Lorraine’s Vision for Bloom:
Bloom provides all women an opportunity for meaningful, creative, safe community within their local towns and neighborhoods. Bloom provides a platform for the gifts and talents of women who desire to create restful spaces where inspiring activities – such as book clubs, gardening, tea rooms (the sky’s the limit) can occur.

BLOOM – n. a flourishing, healthy condition; the time or period of greatest beauty, artistry, etc.
v. to make bloom or cause to flourish, to invest with luster or beauty

My name is Lorraine and I am a wife, mother of three and grandmother of five. I am a lover of family and friends, tea parties, coffee dates, fabric, books, nature, God and all things vintage. I love fashion and sewing. I love creating. I also work part-time out of my home and spend lots of time with my family and friends. I am given to hospitality and host a monthly women’s group called Bloom. I believe one of my gifts is encouraging others. I hope this blog does just that.
