Sowing Beauty



This post will be most relevant to those of you that live near the Boston area--but I think it tells a wider story of beauty that is worth hearing, wherever you may live.

Under the vision of a woman named Teresa Fung, a small, elegant fresh flower design studio named Mimosa set up shop on Pembroke Street in Boston, MA. Mimosa is known for its gorgeous bouquets and arrangements, and has even been recognized on Grace Ormonde's Platinum list, but I think its dedication to helping trafficked women and children is what makes this business really stand out. Mimosa's goal is to try to buy sustainable and fair trade flowers as much as possible, and 10% of their profits go to help women and children who have been trafficked in Southeast Asia.
I'm a tiny bit late for the Valentines rush--but the next time you want to show love to someone, send flowers to your sweetheart (ahem) :), or even think you might take a trip down the aisle at some point soon--think about someplace like Mimosa that offers the world something beautiful, in so many ways.
