Some flowers carry more than beauty.
Some carry memories, stories, and the feeling of home.

This week we had the honour of creating these casket flowers for our beautiful grandmother, Marie. A woman who adored her garden, treasured Australian natives, and always had roses blooming nearby.

To make this tribute even more special, many of the natives and foliage were lovingly gathered from places that meant something to her . We took the kids to her house and cut from her own garden, donated from our parents’ home, and foraged from around our own homes too. Every stem felt personal. Every flower held meaning.

Designed with so much love by our head florist Leisa, while gently guiding Marie's granddaughter and our trainee Mel through the process, this piece became more than flowers. It became a final gift from family.

A reflection of Marie’s warmth, creativity, and deep connection to nature.

Grandma, we hope your garden is forever blooming. 🌿🤍

A letter to myself trend.. thanks Chat GPT for making me cry 🥹🌷

Dear Me,

Look at what you’ve carried.
Not just the business, the flowers, the orders, the pressure, the expectations… but motherhood too. New life in your arms while trying to grow a life you dreamed of for yourself. That’s not small. That’s extraordinary.

There were moments you doubted yourself. Moments you felt exhausted, stretched thin, unsure if you were doing enough in either role. But somehow, even in the chaos, you kept showing up. You kept creating beauty for other people while quietly learning how to hold yourself together too.

You took over a business in an industry you hadn’t worked in before and instead of shrinking under the weight of it, you grew into it. You trusted your instincts. You cared deeply. You built something people can feel the second they walk through the door. That warmth, that heart, that attention to detail — that’s you woven through every part of Thistle & Fern.

And even when you felt overwhelmed, you still chose kindness. You still chose creativity. You still chose to keep going.

I hope you remember this:
You do not need to have everything figured out to be successful.
You do not need to do everything perfectly to be worthy.
And you do not need to constantly prove yourself to deserve the life you’re building.

The flowers will sell.
The hard weeks will pass.
The confidence will grow.
And one day, the things that feel heavy now will become the stories you tell with pride.

Your children will remember a mother who was brave enough to try.
Your customers will remember how you made them feel.
And you will look back and realise you built all of this during a season of life where simply surviving would have been enough.

Be proud of the quiet strength you carry.
Be proud of the risks you took.
Be proud that you kept going when it would’ve been easier to stop.

You are building more than a business.
You are building a life filled with meaning, creativity, connection, and love.

And honestly?
You’re doing far better than you think you are.

Love,
Me 🌿
