A life well lived leaves behind a beautiful bouquet of memories 🦋

To our customers who are absolutely amazing, keep being kind and amazing 🦋 YOU are the hope in a very dark world.

Now, it’s been brought to my attention.. yet again.. that some people thoroughly enjoy giving small businesses a hard time. For what? Does it boost your ego? Make your day better? Possibly get something for free? Because the last time I checked, it does nothing but tell us the type of person you are okay with being to others. I am THANKFUL for our customers who are dedicated to being a pleasure to do service for, but to those who call or come in looking for something for free or to give a small business a hard time, SHAME ON YOU. I am so incredibly tired of feeling the need to make this same post to ✨grown ups✨. If your kids watch your actions, this is one of the times I hope they don’t follow in your footsteps. It has to stop. If you want to laugh in our face about a delivery fee, I will gladly provide the bills showing the expenses just to move the van. If you don’t like the flowers you were provided with the budget you provided us to work with, I will again gladly provide the overall bill I had to front for everything that went into your arrangement. I will be transparent about how much time, money and dedication it takes to operate a business.

Small businesses are constantly closing their doors for multiple reasons, and being worn out and burned out from how people treat them is so sad. It’s becoming a day in, day out occurrence. If it doesn’t change, you’re only going to have retail stores who don’t care a single thing about your budget, you, your family, the circumstance, etc. Small businesses are the heart of trying to keep things personal. My maternity leave has not been maternity leave simply due to the fact of having to guide and direct on how to deal with rude customers, going above and beyond to try to make sure things are in order and my customers are provided for, only to be faced with people being upset about hours, pricing, and whatever else they could find to be upset about. Before the Karen’s come out of the woodworks, yes it is my business to take care of, but it’s also my priority to be present for my husband and daughter. What a slap in the face to be so dedicated to a business and customers, to not have the same thing reciprocated by so many during a time that goes by in the blink of an eye. So if you’re one of the customers who look to give businesses a hard time, 1: don’t call or go in to make their job harder, 2: do whatever it is you’re asking for on your own (I’m sure there’s a YouTube video or something), 3: realize how much it cost for you to live and don’t expect others to bow down to you because we also have bills to pay and our service to you isn’t free because it isn’t free to us.

Jesus had a ton of patience, which is not something He blessed me with an abundance of. But, just as a reminder, He also flipped tables. Don’t make strangers who are providing a service for you feel the need to flip tables.

We will be closed Monday, May 25, 2026 in observance of Memorial Day 🇺🇸

What an honor to remember those who chose to put others before themselves and make a sacrifice that most of us can’t imagine making ❤️🤍💙

Mother’s Day is very quickly approaching 🌸

The shop is open Friday from 8:30-2 and Saturday from 8-12!

Saturday will consist of grab and gos only for last minute shopping 💗 if you have already placed an order for delivery, those will still go out Saturday!

We appreciate each of you who have thought about us when it comes to honoring that special mom in your life! 🌷

It’s almost baby time 🌸

With that being said, below is a calendar for the remainder of April and for the month of May showing the hours and days the shop will be functioning. We are BLESSED to have two people willing to sacrifice their time and energy to keep things running while keeping their full time jobs and prior commitments. There will be bumps and hiccups along the way, but we ask for your understanding and most importantly your courtesy. Orders will be taken as they are able and based on availability. This may not be ideal to some, but I have put a lot of thought and planning into keeping the shop open for everyone, so I ask that you show grace towards them while I’m away (remember, Jesus is always watching 😉)

With this being said, please please do not reach out via Facebook messenger or email because I will not respond and the shop phone does not have the capability. Calling is ALWAYS the most appropriate option.

As always, we appreciate your prayers as always along with your continued support! Be sure to share here on Facebook along with word of mouth so no one is left unaware💗

Just updating for the remainder of the week!

We will see you guys tomorrow from 9-5 and Friday 8:30-2. We will be closed Saturday to spend quality time with family out of town and will return Monday from 8:30-2 🌼

April 18th will be our last Saturday open for an indefinite period of time. We understand this may cause some inconveniences, however, this is a decision made in the best interest of our growing family 🌸

As previously stated, we will keep everyone updated on what our hours will look like going forward and we ask that you guys bare with us as this is also new and a journey for us as well 💛

Thank you for your patience and understanding 💗

Happy Friday ☀️

Long post ahead, but one I need to make regarding the upcoming months. PLEASE share so that no one is left surprised or in the dark!

Baby girl will be here the end of April or beginning of May. Obviously, we’re praying for God’s will to be done and that she stays put as long as she needs to so that she can be healthy 💗 as our appointments progress we will find out more, but ultimately she’s going to make her arrival when she’s ready!

With that being said, I’ve poured my heart out (along with many others who have GREATLY contributed) into the flower shop since the end of 2022. Its had many trials, and still does, but it touches many hearts and continues to bless so many. What I have noticed here recently is the mentality of “I want this, but I don’t want to pay that much” or “I need this, this and this, but I need it delivered today because I forgot”. I am here to serve you, but if I negotiate prices I might as well close shop. Despite what most think, wholesale is still expensive for me and prices continue to increase. You’re also paying for my time and my skills. You should all know by now that nothing is free and EVERYTHING is expensive. I also have bills to pay here along with bills at home. I own and operate this solely by myself more often than I don’t. I go above and beyond to make sure my customers are satisfied, but here lately the instant gratification that people crave is “disrupted” when I can’t drop what I’m doing to meet those demands. To be completely truthful, it’s worn me out and made me bitter.

But on the other side of that, it’s made me realize now is the time I need to ask you all to do something for me. Please be patient, please be merciful, and please don’t make me feel like I don’t deserve to take this time to spend it with my daughter and husband. To some that sounds like a ridiculous request, but the amount of guilt trip instances I’ve received has made that statement necessary. Customers have gotten upset because I adjusted hours, because I can’t meet their unrealistic budget/expectations, and because I haven’t been at their beaconing call. While I truly appreciate your business and that you want to support me, I’m only human and as mentioned, I’m only me.

In the midst of everything, my mind has been all over the place because we’re in the prime time for decoration flowers and Mother’s Day 🌸 I want to accommodate EVERYONE to the best of my ability, but there will come a point in April that I have to say no. I can not take on more than I can get out. So please please please DO NOT wait to place your orders. Call now or in the next few weeks, otherwise I will have pre-mades available but nothing will be customized. As far as Mother’s Day goes, baby girl will either already be here or she will be making her arrival that week. With that being said, I will update closer to time what that week will look like. The next few months are going to look chaotic, but as a small business, I can’t operate like corporations and I have to take care of me (and our child). It doesn’t mean I don’t care about my customers, because if I didn’t I wouldn’t bother making this post 🫶🏼 but I do, so I want to be as transparent as possible while still keeping my life private.

I post updates and hour/day changes here along with Google and there’s ALWAYS a sign on the door (it just takes you a split second to stop and read it ☺️) Once she is here I can provide a better look at what our hours of operation will look like and there will be a calendar pinned on Facebook and one posted on the door as well. I’m humbly and graciously asking that you bear with us over the next few months as we completely rearrange our lives in the best way possible. If you have anything negative to say, please do not say it to me because at this point I may cry, or I may very sternly but politely ask you to leave 💛 only the Lord knows ahead of time what that outcome might be!

As always, I can’t express how much I appreciate our customers who understand and still continue to support us here. We want to be around for as long as we can, but it takes a community, not just me.

Thank you ☀️
