For the past several months, I’ve been dealing with an elbow injury that has unveiled underlying issues with my nerves and spine. This has affected the use of my dominant hand—a tool I rely on heavily—and will require permanent changes to how I work moving forward.

This isn’t the announcement I wanted to make, but sometimes life has other plans. I need to take some time off to rest and allow an injury to heal. Unfortunately, this means I won’t be able to release a Mother’s Day Collection this year. I know how much this collection means, and I’m honored that it has become an annual tradition for many of you! I am truly sorry that I won’t be able to make it happen.

After a slight change in plans, I’m happy to announce that my first fine art piece is currently available to view (or purchase!) at Quirk Gallery!
My piece, entitled A Compendium of Roses, is a part of a more extensive group exhibition called Roses are Red. It features works from artists in varied disciplines and media that incorporate plants, botanicals, flowers, and floral elements.

I'm both nervous and excited to open up seats for my very first workshop today. I had to get over some hangups—both logistically and mentally—before I was ready. But now that it's official I'm beyond excited to get started with this new phase for Paper Rose Co.

While technically I launched this site in September 2016, I consider 2017 my first official year in business. I had made a public outing (which I timidly setup some flowers alongside my other Blunt Objects products at a market last Christmas), but it wasn't until the start of the year that I started to develop my first collection of arrangements—just in time for Valentine's Day!

I love giving gifts! It's honestly one of my favorite things to do. I love coming up with the perfect idea or tracking down that perfect find, and nothing makes me happier than wrapping presents. (Of course—it's paper!)
For the past seven years, I've had some type of a product to sell this time of year. I'm grateful that I can make that statement—it's honestly all I've ever wanted to be able to do. To make things people want to buy and give each other as gifts.

I'm gearing up for my second pop-in at House of Floralie this Saturday, and it occurred to me that I never posted a recap of the first event we did together, or really, how it even came about! So what better time than now? I love this shop with all my heart, so if you can make it to the event this weekend, this will give you a little idea of what you can expect. (You know, minus the Easter flair!)

When Madewell approached me about doing an event in their store, I jumped at the opportunity! I didn't know much about their initiative to support local artists and businesses, but I sure did know about their clothing, their totes, and their accessories! Can anyone really have too many totes? I don't think so.

Yesterday's OTRMM Holiday Market was a huge success and since I've gotten lots of inquiries about whether or not any I have any holiday bundles left, I'm adding them to the shop. I'm also working on a handful of custom orders so if you're looking for a special gift, send me a note!
