This is an oldie but goodie π Story Time!
I saw this video where a florist used flower stems to create an elevated floral piece like this one so I decided to try it. What better time than for Mother's Day this year?! You will notice that, after all of the promo for Mother's Day Arrangements, I never posted any photos of the final products. Why? Because I accidentally deleted ALLLLLLL of the content I recorded and photographed while prepping orders. Needless to say, it was devastating. You would think it's because I lost all the content of the beautiful arrangements but the truth is, all of that sadness was for this one piece. This was my first try at it and I was so proud. Naturally, I had loads of flower scraps at the end of the day so I decided to use what I had. This arrangement includes virtually EVERY bloom I used for Mother's Day. It was my own little flower garden, a reminder of all the work I had done and, all the happy mom's who received the arrangements. So when I learned that my photos of it were gone, I was π ... Until today when I mentioned it in passing to my friend and she pulled it up on her phone β€οΈβπ₯ I forgot I had shared the photo with a small group of friends!!! Those who know me personally know many of the challenges and losses I've experienced in the last year so losing this photo felt in keeping with this frustrating trend of taking L's. However, today was such a victory and a reminder that all is not lost. Thank you to everyone who has supported me thus far and those who keep me encouraged. You're more valuable than you know! Like this photo, I treasure you for always reminding me that my dreams are being realized DAILY, even if it doesn't seem that way in the moment. If you've actually read this far, GOOD FOR YOU! Hope it wasn't too long-winded π
