You heard that right you cute chickens!
if you’re from Vancouver and want to attend red dress night presented by Vancouver indigenous fashion week comment below, and we are choosing a random winner to receive two free tickets for tonight!
Well yes… I’m so excited to be opening my fourth business — Little Wildflowers 🌸
This one is deeply inspired by my children, by our story of adoption, and by the journey of parenting a child who lives beautifully on the autism spectrum. It’s a reflection of love, learning, and everything in between.
While it feels good to receive praise, I also want to say this — having this much on your plate isn’t always sustainable. Behind every big dream are people you don’t always see… the ones behind closed doors helping me bring what feels like the biggest vision of my life to life. 💛
I’m so grateful for the learning curves, the challenges, the unexpected friendships, and the motherhood this community has given me. After five years, I can finally say — I found my people. I found my team. And thank goodness for every single step that led here.
To my fellow business owners: you don’t have to be busy to be successful. You don’t have to do it all. Big things are rarely built alone — and it’s okay to rest, to ask for help, and to hold space for others doing the same. 🌿

🌸 A New Chapter — Little Wildflowers 🌸
This November marks five years of entrepreneurship for me — five years of growth, lessons, and challenges that have stretched me in ways I never could’ve imagined, both personally and professionally. and a little healing of my inner child, deep postpartum depression, and anxiety.
Entrepreneurship has pushed me to create spaces and share stories that didn’t exist here in the Campbell River community and this next chapter is no different. I’m beyond proud to share the opening of Little Wildflowers — a space made for moms like me, and families like ours. 💛
Just a few days ago, we celebrated my little one’s seventh birthday, and this year has been nothing short of amazing. He’s been finding his voice, speaking in small sentences, and making beautiful waves in his communication journey. As a mom, especially one raising a child on the autism spectrum, I am creating this space for Ember. I am creating this space for my daughter Charlie to host tea parties and photoshoots.
Little Wildflowers is that place. It’s filled with sensory toys, meaningful books, and .. you’ll just have to wait my sweet potatoes. It’s also a space for fun and togetherness, where we can gather for beading workshops, moccasin making, mommy-and-me high tea parties, or family photo shoots. Truly, the sky is the limit for what this space can become.
Never in a million years did I think the community of Campbell River would come together with this much love and support. It hasn’t been without challenges, but in my heart, I knew this was something our community truly needed: a children’s store built with heart, intention, and a whole lot of ALI LOVE ❤️

Okay friends… we’re calling it: West Coast Wildflowers will be opening late tomorrow. Why? Let’s just say the World Series had other plans for us ⚾️💤.
We’ve also got some secret business brewing behind the scenes 👀, and honestly, this is the perfect excuse to sneak in a little extra prep time for our Halloween Nights event. 🎃✨
So please, don’t arrive at 10 AM — we’ll be recovering, caffeinating, and getting everything ready to make Halloween magic happen.
See you soon… fashionably late! 😉

SALE ENDS TOMORROW AT MIDNIGHT 🤰🍼💐
Well folks’ as I inch closer to celebrating five years as a lunch entrepreneur, I’ve been doing a lot of reflecting, especially as 2026 will mark nearly 15 years post-transplant. I am living on borrowed time and 5 years ABOVE the national average of living with my transplanted kidney.
In this photo, you can see me beaming with pure happiness, it was taken just 7 or 8 days after my kidney transplant. I had no idea then where life would take me, only that I lost funding from my nation due to a clerical error from Langara College. I had been given a second chance and one that would continue to bloom in ways I couldn’t yet imagine.
As my birthday approaches, I find myself thinking about the past five years of building this business, the challenges, BIG WINS, being inspired and learning to creatively pivot and dream bigger dreams with the most deadly team— ever ever.
This journey has truly been like a wildflower along the coasta and blooming in my own time. You can’t always see what’s growing beneath the surface, but even in the cold, quiet seasons, something new is always taking root. 🌿
Here’s to more blooming: I business, in life, and in all the unexpected places we find beauty. 🌸
THANK YOU | use the codes ! Support local ! Drink too much coffee! 😂👯♀️🥳

You ever see a Facebook memory from 2008 pop up and instantly cringe? 😅
The dramatic song lyrics, the vague “is feeling…” statuses — we really thought we were main characters.
But honestly… growing up in a time when young girls were watching One Tree Hill, 90210, Gossip Girl, and spending afternoons watching Days of Our Lives or The Young and the Restless with our grandmothers on weekends — it all makes sense now 😂
Our 2008 Facebook selves were just trying to survive plot twists, heartbreaks, and commercial breaks.
Now we’re in our 30s and 40s, drinking water, going to therapy, and feeling oddly hopeful that the next generation is growing up watching shows like The Summer I Turned Pretty — a little softer, a little more self-aware, and maybe a lot less dramatic. 💕

My name is Ali, I am the creator and owner of Wildflowers & Co.!
Welcome to Wildflowers & Co., we are an Indigenous woman, owned and operated small shop. You can find us along the West Coast of Vancouver Island. Our mission is to small shops along with women and Indigenous people in business. We offer local, high-quality products of women and children apparel, jewelry, home décor, and more!

A little about me…
My name is Alissa; I am from the Wet’suwet’en First Nation and second generation born immigrant. However, I call home among the unceded traditional territory of the Ligwiłda'xw people; the We Wai Kai, Wei Wai K*m and Kwiakah First Nations people in Campbell River, British Columbia. I am happily married; with one son named Ember and a special dog named Bow-the-third. My passions include badminton, hiking, and advocating for living organ donation, registering to become an organ donor, supporting youth in sport, shopping local and low-waste living.
Certainly, we are living in delicate times. Were in this together – as we navigate new grounds under the global pandemic of COVID-19. During this time, my family had time to reflect about ‘the new normal’ and the impact of COVID-19 had on our family, friends and community. I became inspired to open a small shop because of the many progressive women in business that surrounded me. As a result, the vision of Wildflowers & Co. became alive.
Wildflowers & Co. will always strive to support local. If you are a small business owners and interested in having your products in-store please contact thewestcoast.wildflowers@gmail.com!
