<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<span style="color: #454545; font-size: small;">My water broke in a lavender field. The PEC lavender festival of all places, a two day event where thousands flock to experience the magic. You might not know but coriander is my second favourite herb. </span><span style="color: #454545;">I was surrounded by beauty, Tyler beside me, Hattie between us squealing with delight as we came over the hill. It was nothing short of a dreamy carnival.</span><span class="Apple-converted-space" style="color: #454545;"> </span><br />
<div class="p1" style="color: #454545; font-size: 23px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Many familiar faces were there and friends came over to say hello. I joked, "this could happen any minute now, I'm feeling the feelings today and I'm one day past due." Just as the words escaped my mouth, a warm release of fluid came trickling down my leg.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>"Guys my water is breaking!" It was one of the most exhilarating feelings I've ever experienced, something I missed out on with Hattie because they had to induce me due to low amniotic fluid. It's because of my traumatic birth with Hattie that the anticipation of our second daughter for 9 months had been wrought with anxiety, fear and doubt.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span></div>
<div class="p1" style="color: #454545; font-size: 23px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-size: small;">I was dreading the possibility of another emergency c-section. Every week with my midwives I'd oscillate between trying for a natural birth experience or just booking a "nice" c-section where I could at least be awake and Tyler could be in the room, I couldn't decide. I was hoping nature would decide for me and I'd go into labour the day I was due. I remember telling my midwives early on that I longed for a birth experience in the woods with a harpsichord and a roaring bonfire but it could never be, previous c-sections have to have an OB present during the delivery. Midwives can be there but they have to transfer care once we reach the hospital. My previous OB with Hattie, wrote in my file that even without an umbilical chord issue, my body might not be able to deliver a baby naturally. Try getting that out of your head. My midwife Christy said, "let your body prove her wrong," but was that the piece of information that was going to trip me up while trying to give birth naturally and send me back to the emergency room? After months of doubt and uncertainty, something happened, a switch was flipped. I had booked a c section for July 6th in the event that if I didn't go into labour on my own before then, we were just going to make it happen, the "nice" c-section. On July 5th I experienced total clarity, I knew what I wanted to do, I wanted to give birth to our baby. I cancelled my c-section for the next day.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>You know the moment in Wonder Woman when they're in the trenches and she gets up, climbs the ladder and heads into battle? That's how I felt, unwavering, resolved and empowered.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;">So there we were, water breaking in the lavender field, the movie moment, hugging friends goodbye and hurriedly shuffling up the hill towards the car, complete strangers clapping for us and wishing us well.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span><span style="font-size: small;">And where was my fear? This negative weight holding me down throughout the entire pregnancy, my fear was nowhere to be found. I felt light and calm and ready. Our midwives instructed us to go home, take a nap, eat a bit. This tiny being was preparing to come but might still take many hours. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;">Unlike the first pregnancy, I was now on the clock given my previous c section there was a risk with how long I could labour before intervention and timelines don't exactly encourage oxytocin but I didn't have to dig very deep to keep my spirits light hearted, I was honestly in a state of euphoria. Just getting to experience my water break was a huge triumph.</span><span class="Apple-converted-space" style="font-size: small;"> </span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;">Back at the farm, we put on a few favourite songs, Hattie and I dancing naked in the living room to U2's With or Without you, Montell Jordan's This is How We Do It. The three of us laughing and dancing in the golden light of the setting sun streaming in through the front windows will be burned in my brain for all time. Hattie does this bum shake dance that never gets old.</span></div>

<div class="p1" style="color: #454545; font-size: 23px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-size: small;">I checked in with my midwives, cuz remember that timeline thing. They wanted us to come for 8pm to the clinic and see if there might be any progress. Off we went with a plan to stay at Tyler's parents that night, closer to Belleville General if we needed to move fast.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span></div>
<div class="p1" style="color: #454545; font-size: 23px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Christy and Freya met us there and together we decided to do a small procedure to see if we could get things moving as I had only dialated 1cm. Back at Penny and Bill's we visited a bit and then all went to bed. I slept alone so Tyler and Hattie could get a good sleep, I was going to need him rested. Around 2 am I started to feel some cramping, it was coming on every six or seven minutes but sometimes skipping to ten or 15 minutes. I called Christy and she suggested waiting until things picked up a bit. Around 430 I called again, this time the pain was coming on with a sharpness to it and a little more steady at 5 minutes apart. Christy thought best to come do a check at the house before making our way to the hospital. By the time she arrived, each contraction was bringing me to my knees. All I wanted to do was get low, close my eyes, and release sounds in the most primal way.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span></div>
<div class="p1" style="color: #454545; font-size: 23px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-size: small;">I was dreading a contraction coming on in the van, they were almost too much to bare. With each one, you just move through it and hold on breathing trying to remind yourself the pain is necessary to move your baby, not there to hurt you.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span></div>
<div class="p1" style="color: #454545; font-size: 23px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-size: small;">When we arrived to the hospital I tried to beat the contraction to the front desk but it brought me to my knees in the hall. Within moments I was in a wheel chair and then on a bed, turned around leaning over the head of the bed backwards while kind nurses poked me with IV lines in between contractions. The pain was feeling too much to get up and over, then someone handed me this gas thing that I could administer myself and I sucked on that stick like, well, think Kate Winslet in Titanic when she's on the life raft blowing the whistle. My midwives arrived and all I remember saying in between contractions "can you follow my lead, I know what I need to do." They checked me again and told me I was moments away from being ready to push. I felt it too, the sensation was strong, almost uncontrollable. I remember saying quietly to my unborn baby, "we've got this, it's you and me." So many serendipitous things about this birth, full moon, Tyler's birthday, lavender fields and then my OB, she just happened to be on call the day I go into spontaneous labour. It could have been anyone of the 10 to 12 doctors and I get mine! OB's have to be present for a vbac, (vaginal birth after cesarean) and I was amazed to find such a beautiful working relationship between Dr. Alavi and the midwifery team. There was an unspoken collective team spirit happening and knowing there wasn't an underlying tension between the two departments was such a comfort. The room felt united. </span></div>
<div class="p1" style="color: #454545; font-size: 23px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-size: small;">There we all were, I can't recount much because at a certain point you go so deep and the room disappears. You lock onto a voice here and there giving you a direction, where to push from and how long and when to stop pushing so you don't tear. You go so deep and then you come to the realization you're the only one who can move this baby out of your body. I remember someone placing my hand on the top of her head, I could feel her hair but even then it felt an impossible task. I remember begging for ice chips from Tyler and then he got good, anticipating my next spoonful. Then I remember yelling, 'no more ice!' I remember the mental shift and the moment I knew it was happening and I COULD do it, I would do it. Christy whispering in my ear, "just go to the woods." I don't know how but I also remember the presence of a really kind and funny nurse, later I would know her as Jill and she was snapping photos of the entire thing on Tyler's iPhone!<span class="Apple-converted-space"> Okay, I'll show you one of those at the end of the story.</span></span></div>
<div class="p1" style="color: #454545; font-size: 23px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Everyone was breathing and working with me in the most profound way. And then I arrived, the top of the mountain, the precipice and I felt her head pass through and then her shoulders quickly after and the sweetest most unbelievable instantaneous relief as they sprang her up onto my chest, we were crying and joyful and vibrating, the room collectively cheering. I could hear Tyler's voice fill with tears, he was overcome with emotion and joy as we kissed. I came back to the room the second she arrived and there I was looking into the eyes of these incredible women who helped me. Christy, Freya, Emily, Dr. Alavi, Jill and my love Tyler. We did it.</span><span class="Apple-converted-space" style="font-size: small;"> </span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;">There is nothing in the world I can compare it to. Nothing sweeter, nothing more impossible yet sooo possible.</span><span class="Apple-converted-space" style="font-size: small;"> </span><span style="font-size: small;">Adeline Ruth (Ruth was my Nana who passed away a couple years ago, my soulmate) Hogan born July 9th, 845am, the very day and exact minute her Father was born! Weighing 6 pounds, 12 ounces. A full head of blonde hair and a surprisingly round shaped head. Seeing as I arrived at the hospital at 6am and delivered by 845am didn't allow for much time in the birth canal.</span><span class="Apple-converted-space" style="font-size: small;"> </span></div>
<div class="p1" style="color: #454545; font-size: 23px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-size: small;">The aftercare was incredible at BGH, and although I was told it was safe for me to leave only a few hours after giving birth, I elected to stay the evening. Stacey was my nurse and she was an absolute rock. I'm certain I pushed the call button one too many times but she always made me feel like I could push it again if I needed to. She also stole me an extra pair of those amazing hospital undies. Kathy was my night nurse and she was also incredibly kind. I think by morning some sleep deprivation had kicked in and when Stacey was back on the floor I was calling her Kathy. I was mortified.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span></div>
<div class="p1" style="color: #454545; font-size: 23px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-size: small;">When Hattie came to the hospital the next morning we were overcome with joy to watch her embrace her new sister with such kindness, she was genuinely excited to meet her. I have so many emotions around this area, I'm brought to tears when I think about how madly in love I am with Hattie and how much it hurts that I have to share the love she's used to having all to herself. Luckily, Tyler is her main squeeze and if anything she's getting extra attention right now which is such a comfort.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;">As I lay here now in bed at home, cocooning with Adeline, I'm reminded of the early days with Hattie. Moments that feel impossibly hard, tempered by euphoria make it all manageable.</span><span class="Apple-converted-space" style="font-size: small;"> </span></div>
<div class="p1" style="color: #454545; font-size: 23px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-size: small;">I am blessed with a quick and ample milk supply and Adeline was latching moments after being born. I breastfed Hattie until she was two and a half and fortunately Adeline is much like her sister, super efficient at the breast. The midwives had hoped to see her gain a few ounces in between visits and she gained 11 ounces! The things that rock your world as a Mom.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span></div>
<div class="p1" style="color: #454545; font-size: 23px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-size: small;">For me, the two experiences are so similar yet worlds different. The recovery time after my c-section was weeks and weeks if not months of emotional trauma too. Tyler had to do everything for me and Hattie in those first weeks because my mobility was so limited. This time I was moving with ease after a few days, taking it easy from a few stitches but the discomfort was manageable. I'm doing all of the things a new mom should be able to, completely unrestricted.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span></div>
<div class="p1" style="color: #454545; font-size: 23px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-size: small;">At the end of the day, it doesn't matter how you get there as long as the baby is healthy. For me, this was about healing and avoiding major surgery, learning that my body IS capable of giving birth, if it had ended in a c-section at least I could say I tried.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span></div>
<div class="p1" style="color: #454545; font-size: 23px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-size: small;">I wish I could say I enjoyed being pregnant but I'm too impatient. It's the one caveat, waiting 9 months, that's going to be the thing that saves us from having ten more. Honestly I would have all the babies if the baking time was shorter.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span></div>

<br />
<div class="page" title="Page 1">
<div class="section" style="background-color: rgb(100.000000%, 100.000000%, 100.000000%);">
<div class="layoutArea">
<div class="column">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Hello everyone!
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It’s that time again;)<br />
We’re expanding our family as well as our business model!
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We’re shifting things around a little at the Picton location,
moving our operations to the back of 202 Main Street to better
accommodate the growing demand of weddings and events, and um..I kinda need to pop out a babe. This means we’re going to welcome a new Main
St. boutique to the front of our building! EEEK! </span><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">My friend Cat is opening CATalyst (cute right?!). She describes it as 'a modern shop in the old country with specially selected products that start a conversation, a</span><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> place where rural heritage and a new creative spirit come together.' Cat's shop </span><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">will compliment downtown Picton so beautifully and we know you’re going to love it. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">What do these minor changes mean for our current PEC
customers? Coriander Girl is still available for event and
wedding flowers all season long and already booking into next
season for summer events. The day to day walk-in flower service will be on pause for now but we can accommodate flower orders with a $200 minimum. Ultimately these changes
are allowing us the opportunity to focus on the development of

<span style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: initial;">Let me tell you that the moment I met Marta and Mike, I knew it was love at first sight. They are really fun and adventurous spirits that I just loved hanging out with! As a wedding photographer, it is really important for me to get along with my couples and it was so easy with these two! Photographing their fun-filled New Year’s Eve wedding was a breeze! I used Mango’s signature candid approach in their first look and ceremony because I wanted to document raw, genuine emotions between them. Our photojournalistic style was a great choice for their reception as well as it was filled with laughter, tears of joy, and hilarious jokes.</span><span class="s1"></span></div>

<span style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: initial;">Marta and Mike met in Guelph where they both grew up. Mike works as a business analyst, while Marta is a successful interior designer, both in Toronto. Mike is an avid sports fan, and plays recreational softball and golf with his buddies any chance he gets. Marta loves all things design, fashion and food. She loves to cook and Mike loves to eat. Isn’t it a perfect match?</span><span class="s1"></span></div>

<span class="s1"><br /></span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: initial;">Marta and Mike told me that they wanted their wedding to be a non-serious, super fun party that everyone has a blast at! They decided to throw a New Year’s Eve wedding bash that would be party focused as opposed to more traditional in theme. Marta designed all of the bad-ass stationery and black and white paper decor that incorporated many witty quips and quotes throughout the space (“Trust me, you can dance - Vodka”). Cocktail offerings were a traditional Old Fashioned (our favourite!) and a bubbly French 75 in keeping with the festivities of New Year’s Eve. The bride’s gals each received a heart-shaped pendant necklace engraved with a rap lyric, and the groom’s dudes all got Blue Jay caps in various colours (reflecting the groom’s passionate love for baseball, of course). A full 4-course dinner played off of the groom's maternal italian side, who insisted on a plate of pasta before their meat!</span><span class="s1"></span></div>

<div class="p2">
<span style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: initial;">What I loved the most was Marta and her girlfriends burgundy flowers designed by the talented Coriander Girl! Deep, merlot red with loose greenery – they looked so organic and flattering against their leather jackets and gold sequin dresses. Continuing the theme, Coriander Girl also worked her magic and transformed the reception space at Archeo into a winter wonderland garden, filled with romantic hanging greenery and lush floral arrangements. The reds in the flowers complemented the space’s rustic vibe, while the greenery gave it a modern spin!</span><span class="s1"></span></div>

<span class="s1" style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: black;">Lauren and Sacha had a clear vision of their perfect, Casa Loma wedding from the start – a day surrounded by friends and family sharing good stories, over great food, and amazing wine. We really wanted to capture the essence of Lauren and Sacha’s dazzling personalities and tell a natural, seamless story of their big day. That’s why we took our signature candid approach to their wedding photography. By incorporating storytelling and editorial elements, we strived to capture their emotions and the warmth they shared with their family and friends in every shot.</span></span></div>

<span class="s1" style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: black;">Planned by Bisous Events, this wedding was filled with golden details, elegant decor and featured custom, white and blush florals by our friends, Coriander Girl. To say that we swooned over her bridal bouquet is an understatement! Delicate, yet lush, it was a perfect mirror to Lauren’s femininity and soft, kind personality.</span></span></div>

<br />
Like many of you, I'm happy to see 2016 in my rear view. I've never seen such a collective hate on for a year gone by. The monkey was relentless. Yet despite the crappy bits, there were actually some incredible
triumphs and discoveries. We moved into our dream farmhouse with a wedding venue, what could be wrong?! For me it was a year of extremes. Great successes mixed in with monumental challenges and a slice of anguish on the side. I watched my friends struggling too, not everyone, but some of us took a wild ride through the spin cycle. I learned that without the tribulations this past year, I'd have no chance for future success. Sometimes you have to burn it all down to see what's salvageable. I fear my business and my personal life could have suffered greatly had I not been forced to dig deeper than I ever have before. Taking stock of what is working in your life is quite a thing, but to actually unearth the shit that is catastrophic, to shine a light on the darkest parts, that is something entirely different. It feels like an actual page has turned, or rather an entire chapter has ended and I'm so hopeful and excited about 2017. I've always been transparent with my readers, sometimes I fear being too honest but I don't know how else to be. This blog started out as a way for my Mom to catch up on the goings on in my life and business and so I wrote it as though we were having an intimate phone conversation. Over the years a few thousand or so of you started reading but I couldn't change the way I wrote, every time I edited myself it became inauthentic, pinched. So here it is, my heart on my sleeve, authentic me, this one's for you... and my Mom.

(a few highlights from the year)<br />
<br />
Since moving to the County full time after Hattie was born, I took a huge leap of faith prepping the business for my TO team to manage. Over the last 7 years we've seen some major growth but particularly the last 2.5 years. There is some serious truth behind the idea that it's impossible to grow your business from 'behind the counter.' The best decision I've ever made was to hire a manager. I've always been blessed with landing crazy talented human beings who help the business evolve, challenge me, challenge themselves and create beauty on a daily basis. If you follow Coriander Girl then you are well aware of our "all star" cast. You know who the people are who've helped make this company great. I make it a point to credit my designers, as I believe everyone deserves acknowledgement. Sure it gives people a platform to go off on their own but heck, it's a new world and I'm not sure the old rules apply. Most recently we shared the news that Tellie Hunt would be leaving us to pursue her own business. This decision didn't come easy for me. For those of you who own businesses, you understand it's a constant juggling act. No matter how successful you get, the juggling never stops, the balls just get bigger. So while attempting to juggle my increasingly large lady balls, I realized the task wasn't getting easier and the stakes just kept getting higher.
From the County, I was observing my TO team crushing it but still feeling the impossible weight of responsibility. It's one thing to carry the weight when it's your own baby but it's quite another to expect your employees to do it. Inarguably I've always been fair to my people, and in that fairness, I knew it was time for Tellie to pursue her own endeavours and fortunately she agreed. Without question, she did an amazing job, gave her heart to my company and you all know the caliber of beauty that came out of the wedding studio over the last couple of years. The thing that needs to be addressed however, and with total respect for Tellie, is that she wasn't an army of one. On any given day, we had upwards of 3 to 5 employees in the wedding department. We've heard a few rumours that because our weddings manager is leaving, this is the end of our wedding team, but that's quite an insult to the incredibly talented people who still remain. Deanna Balmer is a wildly talented designer and deserves an award for the endless hours and heart she's given this company. Elena as well as Alexandra and Mal all worked tirelessly to help get the job done and of course the unwavering support of Coriander Dad/contractor/wedding set up guy/caterer/delivery dude extraordinaire. Recently we've welcomed another lovely crew member, Marilou, her designs are cray-zy. These talented, inspired women, are led by the incomparable Amira Shabason (who has been with the company for three years, two of which were spent as Tellie's right hand at the wedding studio.) They've earned their cred and are nothing short of amazing. Together we all wish Tellie well as she embarks on the wildest most exciting ride of her life in business ownership, she deserves every success.

<br />
I've made the choice to close our retail location in Toronto because the reality is I'm not there, 90% of our sales are now by phone or email and our wedding department is all consuming. The shop front tends to steal so much time from the pile of orders accumulating throughout the day, our staff ends up having to stay hours after close because they can't get to the work. I have struggled with this decision, lay awake contemplating reasons why it's a good or bad idea but remember the part above about "employees feeling the impossible weight of responsibility..." it's time to secure the foundation properly before adding another floor. Undeniably though, it was the local love and support from our favourite neighbourhood walk ins that put us on the map long before Instagram likes and we're forever grateful. The thing is, moving into the expansive studio space on Florence allows us so many more options. We'll still be accessible on certain days, we're planning regular shop and pop-up events to satisfy the folks who need to touch and feel the produce. And we aren't going far, just a couple of blocks away from 1604. The amalgamation of the two spaces will alleviate a myriad of issues that have developed over the years and will create an even stronger opportunity for efficiency and growth. We'll be able to focus on providing a broader selection of locally grown blooms from our favourite local farmers and bring you the very best of our talents. In the words of the great Martha Stewart, "It's a good thing."<br />

So please, if you still have questions we welcome your emails to hello@coriandergirl.com or pec@coriandergirl.com
We want to help you understand the changes and leave no question unanswered. We're making the transition over to the studio this month. All month long we'll be having shop sales at 1604 to lighten the load before we do our final move. We'll also be unveiling a more user friendly website with online shopping! I never thought I'd say those words!
I remember when I first left the TO location and moved to the county. My girls would call and say, "customers are asking for you." And then those same customers quickly realized talented people were there in my place and happy to serve them. Perhaps I need to add an "s" on the end of Coriander Girl because it's never been one person alone, not EVER. It's the collected efforts of many who make this company great and in it's continuing evolution my sole responsibility is to remain consistent in beauty, that's what I can promise you. I believe Now Magazine called us "Best Florist" this year for a reason, we're not going anywhere;)<br />

From my deepest truth, I have never been more grounded or more clear headed about the direction of my business. I've never been happier or more stable feeling in my personal life. Tyler and I will welcome our second babe this summer and we are over the moon for Hattie to have a sister or a brother. Thank you dear friends, your kindness, love and support is felt from all over this incredible world. I get your messages! I love reading about your experiences in this crazy business and although I can't always respond promptly, I will try harder this year. I'm always amazed that anyone wants my advice, half the time I feel like I'm dangling off the edge of a cliff! We're all flailing at some point or another and once in awhile, for a minute, we might make it look effortless.

How do we begin to express our gratitude? We can't even... Can't EVEN!!!
One thing is for certain, it took 7 years to get here and I didn't do it alone.
From our incredible employees to the flower growers, local farmers, our relationships with
other industry professionals, photographers and event space coordinators. I have been surrounded
by an army of immeasurable talent. My family, Tyler and Hattie inspire me daily. Every employee/freelancer
and of course Coriander Dad has contributed to this lovely triumph so stand up and give yourself a slow clap!

Coriander Girl feels like the little shop that could. If you've followed our journey, you remember
how tiny the first shop was yet despite it's size and the lack of social media we made big waves in the early days.
We've celebrated some pretty exciting milestones since 2009. We moved to a bigger location, hired a super talented
weddings manager, opened a wedding studio, opened a second location in Prince Edward County, and recently bought a farm with a 200
year old church to host Coriander Weddings and Events. These business decisions were huge leaps of faith and
truly inspired by the network of love that surrounds me on a daily basis.
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhf56qCp-6EC70TTKyz-Gs2oJGKz-qTwxRNEi_fRGqF6TZgyCQ3hcQC3uDSgxMUVlCEUyCXcycutuSW5Sqkep9hJHT-QP6-7XlfoKHLXG4PIqq7R6qoQNO8Wh42VWzWfvTHfMre2TrK9beL/s1600/IMG_1717.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhf56qCp-6EC70TTKyz-Gs2oJGKz-qTwxRNEi_fRGqF6TZgyCQ3hcQC3uDSgxMUVlCEUyCXcycutuSW5Sqkep9hJHT-QP6-7XlfoKHLXG4PIqq7R6qoQNO8Wh42VWzWfvTHfMre2TrK9beL/s640/IMG_1717.JPG" width="427" height="640" /></a></div>
The future is looking so sparkly. We've always championed local growers but for 2017 we want even more,
especially for our wedding clients. We'll be honing in on intimate gatherings with the emphasis on offering
a one of a kind bespoke floral experience. We're also unveiling the wedding venue in PEC this coming Spring where I'll be
focusing my efforts. At our Toronto location, the oh so lovely and talented Amira Shabason will continue to hold fort
as manager extraordinaire. The images shown here are from a creative Amira did a couple of weeks ago, every time she designs I can just hear the flowers cheering, "pick me, pick me!" She has a rare and special gift.
Together we're working on some really cool projects for TO and we can't wait to share them as they unfold.

If this is the first time you're learning about us, there are a few things we want you to know. We care about people first,
We believe in nurturing relationships from the farm to the vase and we know without question this kind of practise
finds its way into our designs. Cheesy as that may sound, pass the triple cream brie!!
Thank you so so much for voting for us guys! Thank you to my 2 year old daughter Hattie for reminding me and
my husband Tyler that's its about the love, and eating more pancakes.
For a long time it felt like I was climbing up hill with boulders strapped to my back and then I started developing
my crew who helped carry some of that weight. Today I am so grateful. I didn't think it was possible to feel more love and support, but I do! Because of YOU, I feel like I just grew some bad ass lightening bolts and it's only seconds to the moon.
Weeeeeeeeeeee!
Much love,

We just got back some insanely beautiful photos from the oh so talented <a href="http://www.purpletree.ca/" target="_blank">Purple Tree Photography</a> of a styled shoot we did earlier this year. Although this arrangement is packed full of spring blooms I just could not resist sharing as it makes me want to put on a nice smokey toned sweater and have a chai tea latte. Agree?</div>

We are so proud of this shoot and to be a part of such an incredible theme. When Alex of <a href="http://blushandbowties.ca/" target="_blank">Blush and Bowties </a>came to us with this magical idea for a styled shoot we just could not resist. This is what our dreams are made of and we couldn't have done it without such an amazing team.</div>

Coriander Girlhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12392274796272420828noreply@blogger.com121tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7928514622457546215.post-67081547757781635212016-04-08T14:12:00.001-07:002016-04-08T14:34:10.705-07:00It's been a long time friends! <div class="p1" style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="s1">Hi…hiiiiiii. </span></div>
<div class="p1" style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="s1">It’s been a loooong time since I’ve written one of these, maybe even like two years long so </span></div>
<div class="p1" style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="s1">here goes, might get a little windy! I don't mean gassy, you get what I mean! Ha! </span></div>
<div class="p1" style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="s1">I actually really miss writing almost everyday. When I first opened 7 years ago there was ample time for blogging and the Coriander Bits, but not so much anymore. This week having been bed ridden with the ol' plague, I've got time! </span></div>
<div class="p1" style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="s1"><br /></span></div>
<div class="p1" style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="s1">So, what’s new?! </span></div>
<div class="p1" style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="s1">For those of you who know me, you know I don’t stay idle for long. Apparently, I like a challenge, the bigger the risk the greater the reward and so I run face first at it!</span></div>
<div class="p1" style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="s1">Coriander Girl has been the single most challenging/rewarding entity in my life that nothing prior could have ever prepared me for, a steep uphill climb is an understatement but I always felt the wind at my back and a village cheering me on. </span></div>
<div class="p1" style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="s1"><br /></span></div>
<div class="p1" style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="s1">Do you know the story? I like to tell it as often as possible because it reminds me of all the beauty in this world. I was that wide eyed child of 30 claiming that if we could build it, they would come. It didn’t matter that I signed a lease with only $50 to my name, I had heart and I knew if I could just get the doors open the rest would fall into place. Why was I so broke at the time? My bartending job at the ACC was seasonal and I hadn't had an acting gig in quite some time so the funds were dangerously low. Sometimes those moments of desperation help spur major change. It was either find a new job or make something happen. The women I admired most were out there taking names! It was my turn to step up or settle in to someone else's plan. </span></div>
<div class="p1" style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="s1">So there I went, I wrote a wildly optimistic business plan and approached my Nana for a loan, that was after every bank in Ontario laughed me out the door. With my face held tight in her hands and tears in our eyes she looked intense, “how much do you need?!” </span></div>
<div class="p1" style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="s1">I could have said anything I suppose, but I asked to borrow ten grand. I guess I really do like a challenge. After a meeting with Dad to discuss the reno we were flying. 'Coriander Dad,' as you know, has a way of making anything feel achievable. With all hands on deck we opened the doors a month later, Nana helped cut the ribbon. </span></div>
<div class="p1" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1" style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="s1">When I think back on those early days, I’m amazed we got through it, Tyler and I. </span></div>
<div class="p1" style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="s1">We sacrificed a lot after we were married. We slept on the shop floor for a time, endless late nights for me. Always the last shop to lock up for the night and the first one there in the morning. Being a lady boss is full of impossible expectations and you just have to soldier through because you believe in it and because...well…you have no other choice. Ultimately, I believed that one day things would get easier and the strife would be worth it. I’m not going to lie, there were days I felt like a scared little mole in the dark, (some of you will appreciate this reference;) Each new experience as a business owner helping guide future choices, mostly not wanting to make the same mistake twice but sometimes you do anyway. With the addition of incredible lady crew members, Tellie Hunt, Amira Shabason we've turned a corner. I think the biggest thing I’ve learned in business is letting go, let good people do what they do best and I'm not allowed to set the prices. Apparently in another life I ran a very charitable organization. This was a revelation, getting out of my employees way so they could do their jobs. I also encourage their own identities within the company. I’m sure there are a million schools of thought against this idea but I’ve got to listen to my gut on this one. </span></div>
<div class="p1" style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="s1">As we grow, we’ve had good folks come and go from the crew, I learned a lot from my experiences with our employees. Our team has settled in now like a well worn pair of jeans and we’ve got good reliable freelancers on the side to help when needed. At some point over the last 7 years floristry became really cool and so we’re blessed to have such an incredible resource of talented designers to choose from. </span></div>
<div class="p1" style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="s1"><br /></span></div>
<div class="p1" style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="s1">After giving birth to our daughter 2 years ago this June, I thought I was slowing down by moving to the county, but remember when I said I don’t stay idle for long? It only took 2 months of pushing a stroller along main street to find a place just begging for Coriander Girl PEC. </span></div>
<div class="p1" style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="s1">The thing is, believe it or not, the drive in me comes from a deep desire to simplify. I know my actions might seem like a contradiction but trust me, there is a method to what seems like total and utter madness. </span></div>
<div class="p1" style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="s1">And that brings us to Water Road in Sophiasburgh, Prince Edward County. </span></div>
<div class="p1" style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="s1">We saw this property on MLS almost 3 years ago. I literally gasped and quite possibly cried tears as I shouted to Tyler from another room, “I found our house!! It has a church on the property!!!” I dreamt of how this could be the evolution of Coriander Girl, hosting small ceremonies and workshops. I imagined us raising our family there, riding our bikes along the county roads, late night fires with friends. Truly a dream because our reality could not afford it and so I had to put it out of my mind…well sort of. </span></div>
<div class="p1" style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="s1">A few years later, a baby, a newly opened Coriander PEC and a flourishing Coriander Toronto, we were just barely in a position to look at Water Road but it was still available! I probably had no business looking at it, but remember that thing I mentioned about heading face first into a challenge?</span></div>
<div class="p1" style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="s1">We saw the property on a very crisp day last February. <a href="http://ancestralroofs.blogspot.ca/2014/01/pastor-perfect.html" target="_blank">John Brisley</a>, darling owner and preservationist, met us in the lane and he walked us through sharing stories along the way of the incredible move and rebuild. Both the home and church are from different parts of Ontario! The Brisley’s are serious preservationists and have devoted their lives to restoration. I cried tears again as I approached the front door, “It’s our house,” I whispered. We left and we knew we had to try, but this deal was going to take a miracle of sorts. I’m a firm believer in Karma, and if there ever was a time I needed to cash one in, the time was now. Picture a montage of moments, let's add a sound track...(That's what friends are for ~ Gladys Knight, Stevie Wonder, Elton John) Okay here's me helping cute older ladies up streetcar steps, giving my seat up on the subway, that time I waited in the pouring rain to hail a taxi for a pregnant woman wearing impossible shoes and a ridiculous amount of groceries, “Stilettos on a Tuesday morning at Fresh Co? You're my hero lady.” It was going to take more than convincing the bank to take a chance on me. I needed angels this time. </span></div>
<div class="p1" style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="s1">Well..a miracle happened, angels came! (And you know who you are.) We closed on March 16th, 2016 after months and months…and months of any and every possible kind of hoop I needed to hop through, I hopped. Picture me, bobbing and weaving and hopping and slopping my way through a real estate obstacle course that would make any MLS junkie’s head pop right off. I thought I was seasoned but this was next level shizzle. Derrick Morgan, <a href="http://www.pictonhomes.com/" target="_blank">Libby Crombie</a>, Shelagh Mathers, and James Bar you're all geniuses. I gambled slightly on one of the conditions. I can say it now but there is a reason I didn’t sleep much in 2015. We needed to sell our house in order to close the deal but I waived that condition because I believed it would happen swiftly. Didn’t matter that some houses on our street had been for sale for years, our buyers were out there! Thanks to<a href="http://www.johnnylamphoto.com/" target="_blank"> Johnny Lam</a>, the cutest couple in the land saw the beautiful pics and bought the house only 3 weeks after being on the market. Foolishly or brilliantly I tend to not think about the 'what if’s.' </span></div>
<div class="p1" style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="s1"><br /></span></div>
<div class="p1" style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="s1">So, here I sit, writing this from my newly appointed lady space. It’s a room all my own, looking out across a field of wheat-y looking grasses and glorious trees, a stream trickles in the distance. A place to dream. I’m surrounded by the things that bring me joy, a desk, a comfortable chair, a few crystals, my fierce bunnies, a perfect portrait of Tyler taken just around that sweet spot when we knew we were falling in love and didn’t need food or sleep so he’s kind of heroine chic. Speaking of sleep, Hattie is asleep in the next room. Knowing we’re home now, I think we're all sleeping better than we have in years. I feel like I can exhale for the first time in a long time, not that I don't have to continue to hustle but the last couple of years have been ridiculously hard. </span></div>
<div class="p1" style="text-align: justify;">
For me, this home is an opportunity to really dig in, literally I can dig in the soil for days. And what's better, Tyler can come on board with his music and food and hospitality background. Together we want to make magic here. We're aiming for 2017 to be fully operational. I'm currently working on the business model for the event space and this summer we'll test it out with a few events/workshops. For any inquiries you can email pec@coriandergirl.com. </div>

This 200 year old colonial was lovingly numbered, dismantled board by board and then moved all the way from Cobourg to this lovely 12 acre parcel of land in Sophiasburgh. <a href="http://countylive.ca/blog/?p=34505" target="_blank">John and Diane Brisley</a> are extraordinary people, dedicated to the preservation of historic buildings. It's an honour for us to carry the torch and celebrate these monuments for years to come. Lucky for us, the Brisley's remain our neighbours living just across the street in the Demille house built in 1818. Diane baked an apple pie to welcome us last week and soup and cornbread showed up yesterday, we could get used to this;) </div>

This church originally resided in Adolphustown. The Brisley's read in the paper it was going to be burned down and they rescued her, moving it to the same property on Water Road. Lovely fact, my friend <a href="http://www.houseoffalconer.com/#!owner-bio/cjg9" target="_blank">Alex Fida</a> and his Dad helped rebuild this church and Alex helped build the dry stone wall. </div>

The stone wall was built later as it's reminiscent of the cemetery on the original church property. This would be a perfect spot to toast a glass of Hinterland after a wedding ceremony don't you think?</div>

<span style="text-align: start;">Believe the hype, Prince Edward County is a special place. The folks here are true gems, both the locals and transplants have proven to be some of the most kind and supportive people I've ever met. It's truly a beautiful place and I'm honoured to call it home. It's always been Tyler's home so he laughs when I go on and on about it but I can't help it, I'm in love with where we live. I wish my Nan could see it but she passed away this winter. I imagined her there the day we moved in, cutting the ribbon as we crossed the threshold. I know she's cheering us on. </span></div>

We (and our thighs) are so thrilled to announce that <span style="color: #cc0000;"><b>we have moved</b> </span>from the 2nd floor at 77 Florence St. to the 1st! This means no more lugging your blooms up three flights of stairs on the fire escape which we cannot be happier about. As you may already know, <b><span style="color: #cc0000;">all meetings wedding related (unless otherwise told) will take place at 77 Florence St.</span></b> and, <b><span style="color: #cc0000;">as of April 5th</span></b> will be in <b><span style="color: #cc0000;">unit 107</span></b>. To access this unit, you can park on the street, walk to the east parking lot of 77 Florence St. and knock on our door! We cannot wait to continue to grow and make flower magic in our new (more conveniently located) wedding studio.<br />

We are so thrilled to be a part of this lovely community. Picton has proven to be a perfect place to call home. Everyone has been wildly supportive and shown us such love over the last couple of months since our recent opening just before Mother's Day.<br />
If you haven't yet been by for a visit, please come in and introduce yourself. I can't wait to meet you!<br />
The shop girls in Toronto are holding fort and producing extraordinary beauty both in the 1604 Queen St. location and in the wedding studio.<br />
I am one blessed girl to have such an incredible team.<br />
It's 11pm and I'm blogging from my iPhone and of course it won't upload my pictures for some nutty reason! But I promise pictures of the renovations are soon to follow.<br />
Thank you to everyone for sending us so much love!<br />

Hello Dear Friends!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I am writing you on behalf of Alison (because she is knee deep in paint and prepping for this exciting event) to tell you that as of May 3rd our third location is opening in Picton! We couldn't be more excited to bring a little Coriander flare to The County. We invite anyone and everyone who is able to make it to celebrate this new milestone with us.<br />Cannot wait to see you and share the love.<br />-Tellie</div>

<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Hello City Dwellers (GTA included),<br />We are so pleased to announce our last four workshops until next winter. Wedding season is knocking at our door so we figured we better squeeze a few more in before our workshop space is turned into a wedding abyss.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Learn how to make a hand tied bouquet with a garden inspired Coriander flare. We will be teaching how to achieve a loose, flowing hand tied bouquet and how to build your bicep muscles (just kidding about the last part). All material, floral shears, light snacks and tea will be provided. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="background-color: white; line-height: 18.4799995422363px;"><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Because our "Single Ladies" Valentine's Day workshop was such a hoot we decided to do it all over again. This workshop is all about having a fun easy going night out with your girlfriends. We will talk about design basics, but mostly, we will just have fun. You will be able to take home a large mason jar arrangement. Materials and floral shears will be provided but this is a B.Y.O.B event and we will all chip in to bring snacks. Trust me, this is not a workshop you will want to miss. </span></span><br />

Market & Workshop<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This past Sunday we were so lucky to be a part of <a href="http://www.theweddingco.com/" target="_blank">The Wedding CO.'s Wedding Market</a>. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The Wedding Co. is run by the most kind people and we were surrounded by so much beauty and warm hearted folks. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.nivshimshon.com/" target="_blank">Niv Shimshon</a> spent his day walking around the market to take the most beautiful photos of everyone's hard work including our Wild About Flowers workshop. He made me look awesome as I blabbed away about my favourite topic; bridal bouquets, and for this I am so grateful. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I am so proud to say that we are a part of this amazing community. Toronto is lucky to have such talented folk and we are so lucky to have such cool brides. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Stay tuned for our upcoming photo shoot that will soon be released on <a href="http://www.theweddingco.com/" target="_blank">The Wedding Co.'s blog. </a></div>

As I sit here looking out the window (to where we can usually see the sun setting over the city) all I can see is a a grey abyss. I thought I should take this moment and warm up your day just like this lovely winter wedding warmed our hearts.
Niveen and Rob were so lovely to work with and gave us a lot of creative freedom to let us show them what we can do.
<a href="http://www.olivephotography.ca/">Olive Photography</a> gracefully sent us these photos so we can share the warmth with you.
