Welcome to the very first Flame & Flower newsletter!
WE FINALLY DID IT!! If you’re here, you’re officially part of the beginning and that means everything to us.
Meet Flame & Flower
We’re Cindi and Taylor- friends since 2007 (19 years strong!), both fiery Aries (bold & fiercely independent), and creative partners in just about every way. What started as dressing up for holidays, going all-out with makeup, and crafting just for fun slowly turned into something bigger. Cindi channels her business savvy and tech know-how into the behind-the-scenes magic, crafting jewelry for all-genders with precision and care. Taylor brings the extroverted energy, connecting with our community, building partnerships, and breathing new-life into forgotten treasures through upcycled home decor. Together, we create custom floral accessories!
Flame & Flower was born from years of shared creativity, laughter, and “what if we actually did this?” conversations. Plus, it gives us the freedom to be our own bosses and the opportunity to build something that is beautiful and meaningful.
Our mission is simple:
To create handmade and sustainable pieces with intention and respect for the materials we use and to make items people genuinely love, wear, and keep.
How It Sparked
A few years ago, our friend asked us to create custom headpieces and bouquets for her Halloween themed wedding. She embraced artificial and dried florals, and we poured our hearts into every detail.
The following two years, we started making resin art and jewelry for our loved ones for birthdays and holidays. We experimented. We learned. We got a little obsessed (in the best way).
Then we had leftover materials.
And bigger ideas.
So this year, we stopped saying “someday” and officially launched Flame & Flower.
What We’re Making
Right now, we’re creating:
• Handmade Jewelry (All-gender options)
• Upcycled Home Décor
• Resin Art with Dried Flowers
• Custom floral Accessories- Crowns, headpieces, and botanical adornments for weddings, events, photoshoots, and celebrations
Our First Market!
We’re so excited to debut our collection at:
Forever Found Market
Tuesday, March 10
6 PM – 9 PM
Angry Chair Brewing
4101 N. Florida Ave
Tampa, FL
There will also be a Night Market Raffle, so make sure to enter for a chance to win goodies from the vendors!
This is our first official event as a business, and honestly it feels surreal. If you’re local, come say hi! Seeing friendly faces means the world to us.
Thank you for supporting two longtime friends who decided to turn glitter, resin, florals, and late-night crafting sessions into something real.
We’re just getting started and we’re so glad you’re here with us.
