I surfed the web, and kept coming back to the photos of Blackbird floral and their bio about being a family run company. Every time I send flowers somewhere it is really important for me to find a florist who is a true artisan and does not produce cookie cutter arrangements. Blackbird Floral did just that. The arrangement was beautiful and very well received by my son and future daughter-in-law. They sent a photo and couldn't stop talking about how gorgeous the flower arrangement was. Blackbird Floral will be my go-to when sending flowers in Austin, Texas. I ordered the arrangement late morning and they were delivered that same evening. I cannot say enough good things about this small company. It was also very difficult to choose and arrangement as their website photos captured so many beautiful options. Thank you Blackbird!! The pricing was consistent with other stand out floral shops around the country. https://www.blackbirdfloral.com/flowersandgifts/p/thenaturelover

A shop full of charm!…read more Raul welcomed us in with genuine delight, offering to hold our bags up front to "free our hands" and encouraging us to touch, feel, pick up, try on, and interact with all the pieces in his shop. He spoke of his collection of artisan goods from around South America with such pride, and it showed through in the beautiful curation of the store. It was full of goods yet gave each piece the ability to shine. It was vibrant and colorful, warm and inviting. SO many brilliant gifts to be found here. Will definitely be back, if even just to say hi to Raul!

There was an incredible…read moreselection of vibrant jewelry, art, and textiles, all of it responsibly sourced with a commitment to supporting the tribes and collectives that created it. A lot of current trends have their genesis in these designs and handiwork, so make sure you're buying the authentic product, rather than a shitty knock off made in China. It's worth making the extra effort, and the prices here are very reasonable. A couple of examples: - Thick "friendship" bracelets, in a myriad of colors - Bib-style, beaded Cleopatra necklaces made from seed beads - Tribal print textiles - Wayuu bags from Columbia (You've seen these - they are the brightly-colored, patterned bags that have a bit of a bucket shape) Raul even took the time to show me how to spot a fake Wayuu bag, just in case I decided to purchase one elsewhere. Overall, an incredible store. I'm headed back to buy a bracelet for a friend who saw my Corocoro purchase on Instagram and wanted one of her own!

Jenny was extremely helpful, and worked with us to ensure our floral needs were met. We wanted coral peonies (a premium flower, so more expensive), and Jenny informed us that the coral color would not be in season for when we wanted it. She worked with us to ensure we understood what we were asking, and how she could accommodate our needs. Since peonies are huge-yet beautiful flowers, she informed us that they would not be ideal for boutonnieres or wrist corsages. She suggested ranunculus (which are like mini-peonies) and I AM NOW OBSESSED WITH THEM! They are beautiful delicate flowers and they worked for boutonnieres more than I could have even imagined! They perfectly suited our theme! We were also able to get centerpiece rentals through Jenny and Texas Blooms, and it was some of the best money we spent! Not only was it comparable to what you would find online price wise, we don't have to store any of the pieces. We also adjusted the amount of centerpieces to lower than the original projection. Jenny was able to work with us to give smaller flower pieces for our cocktail tables instead of the original amount of centerpieces needed. It was very easy, and a relief to work with Jenny to make our small amount of floral needs come true! Photos by: Two Pair Photography

I plan to stop by to visit them tomorrow and wanted to bring them flowers as a Mother's Day treat. They had an assortment of floral selections variegated carnations, roses, peonies, azaleas, to name just a few. One steam ranged from $1.25 upwards. For the quality of their flowers, that was a very good price. I will pop back by tomorrow to pick the freshest ones before my visit. My mother is no longer living. During Mother's Day I try to remember other mothers because to have your mom is such a huge blessing. The senior ladies at Atria are like an extension of my own family. When you do thoughtful for things for them, they just light up, which is heartwarming.
