There’s something different about giving a gift you made with your own hands. A homemade botanical gift isn’t just an object it carries your time and creativity with it.
In a culture built around buying more, faster, and more often, botanical crafting offers a small way to push back. Instead of reaching for another mass-produced item, we can slow down, work with natural materials, and create something thoughtful that feels personal.
**Making something by hand reminds us that a meaningful gift doesn't have to come from a store.**
This fall and winter, I'm hosting two botanical crafting workshops at your favorite coffee places!
🌿 October 17 Floral Pumpkins at Willow and Fern
A laid-back workshop where we'll decorate with botanicals and make something beautiful to enjoy as decor
🌿 **December 11 Holiday Botanical Bookmarks at at 7am Somewhere
A festive opportunity to slow down, work with natural materials, and create something heartfelt for your favorite bookworm.
If you're looking for a more intentional way to create, gift, and celebrate the seasons, I'd love to have you join me!!
