Kyla Walker of New York City flower shop, Tiny Feelings, wants us to know that floral design is the labor of love she will be forever grateful for. According to Walker, fresh flowers in your home can catch your eye and provide a sense of peace, even if it’s just for a moment— a collective feeling we have all been in search of thanks to the uncertainty of the past year.
Since launching Tiny Feelings in August of 2020, Walker has aimed for her flower arrangements to serve as a reminder to slow down even on our busiest of days. The ritual of sending flowers has not only continued to flourish during the pandemic but has connected friends and family that haven’t been able to see each other in person. Whether it’s a wrapped bouquet of joyful blooms or a larger vessel full of abundant stems, Walker is constantly creating stunning arrangements with recipient cards that read, “just thinking of you and how wonderful it will be to hug you again” or, “hello, flowers for absolutely no reason other than that I love you.” For Walker, “this pandemic really cracked open a part of our hearts that I very much hope doesn’t close over.” And we’d have to agree.
“Celebrating those smaller moments alongside the big moments was at the heart of creating Tiny Feelings, and flowers are such beautiful little reminders of how big of an impact something small can make.”
Living amidst a pandemic has made us realize the importance of the little things and how crucial it is to live in the present. Nodding to her shop’s namesake, she describes these tiny feelings as the intricate, small happenings that light us up on the inside. She reminds us to celebrate even the smallest of victories, and how something as small as a fresh flower arrangement can have a big impact.
And just in time to send some Mother’s Day Feelings, Walker partnered up with wellness brand 3rd Ritual to provide the perfect pairing to gift your mom, or someone special in your life, this Mother’s Day. Made from the heart and hand-delivered in Manhattan and Brooklyn, Tiny Feelings’ Mother’s Day offering includes a medium-sized arrangement alongside 3rd Ritual’s botanical body lotion, MOON. With hints of bergamot, petitgrain, and sage, this silky body lotion is the perfect complement to the Spring’s sweetest blooms, sending your mom all the feels this year.
