6 months of Papillon 🎀💐💘

Tulips in a temperature controlled freezer, my first floral photoshoot, my first wholesale delivery and friends helping bring my little dream to life ♡

Selling out for Mother’s Day, collaborating with four local coffee shops & popping up at small businesses and events around the city all summer long ♡

Booking weddings, having crazy busy weeks filled with orders & getting to make flowers for your birthdays, anniversaries, baby showers and so many more special moments 🥹 Building relationships with lovely clients and seeing familiar faces come back for more blooms ♡

Five years of being a florist but so many firsts with my own business. Buying a flower fridge, renovating my studio, booking my first brides, building relationships with local businesses and customers & popping up around the city that I love soooo much.

I’m learning to get out of my own head and trust what I’m creating and I’m forever thankful for my friends, family & everyone who has believed in me and supported Papillon Petals along the way. It means more than you know ♡ taken in Hamilton, Ontario by @synonymshop

This Sunday October 18th we are closing down James Street (Barton to Murray), for the second official N.o.B. (North of Barton) Block Party! Last year we were celebrating a business anniversary and the end to a great summer for all of our small business neighbors on our little slice of James street, and had such a good time that we decided to keep it going as an annual event, and now also, a fundraiser!

In addition to having the street closed for everyone all day, we will also be hosting the second annual @skiddleyfest in @RingsideHamilton raising funds for Juravinksi Cancer Center in memory of an old friend, Scott Marsh. Programming on the street is free for everyone all day, but if you want to also come and support a great cause with great people, grab a ticket for Skiddley Fest and make a full day of it North of Barton.

Make sure to check out the rest of the N.o.B.s:

Now showing at Synonym 🎨

A new solo show by Nigerian-born, Hamilton-based painter Seromo Okoro. Working in oil, acrylic and chalk, Seromo paints from dreams, memory and migration. It’s work that rewards a slow look.

On our walls from Oct 1 to mid-November. Come see it over a coffee or a glass of wine.

📍 328 James St N, Hamilton

Watch Rose @collage.ista turn Supercrawl into pure joy!
❤️
As @synonymshop’s Artist of the Month, Rose showed up every single day of Supercrawl to hang out, draw hilarious QuirKatures, and keep everyone smiling. Because honestly… is there anything better than making people happy? 🥹❤️

Her stunning collage artwork is officially on display at Synonym through the end of September. Stop by, grab a coffee, check out the gallery, and support this amazing local talent! 🎨☕
