Our Story!
Growing up as a competitive tap dancer in Norwich, Connecticut; I used to always take my recital bouquets and hang them to dry in my bedroom. My parents used to say,
“ What is with all the flowers Michelle? ” And, my response, “Because I love them!!!
Fast forward to college and I saw an ad for a local flower shop. I thought, well I could use the extra money and I do love to “play with flowers.” I literally started from the ground up! Sweeping, washing buckets, processing flowers, and delivering. Well, I quickly learned there is no playing. It’s hard work, and it’s well worth it. Anyone can take flowers and stick them in a vase. But, when you hire a seasoned floral designer you get their knowledge, experience and compasion for why we give and receive flowers.
There is nothing more rewarding than creating the last gift someone purchases for a loved one. Or, the bouquet the bride holds nervously walking down the aisle. I love meeting new people from all walks of life. Building lifetime connections with my customers makes my shop feel like my second home!
When my husband and I got married we knew our happily ever after would come when we started a family. We never imagined it would take 8 years and 3 rounds of IVF. We waited what seemed like forEVER and finally on Mother’s Day 2019 our miracle Everly Grace was born. It seemed like after 20 years in the floral industry it was now or never to start my own business! So, in the Fall of 2020 the plans for a unique floral and gift studio came to life. Little did I know I would be starting my business during a global pandemic.
"It hasn’t been an easy road to dance down these past few years, but it’s been well worth it."
My family will always be my # 1 priority. But, my flair for being unique and helping others during some of their biggest life moments, will always be my greatest reward!
