In Anticipation of the Holidays

The holidays are in full swing in the shop!

Our Ontario-grown Christmas trees are brought in from the Sloan Nursery, a farm that has been cared for by four generations of the Sloan family.  We've got a variety of different heights to fit perfectly in your home.  Not only that, but you can arrange delivery & set-up as well!

& look no further for beautiful & unique tree decorations, we have got you covered.  Do you need an octopus?  A whale?

What about a rabbit with glitter stripes?  Or a ship?

& guess what?  If you live out of town, or your schedule is filled to the brim - you can check out Sweetpea's at Shopcaster to order items to be shipped directly to you.

Customize your holiday season to fit you perfectly with less stress.  & if that involves owls on your Christmas tree, then so be it!

Holiday Cards

Have you checked our card wall lately?  We've got a card for every occasion!  But for now, let's concentrate on some of our holiday cards...

We've got Toronto specific cards...featuring both the TTC & your beloved bicycle.

Cards featuring cute illustrated stripey children...

We have ones that are a little alternative & sassy...

We have ones with inspirational & appreciative quotations...

& there are also cards to send 'just because' - for no holiday-reason at all!  The Naturalist cards below are a beautifully elegant way to let someone know you were thinking of them.

The feeling of getting a card via 'real' mail is such a treat.  Stop by the check out our card wall!  It's consistently being updated with fun & adorable cards.

Grinch trees are back!

Hi there, I am a locally grown Golden Cypress tree, all dressed up for the holidays.  Perhaps you would be so kind to take me home?  I sure do like to meet new people so maybe I could be a gift for someone you think is nifty.

Zombie Boy Headdress

Last summer, Kristi supplied Toronto photographer Matt Barnes with a headdress of extreme measures for a photo shoot with Rick Genest, best known by the alias Zombie Boy.

Her creation consisted of amaranthus flowers, feathers, dried flower pods, nails, fishhooks & razor blades.  The final shots can be found at Matt Barnes' blog right here.  Strikingly beautiful.

Sweetpea's On Breakfast Television

We were delighted to have Frankie Flowers ask us to provide some arrangements this morning for a segment on Nurse Appreciation Week. Little did we realize how much emphasis he would place on Sweetpea's itself! What a great surprise. Check it out . . .

Naomi & Damon

Simple and stunning, this wedding uses super rich Vanda Orchids with soft Hydrangea, Vibernum and a touch of Hyacinth for it's fresh spring smell. Naomi and Damon got married at Spencers At The Waterfront in Burlington and the amazing photographer Mike Vinson from VP Studios Photography did a stunning job at capturing this beautiful wedding.

Johanna & Shawn

We have done a lovely wedding for the lovely couple Johanna and Shawn. Sticking with the bold and beautiful colour palette of navy blue, orange and chartreuse the wedding gave off a rich and fresh tone. The photographer TrayC did an absolutely amazing job at capturing the day and we strongly recommend her for any of your photography needs
