This has been the summer of lilacs! I have had sooo many requests for lilacs lately. I love it! They remind me of my childhood, growing up in the country!

I’m still here! I’ve been so wrapped up in a combination of summer activities, and working on flower orders, that I keep forgetting to post! Here’s a pretty little custom piece that went out recently. This was a small table top bouquet that was inspired by a bridal bouquet, then gifted to that bride. 😍

A few weeks ago, a dear friend sent me a message, along with a picture of a flower. She asked me if I knew what kind of flower it was. (I guess I’m the go-to-girl for anything flower related!) She said she was just curious because the flower made her happy when she looked at it. I told her it looked like a Coral Charm Peony. Well, today is her Birthday, so guess what I made her! You see, she told me that the flower made her happy when she looked at it… but I feel the same way about her! You can’t NOT be happy when around Stephanie! (Yes, she’s Stephanie too. I’ve called her “little Steph” since I met her about 9 years ago.) She is the sweetest, most generous, kind hearted little ray of sunshine! So how appropriate is it that I give this beautiful flower to my beautiful friend?

Happy Birthday Little Steph! 🩷

Also, do you think I should add these to my shop?

How appropriate is it that this beauty is heading across the country to Florida today?!?! 🍊

Up close.

This bouquet has jokingly been named “The number ONE.” Of all of the items in my shop, this bunch of felt blooms has become my most popular, most sold item. It was my very fist sale, the day I opened my Etsy shop, and almost a year later, it’s still a customer favorite. Just today, I am boxing two up to send to different parts of the country.
If you’re a creator/maker/artist/small business owner, what is your most popular item? I want to know!

Have a lovely Friday friends!

It’s a very chilly morning here in the Pacific Northwest! The sky is gray, and we got a little dusting of snow last night.
However, I’m bringing sunshine to your feed with this pretty bouquet that I just boxed up to ship to the East Coast!
Happy Friday, friends!

Sweet, simple ranunculus.

HAPPY NEW YEAR friends!
This “purple beauty” is my first bouquet of the year! It was created as a special request from a sweet neighbor of mine, so I was lucky enough to hand deliver it to her. This was extra special for me because I got to see the joy it brought to her, first hand! I hope your 2024 is filled with JOY! ❤️

It’s spooky season and everyone’s feeds are full of dark, muted colors… and here I am, swooning over this gorge pastel custom order that went out today! BUT DON’T WORRY, keep watching for a new spooky bunch of blooms that will be popping up very soon! 🖤💜🖤

09/10/2023

Happy Monday! It’s October, which means cozy sweaters, changing leaves, warm drinks, pumpkin flavored everything (I don’t get the hype) and my Birthday! However, this custom bouquet is giving me summer vibes and and kind of love it!

04/10/2023

I‘m trying to get better at remembering to snap pictures of my bouquets before they go out. I usually remember at night with poor lighting, or after I’ve taped up the box! 😂
However, here are a couple of my favorites that I remembered to photograph from this week.

28/08/2023

Did you know daisies symbolize PURITY, INNOCENCE, NEW BEGINNINGS, JOY & CHEERFULNESS? They’re also the birth flower for those of you born in April.
You can’t look at these sweet little flowers and not feel happy! A simple, small bouquet that would make the perfect gift. In my shop!

Who doesn’t love a bunch of wildflowers? I grew up out in the country. I remember picking bouquets of wildflowers as a child. Little did I know, (many) years later, I’d be hand making and selling those same flowers! ❤️

28/08/2023

I LOVE custom orders! It’s so fun collaborating with my clients to come up with a creation that is completely unique, and made just for them! This beautiful bunch of blooms is on it’s way across the country, to a client who had a very specific vision for a bouquet to adorn a newly renovated room in her home. I hope she loves them as much as I do!

With, or without the ribbon? I keep going back and forth. I like the simplicity of it without, but I’m a sucker for the classic black and white stripes!

13/06/2023

A kitchen table? What’s that for? I think I used to have one of those! (Sorry family.)
I had so many plans to post all of the beautiful florals going out, but I just have not found the time!
I’m coming up for air to ask for help! I have my first international orders going out. I have 3 going to France! Sooo… who do I know that is fluent in French, that would be willing to translate a paragraph for me? (Willing to exchange for mini bouquet with your favorite flower in it! 😁)

03/06/2023

Ok guys, listen up! Raise your hand if you struggle to come up with ANNIVERSARY gift ideas for your lady! What if you could give her a beautiful, sentimental gift that would last forever?
How about a table top recreation of her wedding bouquet? All I need is a picture of her bouquet, and I can create a beautiful replica, made from wool blend felt, for to enjoy every day!
Tag or share with your spouse, dad, grandfather, brother, wife, friend… anyone who you think might need an idea/nudge when it comes to gift ideas! Message me here, or in my shop to discuss pricing and options!

Lots of sunflower orders recently!
I don’t know what it is about sunflowers, but they instantly brightened my day! ☀️

19/05/2023

This pretty little stem of ranunculus has become one of my favorites. Beautiful alone, or styled in a bouquet!
These past two weeks have been CRAZY! I was so busy finishing up and delivering Mother’s Day orders last week, I barely looked up. I thought for sure that this week would be a bit more calm, but that has not been the case. Keep an eye out in my shop for new items next week!

10/05/2023

Isn’t she lovely? She’s available in my shop and is ready to ship today, just in time for those last minute shoppers! (4 days until Mother’s Day!)

Does anything scream SPRING like daffodils do? This very special custom order is heading out to a very special lady lady! However, I listed in my shop this morning, and you can now order your very own!

Happy Monday, friends!
Here in the PNW, we are teetering on that silly little line of “kind of spring, kind of still winter.” However, all of the beautiful buds and blooms starting to poke out of my yard, give me hope that warm sunny days are on their way! My girls and I LOVE sunflowers. I realize we don’t live in an ideal growing climate for them, but they will grow. My daughter planted 5 last year, that got to about 4 feet tall… then the naughty squirrels in our back yard decided that they’d be the perfect snack. They snapped the heads off and devoured the sunflowers! (Along with our zucchini and a few other things from our garden.) My 4 year old was devastated! So we’re trying again this year. WHO HAS TIPS FOR KEEPING SQUIRRELS OUT IF YOUR GARDEN!?!?!?
