Early 2005, I opened the doors to Trinkets & Roses ~ a boutique florist and homewares store. This blog, is in part a tribute to this corner of my life. Today I make floral arrangements and jewellery pieces for my online boutique & In.cube8r at Brunswick Street, Fortitude Valley, Brisbane QLD. I enjoy writing about life and flowers and also run a cosmetics counter. Along with being a qualified Florist, I completed a Bachelor of Arts in Special Education when I was in my twenties. My writings reflect my interest in human behaviour, especially finding purpose and motivation for behaviour. "Live out the deeper dreams of your heart with pure intent and beauty will grow in you and what you do".
~Janmaree
"My dreams are like ornaments sitting on a shelf, I wish to take them down and see each one come to life. Oh how wonderful it would be to see them walking side by side with me. I would look at each one, smile and say, we made it!" ~Janmaree {photograph by Lucas Allen}
I made...
wedding settings with sweet roses and butterflies
"flowers are sprinklings from the heavens"

We Are...
We are what we have seen, We are what we have felt, We are what we have sensed, We are what we have heard.
We really are an accumulation of E V E R Y T H I N G That has been in our lives.
Every moment that has past Has brought you to this present moment, To the circumstances you find yourself in.
You must then, choose your moments carefully For surely you are building to another place And have some idea of where you are heading, It doesn't feel like you know but you do.
Listen, listen to the quiet, the answers lay in that Bare, yet to fruit corner of the garden. You are right in saying, "there is more to life than this!".
~Janmaree {I wrote this on my mobile phone travelling to Central Station by train. The thoughts sat there for some months before I decided to publish them here in May 2009}
"He who desires beautiful roses in his garden must first have beautiful roses in his heart"

"Encouragement is the light suspended in my soul" ~Janmaree {I wrote this after being encouraged by the words of my friend, Nicole at Hot Toffee to write a little book, how delirious I felt after receiving such encouragement ~ I have since commenced writing my first little book.

"flowers are little pieces of hope that pop into our view just when we need them to"
