Is it because this is the first year I’m growing them, that the season is waning, or are dahlias possibly the most versatile and resilient flowers? Soft peaches and golds, hinting at summer’s retreat in the studio this week.

Looking to create a cohesive and enchanting winery wedding? Consider a consistent floral palette across all tables, potentially featuring warm tones like peach, burgundy, and orange. Enhance the ambiance with string or fairy lights around the pergola and colored taper candles for a magical atmosphere at dusk. Complement the elegant gold votive candles with coordinated lighting for added depth and charm. Align all signage, menus, and place cards with the wedding’s aesthetic using similar fonts and colors. Set up a wine-tasting station or vineyard tour for an engaging guest experience, and capture unforgettable moments with photo opportunities that showcase the vineyard’s rustic beauty.

Did you know that I’m naturally shy? This became even more evident when I recently restarted my social media and immediately felt the pressure to perform. Being a high achiever and solution-oriented, combined with innate shyness, doesn’t necessarily make for an effortless sharing experience in the world of Instagram. You can imagine my shock when my original account was hacked – it felt like the rug was pulled from beneath me, and I found myself contemplating the daunting prospect of starting all over.

So, this time around, I want to take it slow. I understand the importance of keeping up with the algorithm for my posts to reach you, but I’ve spent the last seven days returning to the state of mind I had when I had no access to my Instagram account. It was a liberating experience. I chose to place everything in God’s hands, allowing us to thrive amidst the roles of being a wife, a homeschooling mother running a business, and nurturing my desire to express and teach creativity.

I am genuinely committed to not getting pulled back into the performance-driven nature of social media. While my posts may not be flashy, and my grid might appear understated, I won’t be dancing or playing loud music. However, I do believe that consistency can coexist with authenticity.

So, if what you seek is a genuine and unfiltered journey, then I invite you to come along. Let’s navigate this path together, where true authenticity takes precedence over the performance, and where we can celebrate the beauty of simplicity. It’s about sharing without shouting, and being heard in the quietest of ways.

In the silence of Helen Keller's world, where the beauty of a bouquet might be felt rather than seen, I reflect on her wisdom: 'Although the world is full of suffering, it is also full of the overcoming of it.' Simple words, yet a beacon of hope.⁠
⁠
Much like the unseen beauty of a bouquet, our online presence has been veiled temporarily – a redirection sparked by an unfortunate hacking incident over at In these moments, immersed in the creative process, my gratitude for blessings deepens, coupled with a profound sense of responsibility.⁠
⁠
Choosing silence became a deliberate pause amidst the noise, nurturing my creative journey. Amidst the delicate tapestry of rebuilding post-hack, I draw strength and fortify plans for the path ahead. Despite the challenges, I stand resilient, welcoming your connection.⁠

Follow us here for the latest updates on our journey of recovery and the beauty we're creating through exquisite floral artistry. Let's rebuild and reconnect, emerging stronger than ever. Your voice matters; I genuinely want to hear from you. 🌿

Well good morning fellow image bearer….

Daily Blessing

May you hold fast to that which strengthens your soul. May you create time and space for Jesus: time in His Word, time to pray and reflect, time with your people, and even time for vigorous exercise because it reminds you that you're alive in Him. May you refuse to procrastinate on the essential things. May you be motivated to turn away from time wasters and comfort foods. May you instead engage in the life-giving work and nourishment that Jesus has provided for you. Your calling matters. Your life matters. And YOU matter because you are an image-bearer of the Most High God. Have a blessed and beautiful day.

Ecclesiastes 2:24-25 (NIV) ~ A person can do nothing better than to eat and drink and find satisfaction in their own toil. This too, I see, is from the hand of God, for without him, who can eat or find enjoyment?
