Bedridden

Day two stuck in the exact same position. All I want to do is get some stuff done and go back to playing with flowers. Soon enough my friends. Until then, cheers to painkillers and trashy television.

Weekly Flowers For Local Friends

It is such a treat to get to deliver beautiful flowers every week to our friends at Shop Girls. It is amazing what you can do with a modest budget when a vase is borrowed from the shop.

Hand Painted Little Lamp of Mine!

Hello dear friends! Here is the first of many snippets of my little girly apartment. Everyday I am working on my little gem of a place and I plan on sharing every little bit of the way with you. 

New fave purchase shown above is my antique hand painted lamp.

If you could believe it, it was only $8.00 from my favorite little Sally Anne in Parkdale.   

Anna Banana & Apple Jack

We have adopted to little furry friends! Please welcome Anna Banana & Apple Jack to my lovely little flower shop Sweetpea's. We were initially told that Mrs. Banana was 7 years old... However, in fine print we read a weak later "1 year old" scribbled in by the vet. So much for getting two senior citizens... we got ourselves some kittens. Every morning we await their sweet little faces at the door, only to walk in on running sinks, broken vases, Orchids on the floor and one time Mrs. Banana even got stuck in between the 100 year old floor boards... don't ask how and don't worry we got her out and it will never happen again. Life is always an adventure at our quirky little petting zoo... i mean flower shop. Talk soon!

Nice to meet you to... New York Times

This year-old flower shop is a trove of hyper-local design. Hand-sewn quilts (150 dollars) come courtesy of the owner Sara Jameson's mother. And pretty lavender sachets (8 dollars) are made by Tellie Hunt, the tattooed rocker who works behind the counter.

Can you believe it?! I sure can't! Your little florist is mentioned in the New York Times this week! It just blows my mind to see my picture at the top of the page in one of the biggest newspapers in North America. Did I mention that it was released on my birthday! Thats what I call a roaring start to my twenties! Still kind of in shock. 

Other good news... I finally am all settled into my new quaint little apartment and have a computer again. Therefore, no more excuses I will once again be that avid blogger that I once was. I can`t wait to show you photos of my new diggs. It is probably the girliest apartment that could exist in this neck of the woods. In my opinion, any newly single gal should absolutely fill her apartment with all things pink and floral.
