Good morning from 🇨🇦 the full moon was shining as 🐾 and I were up late getting everything set up for the first day of our fall 🍂 open house. Finally! With all the setbacks and delays I still don’t feel 100% ready but when do you ever with anything. Sometimes you just have to go with the flow and hope for the best! The studio will be open today Friday September 25th & Saturday the 26th 11-4pm 208 Browning Blvd enter through the gate on Shelly street as we are a corner lot. See you there! 🇨🇦

Good morning from 🇨🇦 making my way through each planter change creating an individual look that welcomes clients home 🍂 these two different looks are inspired using materials that will be in stock at the open house this weekend. They show how fall mums and pumpkins can be arranged with similar style but different color palette. Stop by Friday September 25th or Saturday the 26th between 11-4pm to pick your own style and color. Message if you want me to set aside a mum color for you! See you on the weekend! 🇨🇦

Good morning from 🇨🇦 it’s a bittersweet time of year when your planters are still thriving but you want to have mums and pumpkins too! I say mix em in and embrace the beautiful colors that fall brings to us here in winnipeg. Just a friendly reminder that the open house is September 25 & 26th for fall and I will have fresh mums and pumpkins locally grown available for you to create your own front door story! Thank you all for your patience with me as I navigate this season with so much on my plate! Family comes first with client projects in between 💛 the community support I have received is beyond my expectations and I am so grateful for it all. We will get there and it will all work out in the end. Off to the pumpkin farm next so I’m ready for next weekend! Happy Friday 🍂 🇨🇦

Good morning from 🇨🇦 wanted to share something special that is close to my heart as I have put so much into this property with design of the gardens from the beginning and working with my dearest client which has been a dream come true. They are having a wedding in on the property so I had to make it extra special with a scattering of white mums throughout the gardens and in the planters that will be lit with fairy lights for evening time. This year has been a challenge for the business as it ran before but sometimes you have to move out of your comfort zone and accept change. I love the energy of wedding set ups in personal spaces bringing big scale plants to accent in a way that is not fussy but magical ✨ Having a wedding or event at home is always special, I hope to explore this a little more as I venture into promoting this part of my work. Possibly garden design 🤔 anyways, this is my morning thoughts for you as I overshare. Have a great day exploring your world and finding inspiration for what makes you feel special. 🇨🇦 ❤️

Good morning from 🇨🇦 I am so grateful for the extra help I am getting this season with all the setbacks. I have been slowly making my way through the season. Thank you for all the support I have received, it’s appreciated more than words can say. I have some amazing clients who are patiently waiting for fall changes now that the weather has been cooler. This was one we created yesterday and I had to share! I’m in love with this home and color palette 🍂 hope this inspires you this season. Just a reminder the open house has been moved to September 25 & 26th and I will have lots of beautiful mums locally grown in stock. I apologize for the inconvenience this may cause. Happy fall 🧡 🇨🇦

Good morning from 🇨🇦 I have been working non stop to get mums planted for my planter clients, picking up pumpkins and making wreaths! We have been experiencing some set backs with the work I need to get done so I’m going to have to postpone my open house again for fall. I will have more help the following week and fresh mums for the September 25 & 26th and everything set up to inspire! I apologize for the changes again but I have to prioritize my health and the work I have scheduled. I appreciate your patience with these changes this season. If you want to pre order anything give me a shout and I will do my best to accommodate. I haven’t updated my website yet so feel free to ask if there is something not available at the moment. Happy a great Sunday! Looks like sweater weather has arrived 🍂 🇨🇦

Good morning from 🇨🇦 mums arrived and are looking gorgeous for next weekends open house for fall planter changes. This is our first shipment and more arriving each week. If you need a little pop of color for your front door come by Friday or Saturday between 11-4pm and we will set you up! Pumpkins are being picked up Wednesday so we will have lots to choose from. The shop is in a bit of a renovation state so we have our work cut out for us this fall along with all our planter clients who we maintain planters for. Always exciting to bring a fresh look! These mums survived that wind last night and got a good watering so all is good over here! Hope everyone is safe a sound today and clean up goes well. Crazy weather! 🇨🇦
