Quick update on Aster & Press and Wild Aster Floral 🌿📚

Our opening timeline has been delayed as additional repairs were discovered in the Maple Street building. What started as a few flooring concerns turned into larger projects that need to be completed before we can safely open.

We’re committed to doing this the right way and will open as soon as the work is finished and the necessary inspections are approved. Thank you for your patience and support — we can’t wait to welcome you into the space. 💜

We are starting store renovation this week 🥰
I love repurposing/ reusing when possible and am on the hunt for some gently used items to purchase for storage and display.
If you have any of these item, please let me know!
- Kitchen cabinets, ideally bases and would love some with drawers
- Tables of all shapes and sizes
- Air Conditioners (minimum 10,000 BTU)
- Unique shelving
- Workbenches
- Plant Stands
- Large commercial cooler - beverage or floral
- Kitchen Island / Cart on wheels

If you have anything else that you think would go well in a retail/ flower store setting, I'm open to all ideas!

Thank you
- Kaci

Introducing the new space for Aster & Press,
the soon to be home base for Wild Aster.
After some very needed work on the building (and a whole lot of paint), this little idea is slowly coming to fruition - and I wanted to share it the way it’s meant to feel: warm, a little imperfect, and rooted in community.
Aster & Press will be a blend of things I love - books, flowers, and thoughtfully made goods from local artists and makers. Somewhere you can wander, pick up a novel, grab a bouquet, and maybe discover something you didn’t know you needed.
There will be a small, donation-based coffee cart (because everyone deserves a good cup, no matter what), a few cozy spots to sit and work if you need a change of scenery, and space to create - journal, sketch, or just let your mind breathe for a bit.
More than anything, I want it to feel like a place you can exist in. Not rushed, not pressured - just welcome.
We’re not quite ready yet - but after a lot of work behind the scenes, Maple street in Friendsville will look a little different this summer!
Coming soon 💐📚 &press

Hi friends! 👋

I wanted to officially introduce myself. I’m Kaci, the owner and lead designer behind Wild Aster Floral. I have over a decade of hands-on flower experience, and flowers have been a part of my life on and off for many years.

My husband and I moved to Friendsville about two years ago and quickly fell in love with this town and the people here. One of our biggest goals is to help support and bring more small business and creativity into our community.

I especially love creating day to day arrangements for birthdays, or just because. I adore sympathy pieces, weddings, and event florals, and I’m currently focused on building a local portfolio. Many of my past shop designs were created while working in Oregon flower shops, so I’m excited to do some fresh, local work here in Friendsville.

If you know of any available or upcoming retail spaces in town — or even just have leads or referrals — I’d truly appreciate it. Our dream is to open a small retail floral spot here in town soon.

Thank you so much for the warm welcome and support — it means more than you know 🌿💐
