MINDY STATON
Two Little Buds | Hamilton, Ohio
In 2004, Mindy Staton presented the idea of opening a boutique floral design studio to her parents and launched Two Little Buds alongside her mother, Alice Stone Francis, in their hometown. Originally focusing on creating extraordinary arrangements for special events, the business grew quickly, soon boasting two storefronts and, ultimately, cultivating their own varieties.
“Giving yourself a little time to appreciate something that doesn’t move as fast is very important.” —Mindy Staton
