I realized earlier this week that many of you who follow this account may not know the face behind it. My name is Carie & I decided to stay at home to raise my children because of this guy next to me. In a few short weeks he will turn 15. It takes my breath away to even write those words. My son is going to be 15…

This photo was taken of us on Monday before his graduation from 8th grade. I have taken this first week of summer vacation slowly, and given myself time to reflect during the moments when the house is quiet. I hope my children have seen me trying this new business venture- a little out of my comfort zone, a little uncertain, and little insecure- and learned that at any stage of life- it is okay to feel that way. And in spite of those feelings to move forward. I hope they have seen that it is never the wrong choice to take a chance and try something new. I hope that they see all the possibilities that can come from doing just that. I am so appreciative of all of you who have supported me these last several months, and cannot wait to see what comes next. Happy Summer friends!

This week I had the pleasure of sourcing flowers for a wedding. It made me think of my own, almost 19 years ago. I didn’t know much about flowers at the time, but fell in love with those that were chosen for me and these incredible women who stood next to us as we were married. I had no idea then that I would be able to do the same for someone’s special day. Headed into the weekend feeling very thankful for where flowers have led me. Wishing you all a restful weekend full of all the good things💚

Favorite flower Friday! I love hydrangeas. They come in a multitude of gorgeous colors, bloom in the best bunches and can be dried to last as long as you like. I am pleased to be accepting orders for Prom corsages & boutonnières. The last day to order is 5/1.

Well that was fun! I was able to come to my children’s school today to teach flower arranging for their “Learn Something New”Program. I brought the flowers, vases and all the cutting supplies and spent an hour talking with 25 middle school students about flowers and how to make a fun arrangement. The best part? My 13 year old and many of her friends were amongst the students. Made my day that she wanted to be a part of her Mom’s class💗🌸

This birthday bouquet went out yesterday. The only thing that makes me smile more than making something for someone’s special day, is doing so for one of my favorite friends 💗 Knowing the person allows me to create something that looks and feels just like them.

I took an inadvertent break from posting, but haven’t stopped moving forward with this new floral business. We took an incredible trip to Spain and Italy over our Spring Break, and we are now back into the normal routine.
I am gearing up for a fun flower arranging project at my children’s school and getting ready for all the flower requests for Prom. Happy weekend friends🌸

Four fun facts about me on this first Friday in March☘️

1. My favorite color is green, so I knew when I was choosing a name for this flower venture that some shade of green had to be included. 💚
2. I love watching old episodes of Beverly Hills 90210. I have seen each one countless times and never tire of watching the show. 📺
3. I cried at my own kindergarten graduation. The photos of me as a teary eyed 5 year old still makes me laugh. To this day, I am the one who is guaranteed to cry at any special occasion, sad movie or just because.🥲
4.I love the beach. I was lucky enough to live in Orange County for 10 years. The beauty of the drive to & from work on PCH is forever engraved in my mind. 🌊

Spring time is one of my absolute favorite things. Everything starts to feel as if it’s awakening after a long winter nap. Pops of color are blossoming around us, the sun is out later, & the sounds of birds awaken us in the morning. Remembering these lovely blooms from the home we stayed in Sayulita Mexico. Happy Wednesday!

What a whirlwind of a week! From a school staff appreciation luncheon to Valentine’s Day arrangements, my days were filled with flowers and it was an absolute blast. Feeling incredibly grateful heading into our mid winter break. Happy Friday!

Here are 5 Fun Facts about me on this 1st Friday in February🪷
1. I have a son and a daughter who are 17 months apart. I still get asked regularly if they are twins.
2. I have my California State Teaching Credential from Long Beach State & my Degree in Psychology from UCR.
3. Before I stopped working to stay home with my children, I was in Sales for a Dental Implant company. I taught the office staff at dental offices how to speak to their patients about the best option when they had missing teeth.
4. I began my career in flowers with my incredibly talented friend Kindra after our trip to Italy. We taught flower arranging workshops, and that led us to several years of a very successful Pop Up Shoppe.
5. My husband is my biggest supporter. I feel so fortunate that he always has supported my dreams❤️

Who else is loving this Spring like weather? I am going to enjoy it while it lasts knowing lots of rain is coming our way.
I love how this perfectly imperfect centerpiece turned out. It was the right fit for the table, adding beauty without overtaking the space..

After a week of being mostly indoors, it is so nice to be out in the sunshine today. Taking a moment to remember the beautiful Fall colors that were here before winter arrived. I love that when I am not with them, my family sends me photos of things they know I love. This tree sits at our family’s vineyard and was captured by my daughter💗

Many paths have led me to where I stand today, ready to turn my passion for flowers into a new career. I have really noticed lately the presence of flowers in our lives. We are greeted by them in the grocery store, on social media feeds of beautiful homes, on our favorite shows- they just complete everything, and make us stop for a moment to appreciate their beauty.
I am so excited to say that after a lot of thought and hard work, that Sage & Stems is here to make unique arrangements for every occasion. And I can’t wait to see where this new path will lead.
