Through candid conversations, they share their journeys, lessons learned, and the moments that shaped them—because every woman deserves her flowers, and we’re here to give them.

Page Turner of the Month

Each month, we dive into a new read, but this isn’t your typical book club. No strict rules, no pressure—just good books, great conversation, and a space to read at your own pace. Jump in anytime and join the discussion over on Fable!

At the end of each month, I’ll bring the book to life through a custom floral arrangement, inspired by its themes, mood, and aesthetic. While we won’t have regular meet-ups, stay tuned for special floral workshops where we can arrange blooms together and get into deeper discussions.
