The final hurrah🎉 and a heartfelt thank you❤️
All last-market-of-the-season leftovers are out this morning...so many beautiful dahlias to enjoy in the final days of the growing season! Fresh flowers are already price reduced. I will harvest one last time this afternoon for a few more bunches and arrangements tomorrow (Wednesday), but then this tired part-time flower farmer florist is done with fresh flowers for 2026! There will be more opportunities to grab pretty pumpkins and a few other dried flower creations in the near future so stayed tuned for that 😊
Thank you so much to my faithful flower friends for another great season! It was challenging in so many ways, but you showed up to make the effort worth it 💪 There is no easy money in flower farming, and I certainly don't do it because the profits are sizeable. But I wanted to share a very sincere thank you for supporting a local crazy flower lady with your purchases. This little bit of extra income has given me the opportunity to indulge in another of my favorite things: traveling. As a college senior 32 years ago (back when travelers cheques were still a thing!) I boarded a plane for the first time to fly across the ocean and spent a semester studying in and exploring London (last picture is of 21-year-old me with one of the lions in Trafalgar Square 🦁). I am going back for the first time since then and taking my daughters with me 💕 We leave tomorrow evening, and I am so very, very excited! So thank you for making that possible with your continued purchases of these beautiful flowers.
Pretty pumpkins won't be back on the porch until the middle of next week as I will be a little preoccupied 😉 ✈️🧳 Have a fantastic week!
