Why do your frames cost that much?
This is a blog and topic I’ve thought about and have been piecing together for years. The original draft of this was on my notes app in 2019. Everytime I sit down to collect my thoughts I wind up writing a few sentences, or just jotting down a line or two. And now I’m here to fully talk through it all, condense all those thoughts, express why my products cost what they do, what goes into it, and why it’s so important to me! At first glance my business seems like a lot of pressed flowers, which it is, but there’s so much more that goes into it. I personally believe that peeling back the curtain on this topic is so important. I want my customers to trust me and understand where their money is going, understand the supply chain of Framed Florals, and help them decide if they’d like to invest in one of my pieces! Investment in the knowledge that it’s more than just art, it’s a story, it’s an investment in me, and so much more than just flowers.

Framed Florals Reads // Spring 2021
“I came for the flowers and stayed for the books” was the ultimate compliment received in my DM’s this season. I genuinely love reading, it’s been my #1 hobby since I was a kid so I’m always happy to share that with you all too! A new season, same concept of a book round up! At the end of 2020 I rounded up my favorite books I read through the year, and narrowing down 45 books was hard! So this year I’m doing a seasonal recap of everything I read! I hope it inspires you to pick up a new book, revisit a book you love, or just continue growing your “to be read” list! (Mine is currently out of control but I’m slowly chipping away at it!) This spring season I read 15 books, and I’m going to share them with you now!

Maybe it’s because I’m SO ready for it to be springtime, or maybe it’s because I have so many rad moms, mother figures, and strong women in my life that I want to celebrate them, or maybe it’s because this list is also full of so many things I want for myself… or ALL of the above?! I’ve compiled a list of some sweet and special gift ideas featuring some rad small businesses I’m honored to know and love.
