A Little About Me

I am a woman who has had the dream in her heart to work with flowers since I was 13 years old. I went to school for floral design in the Netherlands (a long time ago ) but then due to circumstances, I was not able to pursue a career in floristry at that time. Years went by, time went on and I eventually went back to school and studied accounting and have been working as an Accounts Payable Manager for the past 20+ years. After being at the same business for 7 years, and being grateful for the job, but also hating every minute of working there since day one, I decided enough was enough and I was going to go back to the dream I had had in my heart for my entire life and I was going to begin to work with flowers again. I dug deep and found the courage and the bravery to take a BIG risk and to follow my dream and create and bring to you all a beautiful and special place called Flowerlicous.

It wasn't easy, but I knew I really wanted to work every single day with something that I loved and not only that, but be able to bring joy, happiness, beauty, color and love into the lives of my friends, family and community. I want to help people understand that flowers are not only for special occasions but are indeed a true act of self love and self care. To buy yourself, your family and friends a beautiful bouquet “just because” and to celebrate yourself on a regular basis is truly one of the nicest things you can do for yourself (and for your loved ones). I have never met anyone who doesn’t love and appreciate receiving a beautiful bouquet of flowers, just to say hello, I love you, or I’m thinking about you and am so grateful you are in my life. Why wait for a special (or sad) occasion to remind yourself or your loved ones how special and appreciated they are? Together, let’s make this something that we do regularly.

My focus is on beautiful bouquets for everyday enjoyment and I have transformed my basement into a little flower boutique and create and post a couple of gorgeous bouquets each week that are for sale. I also am able to take special orders (for your favorite color combos, or favorite flowers) and create something unique for you or your friends and family. I buy my flowers from the wholesale flower market in Chicago and am therefore able to bring you stunning, super fresh bouquets at incredibly low prices. You will not find a more beautiful, full-stemmed bouquet anywhere for the prices I am able to sell them at. And I truly love what I do and would like to share that feeling with you as well.

I would love you to give me the opportunity to bring some joy, happiness, beauty, color and love to your life and the lives of your friends and family. I would also love to help change your mind and for you to finally realize that HECK YEAH, FLOWERS ARE FOR EVERYDAY ENJOYMENT! So come on, stop by and take a chance on me and my bouquets, you will not be disappointed!
