Back to the studio after a little week-long escape to soak in ALL the beachy water vibes 🌊☀️

And now… back to where the magic happens. ✨
My worktable is covered in bridal flowers, love stories, and a whole lot of tiny details waiting to be preserved forever. 🌸💍

There’s something so special about coming back refreshed and getting lost in these stories again.

A week away gave me the reset I needed… and now it’s time to turn these once-in-a-lifetime blooms into forever keepsakes. 🤍

Brides, your flowers deserve more than a day in a vase. They deserve a story that lasts. 🌿

WAIT… WHY DOES THIS DONUT SMELL LIKE DESSERT?! 🍩👀

Plot twist: YOU CAN’T EAT IT. 😭
But you can light it. 🕯️

I’m experimenting with a tiny batch of donut-shaped soy candles made with my petal pigments + food-inspired essences to give them that “is this actually food?” look and smell.

✨ Zero calories
✨ Maximum dessert energy
✨ 100% candle

This is a small experimental batch, and now I need your brutally honest opinion…

Would you actually BUY these? 👀🍩

Comment 🍩 YES if I should turn this experiment into a whole food-inspired candle collection!

Me: spends 2 hours setting up the perfect craft fair booth 😌✨

Also me: “Okay… but what did people ACTUALLY stop to look at?” 😂👀

Apparently… the earrings. 😂

🌼 Daisy + gold chain dangles
🌶️ Real pressed & dried chile earrings
💎 Crystal dangles with real pressed flowers

Because apparently I can build an entire booth… and you’ll still walk straight past everything to stare at the tiny sparkly things. 😂

And honestly? I’m not mad about it. 👀

Saw a pair you need? DM me the name of the style or screenshot this reel and I’ll help you find yours. ✨
Can’t make it to a craft fair? You can shop my handmade earrings online and I ship nationwide. 💌

Which pair are you claiming? 👇

Before the finished piece comes together… there’s A LOT happening behind the scenes. 👀✨

For Mellisa & Michelle’s custom order, I hand-made these 7-inch letters — carefully shaping, refining and preparing every detail before they became part of their final keepsake.

It’s these little details that make a custom piece truly theirs. 🤍

From an idea → to handmade letters → to a finished piece they can keep forever.

Would you choose your initials, a name, or a meaningful word for your custom piece? 👇

09/01/2026

Mellisa & Michelle trusted me to turn something meaningful into a piece they can keep close every day. 🤍

This custom desk clock was made especially for them — combining sentimental blooms with a functional piece of art that belongs on their desk, not tucked away in a box.

Because preserving memories doesn’t always have to mean a frame… sometimes it can be something you look at every single day. ✨

Custom sentimental pieces are always made with so much love and intention. 🌸

DM me if you have flowers, memories, or keepsakes you’d love to turn into something forever.

Okay… THIS is why I was excited about that machine. 👀

I finally put my Resiners curing machine to work on my handmade flower earrings 🌸

And honestly? Being able to cure pieces faster makes such a difference when you’re working on multiple earrings at once.

Less waiting.
Faster turnaround.
More time creating. ✨

And because I make functional little pieces of art every day, I’m not interested in something that’s just fast — I need a cure that gives me a finish I’m happy to put my name on.

So yes… the freebie got put to WORK. 😂

Resiners, you might have just made my studio workflow a whole lot faster!

08/30/2026

POV: A brand you actually wanted to try sends you a surprise 🤍✨

When Resiners reached out about a collaboration and this curing machine showed up at my door… I was genuinely excited! 🥹

As a handmade artist, anything that can make my workflow faster without compromising the finish immediately gets my attention.

So of course, I had to put it to the test with my pressed flower earrings. 🌸

Freebie? YES.
Excited? VERY.
But the real question is… does it actually work? 👀

Follow along for the next reel where I put it through my real TalkingThyme workflow!

This is what “shop small” looks like. 🥹🤎

A market season full of conversations, connections, and these little moments—handing over something I made with my own hands to someone who chose to take it home.

Every purchase from a local market means so much more than a sale. It keeps a small business going, supports handmade art, and gives me another reason to keep creating. 🌿✨

If you’ve ever stopped at my table, bought something, shared my work, or sent someone my way—thank you. You’re part of this journey. 🫶

And if you see TalkingThyme at a local market this season… come say hi! You might just find your next favorite handmade piece. 😉

This reaction is exactly why I do what I do. 🥹🤍

After weeks of preserving Abee’s wedding flowers and turning them into different keepsakes, she and her husband finally saw everything together at pickup.

The flowers they carried on their wedding day… now transformed into pieces they can keep forever. 🌸

Brides, don’t wait until after your wedding to think about your bouquet. Make preservation part of your wedding planning and even add it to your bridal registry. ✨

Plan ahead. Preserve intentionally. Keep the memories forever.

DM “PRESERVE” to start your flower preservation journey.
