beginning. I'm happy to say that my next and last surgery is on tuesday of next week, and I will be taking some time off to rest and heal. Today will be my last day in the shop for a little bit, working on a wedding for @poppyflowersco @howe_farms
A bunch of people ask me all the time how I continue to have such a positive attitude and a big part of it is just making the decision that this is just another challenge, another moment to earn some battle scars. These battle scars just happen to be literally 10 inches across my chest.But i'm not ashamed of them or embarrassed to have them. It's just more proof that I am a fighter.
In that vein, here's a little clip of me pushing through the day exhausted but happy to be playing with flowers. I'm putting a link for my playlist
I've created to help me when I need it. I think music is so powerful. So even if you don't like these songs or pop music, there's a reason for each of them. Some are very clear, some are not. Just ask @puptown.girl about Billy Joel.

This is how you pick out a vase for a design…. Or at least how I pick out a vase for a design it comes with rump shaking, and high kicks.

We do subscription orders that are 100% customizable. You choose how often and for how long, and you can even pick the date! If you don't feel like taking the order for yourself, you can gift it to someone else to spread some joy. This is a great way to treat yourself or give a gift of flowers for Mother's Day or Birthdays.

We don't force the cascading shape on our orchids like the ones you see in the grocery store. We allowed them to grow as they would on nature. I love love love the variety!

Does anyone need a couple muscovy ducks?
Here are some of our ducks following me down the driveway for the pop up!
We had 8 born in our little greenhouse last summer and we need to remove some. They are friendly but don't like to be picked up, most of them will eat out of my hand. They eat tons of mosquitoes, ticks and other bugs from the yard. They sleep in the trees so they don't need a hutch. It helps if you have a little body of water around the house. They're not big swimmers but they do like to splash in the water.
We had a surprise visitor in the shop today. This is Morgan one of my favorite ducks. I tried explaining that we are by appointment only, but she didn't listen.
Our baby ducks have taken to following me to work in the morning and hanging out watching me make flowers.
Meric Moments did such an amazing job capturing and editing this video at Moser Manor Farms - Thanks to Athena Photography for all of the planning and involving me. I love all of the pictures and videos and friendships that came from this day!

It's official! We have a small flower shop on our property! We will be open to the public 10 to 4, Friday to Sunday for Valentine's. Outdoor pop-up depends on weather.
Our little shop is not quite finished but it's already perfect to me! I was going to give a small video tour but Yoshi and Olive interrupted with play time, lol
