๐ธ A Day I Will Never Forget ๐ธ
What started as a dream many years ago has become one of the proudest moments of my life.
Today, I had the incredible honour of welcoming the Mayor of Dunstable, Cllr Richard Attwell, and his consort, Patricie, to Flores Boutique.
As someone who came to the UK from Ecuador in 1996, without speaking English and with nothing but determination, I never imagined that one day the Mayor and Patricie would visit my small business to hear my story and see the work I have built with my own hands.
I was honoured to share my passion for floristry, my vision for the future of Flores Boutique, and my exciting plans for my upcoming Floral Couture Fashion Show, where flowers become wearable works of art.
This visit was not just about flowersโit was about believing that dreams really can come true through hard work, resilience, and never giving up.
A heartfelt thank you to Mayor Cllr Richard Attwell and his consort, Patricie, for taking the time to visit, for your kindness, and for supporting local independent businesses. It was a pleasure to share such a special day with you both.
Thank you to my wonderful family, friends, neighbours, customers, and everyone who joined me to celebrate such a special occasion. Your encouragement and kindness mean more than words can express.
This is just the beginning of an exciting new chapter for Flores Boutique, and I can't wait to continue sharing my journey with you all.
With love,
