    I love everything Whitney & Barbara create, but most recently I purchased the phone case! The gorgeous colorful designs are vibrant and stands out among all the generic cases! I have received so many compliments and as a mom with kids that touch my phone, the case is very durable! Inspired Floral Designs is my go to when I am looking for that special gift. - Jackie O'Neil, Boston MA

    Inspired Luxury Candle

    I use scented candles a lot…Dyptique and Nest being favorites, that is until now! The Amber Vetiver candles from IFD is now my new favorite! The fragrance is amazing…strong but not overwhelming, it is a 2 wick candle, it is 12.7oz vs 6.5oz for other brands…what are you waiting for? Order this now! - Elayne Aschkenes, Boca Raton, Fl

    Floral Symphony Scarf

    The scarf is beautiful. I love the intense color and the gorgeous painting that you created for it. The fabric you are using feels light and luxurious. Also, It was fun to discover the cute bag that contains the scarf. It was like getting a present. The bag is also a sign that this scarf is something that you, as the maker, care enough about, that you want us, the wearers, to treat it with the same care. I also appreciate the card inside. Along with the attractive image, the fact that buying one of your scarves will have an impact on the futures of people in sub-Saharan Africa, makes buying one of these more than just adding something lovely to our wardrobes, but also an act of social responsibility. All in all you have created a very classy product. Well done! I am once again in awe of your talents. - Farrel L. Los Angeles, CA

  • Floral Greeting Cards

    I have purchased at least two packs of Whitney's flower cards and I love them. They're stunning.  And perfect for any occasion or if you just want to say hello and let someone know you're thinking about them. You'll want to start sending notes to everyone! Even the packaging is beautiful. So Whitney. -Marianne H. NY
