Bonjour everyone 🌸
I know it’s been a long time since you’ve heard from me, lockdown has meant I had to shut down as market runs were too risky, I couldn’t possibly risk exposing myself having a child with a serious immune compromised health.
And now, here we are, life has gone back to some kind of normal so I felt I owed it to you lovely community and loyal customers to tell you what the plans are with Ile de Ré Flowers.
Well, I have bad and good news to share… the real downer is that the past lockdown really took its toll financially and unfortunately I had to make the very tough call to close my business as it is no longer a sustainable option to provide for my family.
The good news is that I will keep it as a side hustle for my loyal customers. The website www.iledereflowers.com is no longer active so if you’re desperate to get that timeless French country style arrangements, you can always get in touch with me via messenger or insta.
So for now, am going back to the big Corporate world where I spent 15 years mastering my project management skills which led me to become a proficient Event Manager for a major pharmaceutical company. Anyway, if you know or hear anyone who could use my help, hit me! Am in the process of job hunting!
I know this news is not the one you wanted to hear but providing for my family right now is the priority and sometimes in life you’ve gotta make some tough calls whether you like it or not right? Having said that, flowers will always be part of my life and if you’re really desperate for my designs, you know i will do my very best to make it happen 🌺🌾 and who knows what the future brings right? Maybe things will turn around again for Ile de Ré Flowers in the near future?
So on that note, I wish you all the very best, sweet sanity, delicious happiness and lots of blooms 🌸
À bientôt, Lily
