We love all things sunshine and happiness (you know, unless we’re talking about our hot, black coffee 😅) and what embodies all those things better than FLOWEEEERS 🌼🤩🌼

👉 The first spot on the list is @wildirisflorals! She just opened up her brick & mortar in December - smack dab in the middle of brewery central in North Knox🤩🍻💐 She’s just baaarely north of downtown so pop in next time you’re out & about!

👉 Next up is @knoxflowerco! They’re right on N Broadway before you get to Fountain City & if you blink, you may miss it! But you’d be missing out on a precious lil flower station & other cozy corners tucked in a biggggg ole light-filled room 😍

👉 @cultivateknox is in Fountain City proper & has one of the world’s best combos - coffee & flowers. You can just sit & bask in the beauty while you work & sip on coffee orrrrrr snag those flowers to-go via the drive-thru! Luxury, people, luxury ✨

👉 Finallyyyyy, an @oglewoodave bonus! They’re on N Broadway as well, a tad closer to downtown than the last two. Oglewood Ave is home to more plants than flowers but who can resist that JUNGLE🤩🪴🤩

SooOOOoooo where is YOUR fave place to get that floral serotonin boost around town??💐🥰🙌🌼

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, DOLLY PARTON💕🦋🎤

She’s the patron saint of East Tennessee and we love her to pieces🥹💛 (it’s like number two on the to-do list when you move to East Tennessee. 1.) Find a home 2.) Learn why everyone loves Dolly 3.) Learn when to say “woo!” during Rocky Top)

Here are some ways to celebrate:
🦋 Read a book and get your imagination goin’!
💕 Turn on 9 to 5 or Steel Magnolias & watch the queen in action
🎤 Book a trip to Dollywood!
🦋 Head to live band karaoke at @concourseknox or @knoxboxkaraoke and request a Dolly song
💕 Take your photo with one of the Dolly murals
🎤 Go blonde - you only live once, people 😉
🦋 Peruse some local Dolly-inspired art a la @shoprala or @pariswoodhull or @blissknoxville
💕 Go out of your way to be kind to someone!

How will you be celebrating the queeeeeen’s birthday??👑
