Flower Weaving at last week was AMAZING!

Weaving with dried materials can feel intimidating at first. Where to start, how to handle the delicate petals, and what exactly to make are all excellent questions and concerns!

Through demonstration, supporting one another, and talking through our individual vision, everyone left with something completely unique!

It is such a wonderful feeling seeing each other's creative voices shine through in their pieces.

Thank you again to for having Sam's Stems and new friends for the evening! We always leave feeling more inspired than before!

Unintentional picture perfect model. We love you Georgie!!

Sam's Stems is your #1 fan! (Besides Mr. Paradis of course!)

We had such a lovely time back at the Auburn Senior Center today!

These sunflowers have really brightened up our week 🤩🌻🌞

We would love for you to join us next month!!

Thank you to my beautiful busy bee, Amy!!

Crafting this timeless bouquet for a 60th wedding anniversary was an absolute honor! ☺️🌻

In the years to come, we hope it serves as a beautiful symbol of their enduring love and cherished memories.

Working with dried flowers holds a special place in our hearts, preserving stories and emotions in every petal chosen with care. ☺️♥️

Happy Earth Day everyone! 🌞🌻🌎

We had SO much fun yesterday at creating pressed flower collages together ❣️🌻

Such a fun evening with excellent beer and good vibes 😊 Everyone's collages came out AMAZING! I feel so inspired!

We can't wait to be back soon 🍻🌞🌎🌻

These workshops leave me feeling so incredibly inspired 🌞🌻 What an absolutely magical evening at Generations Herbal Apothecary & Gift Shop for our Spring Broom Workshop!

We discussed the significance of the various dried flowers and crystals Sam's Stems provided and how they relate to the transition of the spring season. Soon after, we dove right into working on our brooms!

Something that stuck with me from this evening was about 10 minutes of a comfortable, natural silence.. it wasn't until minutes later when we looked at each other and realized how in tune we all were with our work!

At one point, we all checked in on our progress and one participant said, "I feel like I am rushing but I can't help it! I'm just excited to see what it looks like!" 😭♥️ How can you not be happy seeing so many people connecting with flowers and their creative side 🌞🌻

So thankful for this experience we shared!
