Oak leaf hydrangeas are already blooming. These are beautiful blooms to hang and dry for dried floral arrangements and home decoration. You may be tempted to cut them now, but these do best if you let them dry on the stem. Cut them directly from the bush in September/October and arrange them with wheat or grasses for natural bouquets and arrangements.

Remember to take some time to slow down and enjoy this Summer!

Don't you love fresh cut flowers from the Farmers Market?
I confess that I can't pass them by when I see a small flower grow business at a market.
Remember-some growers "treat" the flowers in a preservative solution and some do not. It's always good to ask if you don't know.
Here are a few of my favorite tips to keep your flowers fresh.

When you go on a road trip, do you follow the signs?
When they're as cute as this, I sure do and that's how I found the COOLEST place! Check out my story to see more of my visit to Groovy Plants Ranch.

Drama✅ Elegance ✅ Exotic ✅ Easy ✅
YES, easy!
I can add them to flower arrangements or design ALL ORCHID bouquets. They are also wonderful to send as living plants, like the one you see here. They require very little attention to grow and keep blooming. If you need some tips, just ask!

Super excited to work on a new window display! I wonder what pieces I’ll pull in from the shop... might sneak upstairs to the Bella Villa Antiques & Vintage Rentals collection... Maybe I can use this Italian rooster? I’ve got farm decor on my brain since we just ‘launched’ our little on this past week. Then again, maybe I need this little rooster to go with the big one I already have there?? Ugh... Why must I be a squirrel?! Nope - this rooster stays here til someone else takes him home! It’s perfect Spring & Easter decor, along with that little bunny!
Thank you all for supporting and helping me to not buy everything that comes into the shop. 😂 We have an awesome group of vendors who do a great job bringing in a variety of decor, gifts, art, jewelry and vintage stuff! Check out and follow all our vendors:
Saylavi Designs Arys + Co .o.facts Gathered Stems Royal Bungaleaux Cube Minerals, LLC Roxan Waluk Highland Home and Garden LLC.. and several more who don’t do social media.
A friendly reminder: Valentines Day is on Sunday. THIS SUNDAY.
Not sure what to get? Flowers. Or something more sparkly but you really can't go wrong with flowers!
I recommend Gathered Stems which has been based in for many years and now has a cute little shop on Main Street in . Seriously, give them a call and place your order NOW!
Valentine's Day is so close. And there is no better way to celebrate your love than with flowers. Spring is also very close. So consider them a harbinger of good times to come.

In Fairfax try Farida Floral and Gathered Stems.

Flushing It Out is exploring the hidden gems in and around the Northern Virginia area!

Connection is the key to life and what better way to connect than by making memories in and around your local area. As the Introvert’s Extrovert, I talk to people so you don’t have to….for now. The “Flushing It Out” podcast started as a way for me to share the conversations that help peel back the layers and uncover the ways we are all connected to help inspire people to have their own conversations.

I’m now taking those conversations on the road, talking to people to find hidden gems that people can get out to explore and still maintain their social distancing. Join me as I discover places to safely explore; everything from restaurants, shops, lodging, wineries, and more. You can see how businesses are adapting and make some new connections along the way.

Are you Down To Flush?

Join me as we begin to Flush Out Northern Virginia!

Be sure and Like and Share the Flushing It Out with Samantha Spittle page and Instagram page to keep up with all of our adventures.
