As we wrap up the year, we’ve been thinking about everything that’s happened — and honestly, what a ride it’s been! Moving into our very own shop still feels surreal, and being able to host workshops in our space? Total pinch-me moments.

We’ve had the honor of creating for so many beautiful weddings and events this year, and each one reminded us why we love what we do. There were definitely ups and downs (because, let’s be real, that’s life), but we’re taking a minute to soak in the wins — because they’re HUGE, and we couldn’t be prouder.

And truly, none of it would be possible without this amazing community. You’ve shown up for us, cheered us on, and supported this little dream of ours in ways we can’t even put into words. We’re beyond grateful for each and every one of you.

Here’s to celebrating the big wins, the small victories, and everything in between. Thank you for being part of our story — we can’t wait to see what’s next in 2025!

And with that we’re closed for the year. Thanks for showing up big this month!

Though we would love to dig through the archives and post the highlight reels of 2024, if we’re being honest, we’re more ready to log off and spend the next two weeks with our families. Not get lost in the comparison game of everyone’s highlights.

Once we’re back we can’t wait to share some of the wedding galleries landing in our inbox, what we’re restocking the shop with, and our valentines collection.

But first rest.

We hope your holiday is everything you need it to be. We’re here for it all. The highs and lows. We get it’s a bit complex.

Enjoy this photo we accidentally snapped while trying to make a video!

We just wanted to take a moment to say THANK YOU!!!

You’ve truly shown up in a big way this holiday season, and we’re so grateful.

That means we were able to place some orders to restock today that support three other local, small business.

A quick reminder: you can shop online and pick up your orders at the shop during business hours. It’s also the last week to place bulk holiday gift bundle orders!

Can we be honest?

Ok, cool.

We’re taking a note from

Sometimes it’s hard to feel festive.

Sometimes we just want to snuggle at home with our loved ones because sometime life is complex. There’s a lot going on outside the shop.

But you know what gets us excited about the holidays?

You!

Every single person who stops in the shop to declare they’ve found the perfect gift for a special person in their life.

When you pick up something special to take care of yourself during a season that can be filled with so many complicated feelings.

Last year was our first time having a storefront. We had just opened and were excited, but we both work other jobs and were learning how to manage the storefront and “balance it all.”

In November, someone we had never met before walked into our shop and said, “You girls are behind. All the big-box stores have their Christmas stuff out.”

Our hearts instantly sank.

As small business owners, we know there’s a never-ending to-do list, and we always feel behind.

But we also know that big-box stores are not our true competition. We will never “keep up” with them.

Nor do we want to because there more intention and personal connect with every single items that’s in our shop.

This holiday season, we might be “more behind” — whatever that means.

It’s been a hard year for small businesses, especially retail, or so we’ve been told by friends who have been doing this longer than we have.

We get it.

We’re looking at our bank account, trying to figure out how we can possibly buy new inventory to refresh the shop and encourage people to shop local.

We hear other businesses struggling and see so many closing their doors.

All that to say, we understand firsthand the struggles we’re all enduring in “this economy.” We’re both still working other jobs and trying to create something beautiful for our community through our storefront.

So, if you want our community to not just survive but thrive, be mindful not just of your holiday shopping, but all shopping.

We are always working hard to create beautiful gift options that make it easy to give personal gifts while supporting other local and small businesses.

Our gift bundles generally support anywhere from 3-5+ other small businesses that celebrate every single time they get an order because that might mean they get to pay rent that month, pay themselves, or buy presents for their kids.

Thank you for supporting local, for choosing small businesses, and for believing in the heart and soul of our community. We’re beyond grateful to be here because of you and can’t wait to make this season special together.

Thank you for the sweet photos and encouragement seeing our shop through your eyes!

Hey friends! We’re Kait and Becca, and we’re so excited to share a little peek at our refreshed shop! After being in our space for just over six months, we gave it a complete flip—and it’s bringing us so much joy.

Our vintage floral coach is now the star of the show as soon as you walk in, and we’ve been busy curating vintage floral artwork for a cozy gallery wall that we can’t get enough of. The shop feels more like home than ever, and we’ve loved adding these little touches of character and warmth.

Now that things are looking fresh, here’s a little about us:

Becca is the one making the shop beautiful — our lead floral designer and merchandise curator, always hands-deep in blooms, creating thoughtful, special arrangements.

Kait is the logistics brain and marketing guru, keeping everything running smoothly from orders to events, while dreaming up new ideas for the shop.

And a few fun facts, just because:

• We’re obsessed with fall and all things cozy. Our front table is filled with some of our favorite fall items—from watercolor books to mulled cider and the best locally made fall candles.
• When Becca’s not designing flowers, she’s teaching her tiny humans in her early childhood autism classroom. She also loves fun shoes, big earrings, and spending summer days at her parents’ lake house in Minnesota.
• Kait loves a good spreadsheet as much as she loves gardening. She’s happiest on her front porch with a warm drink, enjoying time with her family.
• We have a genuine love for vintage and thrifting, often exploring antique markets and local shops to discover unique pieces that bring charm to our space.
• We’re all about supporting our community, which is why we love showcasing locally and independently made items that reflect the talent and creativity of fellow artisans.

We’d love for you to stop by, say hi, and check out the new space!

And if you love fall as much as we do, don’t miss our upcoming floral design workshop on November 7th.

Hope to see you there!
