Flourish & Adorn

May the 4th be with you! Happy weekend everyone!!

It's not very often I get to design arrangements for myself anymore. And that's not a bad thing! It truly warms my heart knowing that arrangements I've made are being enjoyed by others in their homes, in their workplaces, or at their events. It's why I became a florist in the first place. I wanted play a part in brightening people's days and to be a messenger of joy and happiness. But sometimes I forget about how happy flowers make me feel, how I love being able to take my ti...me to enjoy the process of designing, and how much I enjoy having them in my own home! . I had two leftover bouquets from last Saturday's Easter market. Honestly, these bouquets were supposed to go to family, but I forgot to take them with me on my way out the door on Sunday. I couldn't bear the thought of them going to waste, so I decided to get some practice in and make something for me. . It's probably been over six months now that I commissioned a couple of pieces from our talented friend @heartfelt.handmade.by.lindsay, with the intention of having them be "my bowls" -- my very own vessels to keep and to use when designing pieces for myself. I hadn't had the opportunity to use them up until last night. To say I was excited is nothing short of an understatement! . It took me over an hour to make this last night, and probably another hour or two this morning just tweaking and finessing. I could have probably gone on doing this all day. Do I have this kind of time to spare? Frankly, I don't. It's been so incredibly busy as of late (hence the quiet on social media these past few weeks). But I made the time. I had to. For me. To remind myself how much it is I am grateful for and love what I do. And to nurture my own creativity. . Is it perfect? Far from it. There are many aspects I can and will continue to nitpick as things I'd love to change about it. But that's another lesson for me through all of this: to be less critical of myself and my abilities, and more accepting of the beautiful things that I can create. . Happy Tuesday, friends! And here's to a great week ahead! See more
