The Blossom Shop
Blooming Moments, Beautifully Delivered.
Serving Carleton Place Since 1980
The Blossom Shop has been a proud part of Carleton Place’s downtown since 1980, delighting the community with fresh flowers, heartfelt service, and creative floral design. Founded by Yvonne Kilpatrick, who emigrated from England in 1967, the shop began as a leap of faith inspired by her husband’s experience in the wholesale floral industry. What started as a new adventure quickly bloomed into a beloved local business.
Yvonne’s dedication to her craft led her to Guelph University in 1981, where she graduated top of her class in floral design—not once, but twice. While she was invited to return for a second year on scholarship, Yvonne chose instead to grow her business, and The Blossom Shop continued to thrive.
Over the past four decades, the shop has become a local landmark, having operated from three downtown locations before settling into its current home over 27 years ago. Through every bouquet and every bloom, The Blossom Shop remains committed to offering exceptional service and top-quality flowers for all of life’s moments.
Let The Blossom Shop be your first choice for flowers.

A Bunch of Whimsy
Everyone needs a Bunch of Whimsy in their lives
A Bunch of Whimsy or ABW is a boutique style website, and retail store, which offers a variety of items from handcrafted to vintage items and antiques.
ABW is the collaboration of Amber and Aileen. We are artists and resellers in the Carleton Place area.
Our vision is to have a location where vendors can sell their wares at a place that is open 7 days a week from 10:00 to 5:00. A less stressful location than selling things at a market or craft show. We have so many wonderful vendors from the area, and other parts of Canada, who have joined with us in store and online.
Check our website and social medias to keep up to date on events, workshops and just awesome things happening at A Bunch of Whimsy!
