The Dainty Carrot is a season led, dried flower shop offering an assortment of handcrafted wreaths and swags.
My inspiration is found in the Queen Anne’s Lace, a wildflower steeped in folklore and adorned with an unassuming charm. It is called “bird’s nest”and symbolizes sanctuary and refuge.
My dried flower designs are beautifully natural and random, with botanicals in nuanced colors and soft textures to complement your living spaces.
I follow flowering seasons and source locally whenever possible for the lowest carbon footprint. All the material used in the construction of my designs are biodegradable (no wires, harsh chemicals, bleach or dyes) and can be safely returned to the earth if needed.
In an effort to reduce waste, I repurpose broken and leftover flower heads, twigs and leaves into bundles to serve as supplemental nesting material for backyard birds, whose natural habitats are diminishing. Their nests are a testament of the creativity and resourceful of the natural world and need to be protected.
It is my joy to create for you in support of the growing field of nature-based floristry.
