Last night Robert and I went to this rare gem of a place and had the best night. So much so we’re taking Robert’s dad and sister there next weekend. When you find something this good you just want to share it! Run by Natasha and Sean, both creative, talented people who were a lot of fun. The love that they have put into their business is obvious from the moment you walk through the door. Log fire burning, soft candle lighting, quirky and stylish decor - they have created an ambience that immediately makes you feel at home and if that doesn’t their welcome most definitely will.

Food and flowers go hand in hand in my opinion. If you are looking for beautiful flowers for your home, for a gift or for a special occasion from an experienced florist there is no one else who will provide you with more stunning, natural and seasonal flowers than the talented Krystal @ Snowberry Botanials, who now has a store back on Main Street, at Rural Commons in Erin.
