Stop by Olson House on Sept. 10th to enjoy beautiful art with Emma Daisy! 💐

Back in the Covid days, we did flower shop pop ups on our sidewalk, and a couple of times we brought local art hero Emma Daisy to paint live with us. We’ve been missing those events, so we are bringing back the botanical spectacular to Oakland Ave! Stop by Thursday, September 10th, from 4-8 pm, to immerse yourself in the joy of flowers & celebrate art with The Botanical Collective bringing fresh blooms, and Emma Daisy, who will be live painting and showcasing original paintings. We are so excited, we can barely contain ourselves!
