About

Kara here- thank you for visiting my site!

I have been designing with faux florals for over 20 years and they come along way! Today’s artificial flowers have a heightened level of sophistication with their bloom memory wire, natural looking dyes and most importantly a lifelike presentation. It is scientifically proven that flowers (real and faux) can boost our serotonin levels which increases our happiness and decreases our stress.

For years I designed floral arrangements and wreaths as my creative outlet and gift them to friends and family. In 2018 I posted some designs online when a friend responded “why don’t you sell these on Etsy?” That one comment was a catalyst for opening an Etsy shop in 2018. I ran my Etsy shop as a “side hustle” for years but trying to strike a healthy work/life balance seemed unattainable. In the fall of 2021 I went all in on me- I quit my full time job. I exited from a 20 year career in HR, working with people I love and all the security that comes along with it. I built a formal workshop in my home and began the pursuit of my full-time freedom!

Running a small business is filled with challenges and successes. Not everyday is a win but you have to keep pushing and fighting to do what you love. I feel fortunate to be able to pursue my dreams and I am here to cheer on others who are out there grinding to do the same.

Thank you again for visiting my site and for supporting my small biz dreams!
