Here at Blooms, we LOVE supporting local businesses and the arts. We've found a few absolutely wonderful local artisans to welcome into our Blooms family. We're proud to carry locally crafted plant accessories, homemade soaps, hand woven towels, local wines, and gorgeous art and décor by local creators!

Every Occasion Stoneware by Nora Fleming
Nora created her fabulous line of every occasion minis & stonewares (and now Melamine too for those with slippery fingers or young children!) in 2004 in Chicago, IL. She was inspired to create a neutral platter that paired with colorful minis designed to be interchanged through all of life’s seasons and occasions.
We are blessed to be one of the only shops in the Corridor area to sell her wonderful line.

Handwoven Towels by Clar
A local very talented artisan (and plant lover herself), Clar Marie weaves each of her 100% cotton towels on an actual loom! We can't get enough of how soft they are - or how many fun colors she offers. You can't go wrong!
