The pursuit of a passion can often take you in a very different direction than you would expect! Sandra Sigman, the founder and CEO of Les Fleurs (a beautifully French inspired floral home and garden shop in Andover, Massachusetts) learned to appreciate the beauty around her at the elbow of her mother and her mother's work in floral design. She first travelled to France in her early twenties, as a professional ice skater for Holiday on Ice. Loneliness brought her to the flower shops of Paris, and a dream was born: she came back to the U.S. with plans to open a floral shop of her own. Listen as Sandra and Sharri Harmel discuss their shared love of French culture, creating beauty from ashes, and how being brave in the adventure can lead to accomplishing great things!Resources and links in this episode:Visit Sandra Sigman at Les Fleurs, Lesfleurs.comThe Stevens-Coolidge House and GardensStudio Carta, founded by Angela LiguoriVivi et Margot, online French homewares founded by Charlotte Reiss Sharon Santoni, My French Country Home magazine Foire deChatou, antique & flea market For real estate, Aaron Lippert / [email protected], https://www.larochegroupe.com | US: +1 617 821 6406 | FR: +33 (0)7 85 66 72 08Extraordinary Women magazine is the “must-have” digital magazine for women looking for inspiration, tips, and support to create a fabulous business, or just the next chapter.
