About me

Hi, I’m Paige Shirley — chenille stem flower whisperer by night, Student Welfare and Academic Support officer by day, and full-time champion of smiles!

​

Based in the beautiful city of Oxford, I started making these quirky, colourful flower bouquets to brighten up my space... and then accidentally started brightening up everyone else’s too. Turns out, bendy fuzzy sticks + imagination = joy.

​

I’ve been a wheelchair user since the age of 2, after a run-in with meningitis that didn’t go my way  but I’ve never let that slow me down. Whether I’m supporting students through tough times or hand-crafting blooms that never wilt, I’m all about lifting spirits (with a healthy dose of sarcasm, of course).

​

Speaking of which, my life motto is borrowed from the legend himself, Chandler Bing:
“I’m not great at the advice, can I interest you in a sarcastic comment?”

​

So if you need a unique bouquet that’s guaranteed to make someone smile (yourself included), you’ve come to the right place. Thanks for stopping by, now go pick some flowers!
