A couple of weeks ago I featured Weathered Nest in the town of Mill Valley in Marin County on 52 Pick Up. While I was there I also stumbled upon this great small flower shop just around the corner. It’s tucked away on a quaint little street next to a beautifully picturesque creekside, adding fragrance to the air along with the smell of fresh redwood trees the area is known for. You can’t help but notice the vibrant pop of color and the smiling faces of the artists who are clipping away preparing unique floral arrangements at this charming, intimate location. Along with the classics, they offer a wide selection of unusual flowers as well, some I’ve never seen before. I decided to dig in and learn a little more about the story behind this florist.

Mill Valley Flowers was bought in 1990 by Annabella Eriksson and her husband Lars. After 20 years working as a nurse, Annabella decided to follow her true love and passion and pursue a business of her own. Over the past 23 years, Annabella and her designers have been making and designing beautiful bouquets and arrangements for their customers. Check out their website or Instagram page for more examples of their work.

I really like small shops like this. It gives character and charm to the town they’re in and I’m sure the local community must love having Annabella and her shop around as well.
