… To name a few. How does anyone choose one focus? One thing I’ve never understood is how anyone could ever be bored with how much this world offers to discover. How many skills one can learn.

I’ll introduce myself. I’m Nelda. Thusnelda Florence. One thing I’m awful at is words. I’m just not creative with them. Naming things. But when I learned my middle name, Florence, meant ‘blossoming, flourishing, prosperous’ I thought Florence Acres would work for a flower farm. And since I also silver/goldsmith under the name Thusnelda Florence (my full given name), and sometimes I sew things and sometimes I bake things and I can’t decide on just one thing to do I thought I’d bring everything onto one big happy page and call it ‘Florence in the county’. So that’s me. Nelda. Thusnelda Florence. Wife, mother to three boys, jeweller, gardener, designer, baker, teacher to my boys (yep, they’re always with me and that’s the best part of my days), and just overall, a wearer of many hats.

Welcome! To Florence In the County!
