The Bloomin' Becks

The Bloomin' Becks

Story

Story

Bloomin' Becks was an idea born from grief. Our grandmother passed away in May 2024 from a long battle with Alzheimers. During her wake, I decided that I was going to try and preserve her funeral flowers into gifts for us girls. It was something I'd never done before, and although the outcome wasn't fantastic, I realised that I enjoyed the process. I then started preserving the flowers from my garden and making them into jewellery. 

For me, it was something completely new but I enjoyed it so much, it felt as though I was being pushed in this direction. I applied for Christmas markets for December 2024 and the jewellery was a hit. I couldn't believe how well received they truly were, and it was all thanks to our Nanny Bec.

Our nan was one of a kind, and she played a big part in all of our lives. She was hard as nails, rode a motorbike and wore trousers in her teens (for the era this was a no go), she was fiercely independent and worked bloody hard! Her children, grandchildren and great grandchildren, were her greatest gifts. Day or night, that woman would have been there, and we have all suffered a tremendous loss by losing somebody who was just so bloomin' lovely.

We love and miss you Nan.

Goodnight, God bless, see you in the morning
