So, why am I blogging? Well, it is really a long story, but so as not to bore my newfound blog readers, I'll sum it up here: For a long time I was pursuing the purchase of a florist, then the economy in Michigan really tanked. After several amazing years in Chicago, I feel settled and happy and ready to move forward with what has long been a dream.
So, I blog. I hope that my blog will turn into something more. I've always seen myself with a little shop where I sell cool house plants and interesting floral arrangements (no leather leaf fern to be found), have classes in the evenings and hold events on the weekends.
I love plants and flowers. I took classes for a year in horticulture and they were the most enjoyable classes I have ever taken. I could go on and on about the proper way to prune a tree. I get excited when I find a new plant or even just a new color. After a few cocktails, I have been known to go on at length about the plants/flowers in various planters, sidewalk plantings, and gardens that we walk by. Some people (of course not my loving husband) may walk on a specific side of me so that I do not see said plantings and begin a long discussion that is of very little interest to anyone else.
It is an outlet as I sit in my windowless office and dream of fields of green and the smell of an acre of nemiesia (especially the white ones) first thing in the morning. I hope you enjoy it too!
