Meet Sarah Rushbrooke. (And Abbey the Greyhound.)
Sarah is about to brighten up your day. Honestly, just between you and me, I got emotional a couple of times just hearing her speak. She shares her passion for flowers and how she made the leap from from her “boring career in marketing” to pursue a life as a florist. We chat about living life “as a bit of a scaredy-cat” but still not letting fear make the decisions and about showing up as ourselves online and in our work.
Her business and creativity flows from a foundation of joy and coming home to herself. Her work is truly glorious and she’s inspired by the Dutch Masters, bringing the gorgeous deep and moody tones and pairing them with the frothy, fairy-lightness she adores. I love how she brings both the light and dark together so beautifully, creating something vibrant and abundant and with a sense of depth to it. And her extravagant floral crowns look like they belong on the cover of Vogue.
She was an absolute delight to talk to and am more determined than ever to find my way to Scotland one day just so I can have a cuppa with her in person. Hopefully near a castle.
Have a listen, enjoy and then get lost in the world of Sarah Rushbrooke.
PS: as this is being published, Sarah’s greyhound, Abbey, who we speak about in this episode is at the vet at the moment causing all kinds of worry. Maybe send extra love Sarah’s way as it might just bring a spark of lightness in an otherwise difficult time.
