A personal plea....

This October, I’m taking on a personal challenge and walking to raise money for the Bowelbabe Fund. I'm doing the 45mile Challenge ... but I'm going a few steps further... I'm doing 6️⃣1️⃣! Dedicating each mile to someone, something or a reason connected to bowel cancer.

A mile for each year my Mum graced this earth 🩷

Bowel cancer affects so many families, and behind every statistic is a real person, a family and a story.

My final mile will be dedicated to Mum 🩷

MILE 1
👟Every journey starts with one step.
MILE 2
❓For every family waiting for answers.
MILE 3
🥊For everyone fighting bowel cancer today
MILE 4
💪🏼For the people who refuse to give up

If you are able to donate, I would be incredibly grateful.

And if you can't - sharing my fundraiser is just as valuable and would help me reach more people.

I've already completed 4 miles as I started yesterday, I just couldn't get Strava to link to my justgiving page 🙄

My biggest supporter ever… my Mum. 🩷

The very first flowers I ever made were for my Mum. She was the one who encouraged me to go for a job in a florist in Stoke on Trent.

I remember the first time I made a big puff bow, I carried it all the way home on the bus to show her. She shared in my enthusiasm even then, despite it being just a bow...she was proud that I was learning something new.

Then I made my first bunch of flowers for her, she was over the moon. Mum's favourites have always been Germini...big, bright happy heads, they always made her smile.

Little did I know then that those first flowers would be the beginning of such a huge part of my life. Flowers became my work, my passion and something I built so much of my life around.

And through all of it, Mum was always there.

Through the highs, the exciting times, every new idea and every achievement, she was there with words of support and telling me how proud she was of me.

Every morning of the 'peaks' (Christmas, Valentine's and Mother's Day) she would call me, I would tell her I couldnt do it any more, that it's just too stressfull, but she always give me a good talking to, told me to put my big girl pants on and I'd be fine...she was right.

She was my biggest supporter and my biggest believer.

And now, somehow, after all those years and all those flowers, I've come right back to where it all started.

The last flowers I made were for my beautiful Mum too. 🩷

I never imagined that the beginning and the end of my journey with flowers would be connected in this way.

I've made flowers for so many people and so many occasions over the years, but these were the hardest I've ever had to make.

Bright pink, and baby pink Gerbera and Germini, just what she would have loved.
She always shone in pink 🩷

The woman who believed in me from the very beginning. The woman who always told me I could. I love you endlessly Mum 🌸 🩷

🌸 An important announcement from Floral Ambitions 🌸

After a great deal of thought, many difficult conversations and more emotion than I ever imagined, I have made the difficult decision to close Floral Ambitions.

This isn't because the business wasn't working. It isn't because I stopped loving what I do and it certainly isn't because I don't have more to give.

Sometimes, though, life has a way of putting things into perspective.

Over the past while, I've been cruelly reminded just how precious life is, how quickly things can change and how important the people I love are. Family, time together and being there for the people who matter most have made me stop and really think about what I want from life.

Running my business has consumed so much of me . My time, my thoughts, my evenings, my weekends — and before I knew it, I was constantly thinking about what's next rather than simply being present for what's happening now.

I've realised that life is too short to always be busy.

There are things far more important than work. More important than deadlines, orders, appointments and the next thing that needs to be done....and sometimes, choosing family, choosing time and choosing to slow down isn't giving up. It's choosing what matters most.

Closing Floral Ambitions is emotional. It feels like the end of a very significant chapter, and walking away from something I've built for almost two decades and loved...it's noteasy.

But I also know that chapters end for a reason — and perhaps this one is simply making space for something different.

So, with a very heavy heart but also with hope for what comes next, I have decided that it is time to close the doors of Floral Ambitions.

I will always be incredibly proud of what Floral Ambitions has been and the memories made along the way.

But for now, family, time and making the most of this precious life have to come first. 💔

Thank you for being part of my story. 🌸

A Little Update From Floral Ambitions 🌿

To everyone who has supported us, followed along, and wondered where we've been lately — thank you for your patience.

We've had to take some unexpected time away following some devastating personal news. During that time, our focus has been on family and navigating circumstances that understandably needed to come first.

We're not quite back to full speed yet, (you can still order online and call us )but your continued support, understanding, and kindness mean more than we can put into words.

Thank you for sticking with us. We look forward to creating beautiful florals for you once again, one step at a time.

With love,

Floral Ambitions 💐
