COLLABORATION | The Real Florist

Collaboration's With The Real Florist

At The Real Florist, we believe in the power of genuine connections and heartfelt craftsmanship. Born from a kitchen table conversation and nurtured through resilience and passion, our journey has always been about more than just flowers—it's about community, authenticity, and the stories we share.

Our ethos centers on supporting small businesses and local makers and growers. We take pride in sourcing our blooms from local growers and collaborating with artisans who share our commitment to quality and authenticity. Each arrangement we create is infused with personality and care, reflecting the unique stories of our clients and the vibrant community we serve.

As we continue to grow and evolve, we are excited to collaborate with like-minded individuals and organsations who value the beauty of local craftsmanship and the importance of heartfelt connections.

Together, we can create experiences that not only delight the senses but also strengthen the bonds within our community.

Join us in celebrating the real—the real stories, the real people, and the real beauty that surrounds us every day.

Frankly Frankie

My name is Elissa Scott-Young.

I started Frankly Frankie Designs in Covid lock down in 2019

With a small baby, not much to do in between being stuck at home alone I needed to get creative and fill a void.

The business started out in my kitchen then into a spare room, to building a home and a room, just for me!! Which potentially will need a new space one day!

My ever growing and changing business keeps me busy enough that I can be both happy and also present for my family.

The name Frankly Frankie Designs came from me being extremely sick pregnant saying one day in the shower "Frankly Frankie.' (Frankie is my beautiful daughters name).

Table Top Pots

Kerrie began her love of ceramics at secondary school and completed an arts degree majoring in Ceramic Design in 1989.

She has been producing tableware, exhibition pieces and commissions ever since, and continues to grow and refine her techniques to expand her repertoire.

Kerrie’s strength has always been wheel throwing, with a strong emphasis on form and function. She loves to make items that are both functional and beautiful.

Kerrie’s studio is a wonderful 100+ year old shearing shed on her family’s farm. Also located at the studio is her caravan shop, where a selection of her pottery is available to purchase.

Kerrie loves connecting with other local businesses and collaborating to develop products to suit their needs.

Feather's Hair & Wellbeing

My journey in hair began back in 1996, with an apprenticeship right here in Albury. Since then, I’ve been lucky to work alongside some amazing senior stylists across Australia and overseas. While travelling—from Ireland to the wild beauty of Canada—hairdressing was always with me, along with a growing love for essential oils and all things natural.

In Banff, Canada, I discovered the Aveda range and fell in love with those gorgeous, grounding scents and their plant-powered benefits. That’s where the seed was again planted for something more holistic.

Now back in Albury, I’ve worked with some incredible, inspiring people, and after years of learning, dreaming, and creating, I have my own signature range .

It’s about slowing down, reconnecting, and feeling good in your skin. I craft handmade bath soaks, body oils with organic polish, and soothing room and body sprays—all blended with love and natural, soul-calming scents.

Feathers for lightness, beauty, and a little bit of earthy magic.

The Nostalgick Wick

Hi, I’m Keely — proud new mum to my baby Scout and the face behind The Nostalgic Wick, a small local candle business with a big heart.

I took over the business in 2024 from my stepmother and have since expanded into Sunbury, VIC.

While markets were once our main focus, we now shine through our wholesale stockists and local business collaborations.

These partnerships allow us to create custom-designed candles that reflect each business’s unique personality and local vibe — it’s what sets The Nostalgic Wick apart from the rest!
