In March when the world was turning upside-down, I

In March when the world was turning upside-down, I thought about just skipping the flower business this year and growing veggies for my family. But by then I already had flower seeds and seedlings and plans, so I decided to go ahead and grow lots of flowers, figuring people would need the beauty and cheer. It turned out that I wasn’t wrong. I’m so thankful for this small community of loyal followers and the encouragement and feedback you all give. I’m already looking forward to all the new flowers I want to grow in the coming year!

Ordering closes at 5 pm for @5loavesfarm Christmas

Ordering closes at 5 pm for @5loavesfarm Christmas market! Just a few mini-wreath kits and colorful dried flower bouquets left. Check out the link in my bio to order. While you’re at it grab some donuts and other farm products to #treatyoself! Pick up is on Saturday.

Every November I suddenly drop off Instagram for awhile. With the end of the fresh flowers comes the end of a frenzied season where nothing can wait because seedlings WILL die or flowers will FADE and everything must be done RIGHT NOW. Each year I strive to find the balance of mothering, homeschooling, and running this little business and each year I make progress in some areas while failing terribly in others. So this year I am not doing Christmas wreaths in an effort to be present with my family. (I haven’t even made a wreath for myself yet! 🤣)These pics are some of the joyful times (baking, sewing, hiking) we’ve shared amid many challenging times (as I’m sure you all are having) —Zoom hangouts that we wish were in person, hard conversations with family and friends about Covid and how to be to safe in these times, holiday meals that felt a little lonely and small. But still we are healthy and thankful! All of that was to say- that’s where I’ve been, and I hope you all are well! Oh- and the whole reason I got on here was to let you know I have a few mini-wreath kits and dried bouquets left. AND a few dried flower petal ornament kits! They are for sale through @5loavesfarm Christmas Market, and all profits go to support their work in sustainable agriculture for our community. Check out the link in my bio to order the last of the dried flowers and see what other goodies you can get.

How did I not realize before that mums have an amazing smell? It’s more the foliage than the flowers- anyone else ever notice this? I can’t believe I’m lucky enough to still be harvesting these. Got to hold onto every little bit of beauty this year.

Mini-wreath kits are packed up and ready to go! You can order them through the @5loavesfarm website! Check out the link in my bio to find the wreath kits, dried bouquets, and many other locally grown goodies you can order from their Celebrate the Harvest fundraiser!

Mini-wreath kits going out today. 🍁☺️These are the trial ones, but by next week I should have the proper size of boxes and they will be available for purchase! I’ve missed teaching classes this year but this seemed like a safe way to offer opportunities to be creative in these times. The kit has all the pieces you need to make your own mini-wreath, as well as a picture tutorial. I think they’d make a great activity to do with family over the holiday or you could purchase them as gifts! Right now I’m thinking to have three color options: summery mix (pink, purple, yellow,etc...) , autumn (red orange, golds) or Christmas (red, white, green, etc...).

Flash sale! (Reposting because these flowers deserve better photos than I took last night.) Enjoy the last of the fall flowers with one of these autumnal bouquets. The mums and ornamental kale have a great vase life so these should last awhile! $15 on the porch! Message me to claim one.

First year growing mums as cut flowers (not the same as the kinds you buy in pots for fall decorations). Probably the last? I guess you need a greenhouse to really grow these on a large scale because they don’t bloom until so late in the fall. 😞. It’s a bummer because they’re gorgeous and have an incredible vase life. But it was a fun experiment and maybe if I ever get a greenhouse I’ll try them again!

All these wreaths and more will be for sale tomorr

All these wreaths and more will be for sale tomorrow evening @5loavesfarm from 4-7 pm! I’m even putting a sale on-all will be reduced prices just for tomorrow evening. Come pick up some dried beauties to bring you cheer through the winter months.

Pods, seeds and wild things: each year I learn more about foraging and gathering things at the right time. A difference of a week can affect whether pods shatter, seeds drop, or things dry green or brown. Apparently these milkweed should’ve been a little earlier because they popped open as they dried and I was chasing the silky seeds around my dining room last night. It reminded me of when I used to pull apart the milkweed as I walked in the lane home from school. Did anyone else love to play with the silks?

Also, this seeds, pods, and ‘wild things’ wreath is sold. @nicoleffe 🙌🏼

These 4 inch mini-wreaths are my new obsession- I think they make beautiful little accents for gift wrapping and could hang just about anywhere. I’ll have them for sale, along with larger floral wreaths at @5loavesfarm this Thursday evening from 4-7pm. Or message me if you’d like to order some, $10 a piece or 4 for $35. I’m willing to ship (minimum order of $35) so message me if your interested and I’ll figure out what it would cost!

The flowers in this wreath are fine, but the grass

The flowers in this wreath are fine, but the grasses and wild seeds really are my favorite part of this wreath. Sea oats have a sort of magical, bouncy whimsy to them and the dark purple grasses and bright green circular seed heads on the cress just amaze me. Roughly 18 in. diameter, $45. comment below to claim and pay via PayPal, Venmo, or cash or check. I’ll pm you pick-up details. ⚔️🍁🌾🍂
