Win the Stunning New Book Eternize + a Gorgeous Flower Print of your Choice
I walked past a florist in Fitzroy last week and declared that I’d missed my calling; that in some other life, I would happily spend my days working as a florist.
Getting up at 5am to hit the flower markets... wrapping roses and get pricked by the thorns. OK, so I came to the realisation that I couldn’t work in a florist, but I’m utterly obsessed by flowers and I’m completely smitten with people who dedicate their lives to making them look so amazing.
Vintage Enchantment: Inside the amazing Seasonal Concepts in Redfern

A Flower Phenomenon at Garlands Florist, Surry Hills
I really am a bad Sydney-sider. I continue to write blog posts that start with a "I can't believe this place has been under my nose the entire time" type vibe.

It was the start of a blossoming romance!
