Y’all… I honestly don’t even know where to start 🥹🇵🇷💐
Yesterday was one of those days that I know I’m never going to forget. What started as a super last minute invitation somehow turned into Petal & Pearl’s very first SOLD-OUT event!! 😭🌸
I’m not going to lie, I went into the day not even knowing if this crowd would want flowers. I was tired, nervous and dealing with so much behind the scenes.. but I pushed through, showed up and did it anyway.
And y’all showed OUTTTT!
People stopped to build bouquets, purchased my little Puerto Rican flags and keychains, complimented my setup, shared my business and just showed me so much love. Nobody questioned the value of what I created. By the end of the event, I barely had enough flowers left to make another bouquet. Like… I really sold out! 😭
Professionally, that meant everything to me because it showed me that people truly understand and value the Petal & Pearl experience. But personally, yesterday meant even more.
Being surrounded by my culture, family and community made me feel so much love. I felt like people really saw me.. my creativity, my hard work and everything I’ve been building. With everything I’ve been carrying lately, I really needed a day like that.
A very special thank you to Rosa and Palo Magazine for thinking of me, believing in Petal & Pearl and making space for me at the last minute. I’m so grateful that I was able to be part of such a beautiful celebration of our culture 🇵🇷
And thank you to every single person who purchased something, stopped by, shared my posts, tagged me, took pictures or simply came over and showed love. I appreciate every one of you more than you know.
I’m still in shock. I’m still emotional. But more than anything, I’m just really, really proud of myself.
Petal & Pearl sold out… and I did that 🎀💖🌸
