Wednesday's Story

It’s been a long time coming…

To share this flower and to launch floatingpetals.com. I’ve been saving this particular bloom for the launch of this beautiful new website and today is the day. I couldn’t be more excited, relieved and scared all at the same time! So, here is to new beginnings and sharing the beauty and power of a single flower…
