✨ Growth isn’t always dramatic. It doesn’t always look like big announcements or overnight change. Sometimes it’s just choosing hope when it would be easier to give up to despair. Sometimes it’s believing in yourself just a little more than you did yesterday. Sometimes it’s simply not giving up. Even if this growth was invisible, it doesn’t mean it wasn’t powerful.

✨ This time of the year signals the transition from winter into spring. There is a buzz in the air that fills you with energy. Each day feels lighter. Tomorrow feels full of possibility. Be brave, clear mental space; declutter all of your doubts, negativity, and self-criticism. Maybe try something new, say yes to new opportunities that come your way, and trust that good things are abundant and you deserve all of them.

✨ Let yourself feel excited about what’s ahead. Let yourself imagine more. You don’t have to rush the process — just keep turning towards the light.

✨ You’ve done the thinking, worrying & fearfulness. Now it’s time to bloom — with positivity, with courage, and with joy. 🌿🌷

✨ The Coral Blush basket has a lush, vintage feel to it. Think warm, romantic nights in an English rose garden at dusk.

✨ A brown wicker trug basket forms the base, and it’s overflowing with over 50 individual flower heads in pink and cream with additional green foliage to complement. Warm coral-pink blooms of layered dahlias and roses are mixed with creamy white flowers, generously arranged to give it a full, abundant look.

✨ Fresh green foliage spills out around the edges, with feathery fern-like leaves and sprigs of eucalyptus that soften the shape and add movement. There are also tiny white berry-like details and dusky pink filler flowers woven through, which give it texture and a slightly wild, natural feel.

✨ The colour palette is warm and uplifting, perfect for spring or summer, and it has that cosy, cottage-core charm that would look beautiful on a door, wall, or as a statement centrepiece. It would also make a unique Valentine’s statement differing from the more typical floral decor this time of year. It’s perfect if you want a romantic vintage charm.

✨In my other walk of life, my job can be very busy & stressful. I am definitely not a stranger to burnout. Spending time just replenishing and focusing on my overall wellbeing definitely helps, but I struggle with the guilt of procrastinating and not being up-to-date with the tasks of daily life or doing something more “productive” with my time. The unfinished lists can feel heavy, like a quiet judgement in the background. But after a very challenging year, I’m learning that slowing down isn’t failure.

A versatile Indian wreath that can be used to welcome Diwali, Holi or during wedding celebrations . At its heart rests a lotus-patterned , carved wooden mandala. The earthy brown tones echo the sacred threshold of temple doors & gives the wreath a traditional handcrafted look. The mandala is adorned with a vibrant blue & pink acrylic rangoli disc that centres the design like a jewelled bindi.

The wreath radiates out in circular rings like an opening flower. Surrounding the centre is a layer of soft white jasmine, interspersed with saffron yellow marigolds & encircled by a border of magenta carnations.

Pink & black peacock patterned appliqués cradle more rangoli embellishments that gleam like jewels. Nestled under the outer floral layer is a cyan green fabric trim. Rich & ornate like a hand-embroidered zari saree. The entire wreath is support by a rustic brown woven fabric base with 2 hanging antique brass bells

The Jhimil wreath brings to life the rich colours of India & the joyful celebration of festival seasons.
