The Rusty Daisy Gift Co. Story
In this episode, Amanda sits down with Mandy, the “unapologetically real” florist and founder behind The Rusty Daisy Gift Co. in Daysland, Alberta. What starts as a conversation about running a floral and gift shop quickly blooms into a heartfelt discussion about figuring it out: motherhood, small-town business, and building a true sense of community.
Mandy shares how her “village” helped her balance entrepreneurship and parenting, why loyalty matters in rural business, and how she’s built a store that’s as bright, cheeky, and down-to-earth as she is.
If you’ve ever wondered how small-town businesses keep going through all the pivots and plot twists, then this one’s for you!
