As a collective of small businesses, we unite to share an important message: shop small this holiday season. While we’ve highlighted this cause multiple times throughout the year, Black Friday presents a unique challenge as we compete against multi-million dollar corporations offering deals and discounts that are impossible for us to match. We encourage you to prioritize your local shops not just during the holidays, but year-round. Let’s make this week a celebration of our community. Let’s make sure that WE ALL SHOP SMALL!

Inspired by the season’s golden glow and warm spices, I’m excited to share this piece for a photo shoot collab with for a lovebirds shoot! 💞 It features stunning cornel bronze dahlias, grown locally by , with lush autumn eucalyptus. I blended elements from different seasons to create a whimsical vibe and I’m pleased to see it harmonizing so nicely with this sunny day! 😎

Late summer harvests are wild! I love when everything’s overgrown and textural and the stems go a little rogue. Some varieties at the end of their season back to seed, some reaching their fullest form. Oh and peep that carnivore!

Behind the scenes at Exfolia. A lot of our neighbors know from passin’ by, sometimes we work laaaate. and I are nocturnal beings from working in the restaurant industry for most of our adult lives; I started in fine dining at 17, Emily in her 20’s so we tend to feel most creative and can push later vs waking up super early to get crackin’ (but we also do that).

The work we put out is mostly planned but I leave room for the process to unfold organically. Not to mention if you have any experience in floral (or food for that matter) working with natural/perishable ingredients has its challenges and often times is a huge wild card. The flowers call the shots, they’re our boss and sometimes they’re unpredictable. While I always have a plan in place, the designs unfold a little differently than my intention and it’s nice to allow some breathing room for the magic.

More often than not an installation takes place on site, we get one chance to make it right before an event most people dream about their whole lives. I will forever be my harshest critic and often times have tweaks and couldas after seeing a piece in its final state. But I have that experience to work on the next large piece with greater confidence and insight. I love challenging myself with ambitious projects and then not sleeping for 2 days to get it done. Only to make a similar piece a year later and see it come together in a couple hours.

We love the work, we’re getting better and better with practice.

AND WE’RE TAKING A LITTLE TIME OFF!

Exfolia will be CLOSED JULY 3-9
SEE YOU NEXT WEDNESDAY JULY 10!!
We’ve got some cool shop stuff coming your way and are so excited to share with you!!

Sometimes we don’t have the words, even for a fun occasion like a birthday or anniversary! 🎈🎈🎈

Flowers are like these delicate messengers articulating sentiments and emotions on our behalf. Their colors, scents and varieties will spark a feeling and comfort, revealing past and future memories. 👽🌸🪻🌻👽

This one was for a birthday on a day when the sun said hi for just this moment. Like a crystal, it charged up the rays to shine on the bday girl. 🌤️🌞✨
