What if a simple creative idea became a vocation?
In this episode of The Creative Catholics, Alex Cahill sits down with Cecilia Gardner, founder of Mary’s Bouquet, a business that transforms meaningful flowers into beautiful rosaries.
Cecilia’s journey began in 2020 during daily Rosary walks around her grandparents’ property. Surrounded by the beauty of nature and uncertain about what God was calling her to do, she had a simple thought: Could I make rosary beads from real flowers? What began as an experiment gradually became a craft, a business, and ultimately a way of living out her vocation.
Cecilia shares how flowers, the Rosary, and creativity have shaped her faith—and why she sees making a rosary from flowers as a beautiful way of offering something back to Our Lady.
Alex and Cecilia also explore perseverance, discerning God’s will, finding creativity in motherhood, and the reminder that we don't have to accomplish anything to have infinite value.
A beautiful conversation about flowers, prayer, creativity, vocation, and saying yes to God.
