"Molly Williams is a born and raised Midwesterner living in New England.

She is constantly trying to find ways to make her two passions, writing and floral design, intertwine. Illustrator and pattern designer Miriam Bos comes from the Netherlands. (Interesting trivia: Her last name is Dutch for ""forest."") Miriam loves creating art that brings a smile to your face. A big lover of nature, Miriam lives in Apeldoorn, a city that is surrounded by forest (""bos"") and heide (""heath"")."
