Flower arranging is literally back-breaking work. 😞 I love that so many of you have inquired about when I’ll be starting up flower arranging workshops again. Unfortunately, I don’t see that happening anytime soon. I might offer some small-scale pop-up shops later this fall, but for the foreseeable future, I’ve made it my mission to focus on my health and back issues. Love you all dearly but if you know me, you know that I tend to give 💯 to everything I do, and I just can’t do that with flowers anytime soon!

Love and hugs—
Kathy

Update:
Turning off orders for now but might have extras next week!

Who needs a 🌻 fix next week?

Medium arrangements available for $40 each next Friday, June 25th. Pre-orders only! And quantity is very limited because I’m working on this thing called “moderation”. I’m
only accepting 10 orders and I mean it this time! Comment below or Pm me to get on the list.

I’m officially taking a little break for awhile but I’ll be checking my private messages occasionally. I’ll still be fulfilling a few custom orders for now, but other than that, I’m just going to be lovin’ on my family.

😘💐

And that’s a wrap! I started this little flower arranging biz 2 1/2 years to honor my mama’s memory, so it’s fitting that I finished my 80th order of the week on her birthday. While I miss my mama fiercely, it does give me comfort to know that I helped 80 moms feel extra-loved this Mother’s Day. And some days, that has to be enough. ❤️💐

Update—
All gone!!

I have 10 beautiful green hydrangeas left over. $3/stem. Who wants ‘em?

See folks--I'm not making this up! The struggle is real!

A shortage of flowers could have some Mother’s Day gift-givers scrambling for holiday bouquets. Uncertainty during the early days of the pandemic and lingering supply chain issues have left some varieties of flowers in short supply and raised prices on others, florists said. That could have buyers...

04/29/2021

UPDATE: Succulent gardens are SOLD! I have 3 celfie pots left.

Okay friends—these are the last of the goodies I’ll have available for Mother’s Day! Pink-potted succulent gardens are $25 each and the celfie pots are $17 each. Once they’re gone, they’re gone! Comment If you’re interested and I’ll follow up with a private message.

SORRy—I can’t take any more orders at this time! If I have extra kits, I’ll make another post later in the week!😘

May Day is almost here! Let me know if you want a May Day basket kit for a $15 donation. You’ll get enough supplies to make at least 3 May Day baskets. The funds collected will be used to make May Day baskets for a local assisted living facility. Kits will be available for porch pickup starting on Thursday. Supplies are limited.

SOLD OUT!!!

UPDATE—
I have TWO left but I might be able to snag more pots later this week.

Your mama needs one of these, too! I only have 6 available. $25 each. 🌱 💕

04/15/2021

SORRY—I really can’t take any more at this time!! You can message me to get on the wait list though! Thanks, everyone, for your support!

Update—I can only take a few more orders!

Inspiration photo alert!

I think I can get my hands on some beautiful peonies for Mother’s Day. I’m pricing out a similar design. Who’s in if I can do it for $55? The arrangement in a gold vase would include peonies, hydrangeas, roses, and a few other secret items that I’m trying to get my hands on!

(If you already placed an order,I can always change it! I just need to have my final count for everything by Monday.)

04/15/2021

Sorry—All 3 have been SOLD!

Who needs a flower fix for the weekend? I have two small box arrangements ($30 each) and 1 bud vase ($12). First come first served. Porch pickup in Morgan Township!

04/13/2021

The flower truck is stopping my tomorrow! Any special requests? 🛻 💐

04/13/2021

A few different options for Mother’s Day!

I have 2 dark-washed and 4 white-washed custom 24-inch planters left. If you want to go with the look of Option 1 with the peperomia succulents/happy bean plants, the cost is $80 and contains at least 10 plants. Option 2 contains 8 succulents and costs $70. These arrangements are user-friendly because the succulents are each in individual pots so if one starts to look funky, you can just pop it out and replace it!

First come, first served! 🌱 🪴❤️

Unfortunately, I’m not going to be able to offer eucalyptus bundles or wreaths this spring. I check each week to see if the euc is arriving at my wholesalers in better condition, but it’s just not up to my standards. And I refuse to sell anything that I don’t love myself! A combination of strange weather, less freight space on airplanes, fewer workers, etc. have led to tough times for the floral industry this year. 😞 If/when the eucalyptus looks better, I’ll let you all know. So sorry for the inconvenience.

Who thinks i need to pre-order some peonies for our Mother’s Day arrangements? 🙋‍♀️

04/02/2021

Sorry— I have to officially cut off pre-orders at this time. I should have some cash & carry items available the week of May 3rd though. PM to get on the wait list. Thanks everyone for your overwhelming response!!

Looking ahead to Mother’s Day...🌺

I pre-ordered a HUGE assortment of springtime goodies ranging from
ranunculus and mini cala lilies to garden roses, orange pincushion proteas and lots of wildflowers. Here’s an example of the size/style of arrangements I’ll be creating but the actual design is TBD.

No payment due until I invoice you in late April! Respond to this post or Pm to get on the list. (And yes, everything is FRESH except for a few random dried surprises I like to throw in!)

Medium arrangements ($45), small boxed arrangements ($30) bouquets ($30), and bud vases ($12) will be available!

Sorry—completely sold out of all flowers this week! Hit me up for Mother’s Day!!

I’ll have 3 of these beauties available! $45 each.

03/31/2021

I snatched these goodies off the truck today! It’s safe to say that the laundry is going to have to wait until tomorrow!

03/30/2021

My fav flower truck will be stopping by tomorrow! Let me know if you have any special requests for Easter! 🐰 🌸

03/30/2021

Oh happy day! The forsythia is finally in bloom! 💛

03/29/2021

I can get my hands on a few more of these beauties! I love to use it as my transitional wreath when I’m in between seasons. I add moss to mine to give it a more natural look.

26-inch $40 (4 left)
20-inch $35 (2 left)

Seeded eucalyptus crisis!

Sorry folks—the seeded euc is still looking iffy so I can’t in good conscience sell it to you! I’ll still have wreath bundles and wreaths available next week but they just won’t contain any seeded euc (unless miraculously it comes in looking amazing but I’m not holding my breath!). I’ll reach out to everyone who placed to orders to see if you want t go ahead and still take your bundles/wreaths next week so you have them in time for Easter OR you can hold off for another week or two to see if the seeded comes in better. Just let me know. The strange winter weather has wreaked havoc on an already-struggling floral industry. 😞

03/22/2021

Who really, really, really needs something like this for Easter? I’m pricing out materials now so let me know If you’re interested.

03/20/2021

Happy Spring!

Time to place your order for eucalyptus bundles for the week of March 29th. You’ll get at least 4-5 varieties of eucalyptus, wire, elastic bands and directions for creating a fresh eucalyptus grapevine wreath. Cost is $40. If you need a grapevine wreath, cost is $45. Respond to this post if interested or PM me. I’ll reach out to everyone who has already expressed interest.

*If you’d like me to make you a custom wreath, the cost is $65.

Delivery is available within 15 miles of Valpo for $7.

03/20/2021

Sneak peek of some of the beauties I’m pre-ordering for Mother’s Day! Medium Boxed arrangements ($45), small boxed arrangements ($30) bouquets ($30), and bud vases ($12) will be available!
