Running a handmade business isn’t always a straight line and today’s guest, Claire, proves it beautifully. 🌸

After starting with fresh flowers and even pedalling around town on a trike (yes, really!), Claire found her passion and success in creating stunning artificial wreaths and arrangements through her business Jamesia Blooms.

In this episode, she opens up about:
        •        How personal loss inspired her to chase her creative dream
        •        The shift from fresh flowers to artificial designs (and why it worked)
        •        The behind-the-scenes process of designing wreaths and bouquets
        •        The ups and downs of social media and growing an online shop
        •        Her hopes for the future - including her dream of opening a cosy little flower shop

Claire's story is inspiring, honest, and a reminder that it’s never too late to pivot and find the handmade business path that truly lights you up.
