General Info

Florilegium began in 1992 in an 8′ x 10′ booth at an antique mall in Madison, Wisconsin. Our specialties were antique textiles, beadwork, embroideries, crazy quilts, ribbon, buttons, lace, and everything floral. But, the textiles were my favorite part. Slowly, new yarns, canvas, ribbons and beads began to creep in. It became a treasure trove of everything I loved. In 2004, after twelve fairy-tale years in Madison, we moved to Kansas City, Missouri. Here we responded to an increased demand for yarn, ribbons, beads and IDEAS. People began coming to Florilegium for inspiration. Every day they asked “how did you do that” or “where do you come up with all these ideas?”. So, after nine years, I decided to answer those questions in a new way. This website is the result. Here we will offer unique ideas and projects I have designed with custom-made materials you won’t find elsewhere. At Florilegium we "Fuel your Creative Fire". Open Thur-Sat, Sun-Wed by chance or appointment.Florilegium began in 1992 in an 8′ x 10′ booth at an antique mall in Madison, Wisconsin.
