A Christmas Class

Today I was joined by a lively group of women  - we ate scones, filled the room with laughter and made some beautiful centerpieces. Each unique and reflecting the maker.  We used camellia foliage (with buds!) juniper and mint for our greenery, gorgeous heart roses, red spray roses, white ranunculus and a sweeping spray of James Storie Orchids. These arrangements turned out lush and so fragrant.  

Last night I finished all my prep for the class and took a few little bits to make a fun and festive wreath/crown - perhaps my favorite one ever!

I'm so looking forward to a 2018 and a new round of classes - who's in?? Here are a few pictures from our morning over scones and coffee at The Union at the Montgomery. 

The women I've met through flowers this year are a treasure and I am so thankful for each one. Their enthusiasm and joy in flowers is so good for my heart and I can't wait to meet more of you in 2018. Love flowers? Want more in your life? Let's connect.

2017 - A thank you

Three years ago this December I made the best decision ever - to move to Wyoming and marry a handsome man I met on an airplane. At the time I wasn't sure what would happen to my flower dream and Whirly Girl Flowers but I was willing to risk it all for love.

Last December, after a few big life changes (moving from Boston, getting married, buying a house, having a baby) I decided it was time to take the leap and introduce my love of flowers to Sheridan, WY and see what was possible. 2017 has blown me away and exceeded all of my hopes and dreams. It wouldn't have been possible without you!

I started with a series of Pop-up shops at Twisted Hearts on Main St. These monthly events gave me the opportunity to share my favorite flowers (hello roses and ranunculus!) while meeting lots of new flower friends. Pam has been an incredible encouragement this year and gave me a beautiful space to meet all of you! She's always willing to listen to my ideas and cheer me along as I reach for my dreams. She gave the best introduction I could have asked for in Sheridan, WY.  Did you stop by, say hello and pickup flowers? I am so thankful you did!

To my 2017 brides - you trusted me with a little piece of your wedding day and I'm so grateful for you. I loved meeting you, listening to your plans and creating something to accompany you on your big day. The best part of my job is handing a bride her bouquet and watching  her face light up with joy. The very first bride to book Whirly Girl this year is getting married in just a few weeks and I can't wait!

In a year of meeting new people and trying new things I launched a series of classes this November. Without a public space of my own I'm thankful for the partnerships I've built with local business and the opportunity to use great spaces at The Union at the Montgomery and Luminous Brew House for causal gatherings with friends and loads of flowers while we create arrangements.  Interested in hosting a flower party? I'd love to plan one with you. 

I'm looking forward to 2018 with big dreams; plans to learn more, create more beauty and build a community in Sheridan around flowers. If you're planning a wedding or a party or simply want to learn more about flowers- I can't wait to meet you.

Thanksgiving - a recap & Christmas class!

In November I hosted the first ever Whirly Girl Centerpiece class at The Union at the Montgomery here in Sheridan, WY. An incredible group of women came for the evening, shared lots of laughs, a glass of wine and created lovely arrangements to take home. While they all started with the same base ingredients, each one was completely unique and beautiful. 

Thinking back on my journey into flowers and this life full of beautiful blooms - I realized that the sharing and giving of flowers is a large part of why I'm here. The joy on someone's face when you hand them something beautiful or unexpected brings a spark to life. Whether it's a single perfect stem or a grand bouquet packed with flowers - there's a little bit of flower magic there and I want more of it in my life. 

I'll be hosting a special Christmas centerpiece  class over brunch on Saturday, December 23rd and I hope you'll join me. We'll make a festive arrangement and enjoy some of my famous scones while we work. Bring a friend or family member. Maybe you'll buy the class as an early gift for someone who prefers an experience and loves flowers. Sign up here. Class size is limited and registration closes on December 15th. I hope to see you there!

Interested in a private class with friends or co-workers? I'd love to chat with you. Use the connect page to start a conversation.
