Darling friends,
I had plans to do a live about orchids tonight -
But a terrible earache/sinus infection has decided to interrupt my plans.
I can’t even fake my way through it.
If I feel better tomorrow - I’ll give it a spin, but I have a different kind of spin to manage tonight … bluh.

Got called in to work today- will see you at 6 pm PST SUNDAY

Be Mine, Valentine!

My goodness how strange it is to be approaching my first Valentine’s Day as a until further notice retired florist.
I decided to take a bit of a break because well, the industry that I love is not the same industry here in New York City and I’m not quite ready/crazy enough to be an entrepreneur again.

*HOWEVER*
Because I LOVE VALENTINES DAY, I am holding a Zoom class this Saturday to show you how to make fleurs from TJ’s and Whole Foods look like a million!
If you want to join in I will post a list of supplies you need to get - if you just want to watch me weave my magic, well- you can do that too!

Topic: Tropical Valentines, non-terrible bouquets and simple dozens…

I’ll post an invite but I am leaving the FB platform so I can own my videos, if this goes as well as I hope- I’ll be around every month with a new floral/craft adventure.

I’ve been getting the sleeve pull as to where the most discerning of Valentines should get poetic,precocious and perfect flowers since I am not there to serve my lewks.
Well, fret no more dear ones-
has got you.
All you goths, geeks, givers of grandeur and strange rock and rollers are in good, good HANDS.

I love and miss you all- I retired after the last bad and very abusive workplace.
I am now selling beautiful jewels for and *very happy*.
When it comes to floral, It’s my way or no way - and for right now this little seed is plunged deep in to the soil of her new town- waiting for the moment when blooming becomes the only option.

Oops, that last post was supposed to be on my personal account. Thank you to those who read it. Short of the long, it’s been rough this week.
but the fairytale houses, and this rose made a long dumb trip to Queens interesting yesterday.

Having a rough go of it this week- feeling very unskilled at life.
The new job is very hard, very hard and making me feel like I have zero talent as a florist.
The woman I work next to is kind and pushes me in a way that works, the manager screams.
I’m too slow, too nice to customers, you name - I am it, and I get yelled at for it.
Unfortunately I have a neurodivergent response to yelling and I start laughing ( because I am a: scared b: uncomfortable c: men screaming is funny)
I mean, I get it- it’s how the owner talks to
Him- so that’s how he chooses to lead but man, it does not generate respect or make a person feel@anything but fearful.

I need the money so I am busting myself up to make it work, I have to- but I don’t know friends…..
Perhaps it’s time for a little introspection Portland good may not mean New York good.and the love and care I feel for flowers and connecting with customers over flowers has not meant a good goddamn to anyone I have worked for here.
I’m tired, I’m sad and while I don’t feel hopeless, I do have less hope.
I’ll find it…I always do but at this moment I feel so away from any kind of purpose- and I guess that is what I miss.
I *hated* my company some days - but for nearly a decade found purpose in my work. It’s hard to live without it.

Your flower witch send her love…
Happy Haunting Friends, fiends and fancy flower friends.

I have my NYC dream job…and it happened *effortlessly* .
In the early days of Spellbound *this* is where I imagined being.
I have haunted these halls for years and dreamed of my “greater thans” here. Fast forward to 2022 and I am fully in charge of making flowers and making it magic. ( and NONE OF THE STRESS OF RUNNING THE WHOLE DAMN THING)
So, when you’re in NYC and need some Nico Icon Brand ©️ Razzle Dazzle, c’mon over to Damselfly Flowers in Chelsea Market and see me sometime…

Hello friends, fiends and fancy flower fans. Just checking in to say everything here on the other side of the country is exactly as I hoped it would be.
I feel like I have been reunited with the love of my life.

This week, in honor of the end of summer and *BEYONCÉ’s Birthday*
I am going to be introducing you to this week in my posts and stories.
After a lot of looking, Page is who I am passing the striped flag on to and recommending to all my favorite people who need exceptional and magical flowers delivered with renegade style and maximum grace.
In the meantime, I appreciate all the love and support over the years and I am
Sending you all my love from Central Park.

If you want to follow my further flower adventures, I’ll eventually start posting over at . For right now though, I am enjoying my summah- every sweaty, humid moment of it.

Sticking the dismount is not my forte these days- going to be a little slow with the final orders today - 5 stitches and a broken toe do not make for a fast rabbit.
If you have placed a order for today or tomorrow and can pick up, I would really appreciate it. Xoxoxo

This week’s guest star is the still point of Spellbound’s turning world.

I chose this to be the signature Rosa Spellbound because it was the closest rose that I could find to the legendary Portland rose, in the 10 years that I’ve been open I have sold over 40,000 of these, and they still manage to dazzle me every time I see them.
There are some bunches that are better than others and it delights me that I bought three •perfect•bundles to share with you this week.
Orange roses are a symbol of desire passion and enthusiasm, not just lust, but lust for life.
It seems very fitting to me that the story of Spellbound would begin and end on this note.

🎵I was humming a tune, drinking in sunshine
When out of that orange colored view
(Flash, bam, alakazam)
I got a look at you🎶

The last days of Spellbound….
and of course the gorgeous gorgeous flowers really need to make it hurt don’t they? Next Friday I will be taking my last orders for delivery through August 2, if you’d like to get your last fix of Spellbound magic.
Place your orders through our gorgeous website.
After the 29th the site will not be visible to the public, I will be doing some restructuring and introducing my recommended magic makers for your feral floral needs

Sweating the small stuff….

07/14/2022

With the most bitter of sweet feelings, I announce that Spellbound Flowers will close its doors as of July 30th, 2022.
The time has come for me to heed the deepest callings of my heart and set sail for the East Coast. 
 
While I am endlessly proud of the pivot I was able to do during the pandemic- the idea of pivoting *again* in the post-world just feels like spinning- and while not broken, my entrepreneurial spirit is deeply bruised. I was offered an irresistible opportunity in Brooklyn, NY, so it is time to take my talents and join a team of marvels.


I feel profound thanks and gratitude for all the people I have had the privilege of getting to know. Being a part of your significant moments, milestones, missteps, and magic has been a tremendous privilege.


I will let everyone know where to find me and follow my adventure as it unfolds.
If you would like Spellbound, in the words of Daft Punk, “One more time,” you’ve got till July 28th to order for delivery or pick up.

I rather enjoy my zoom roost in my office. My goal is to serve MSNBC pundit realness.

It’s a jungle in here…
