Buckets n Blooms

647 S Blackhawk Blvd., Rockton

https://www.bucketsnblooms.com

I recently had the pleasure of meeting with Christina, the warm-hearted owner of Buckets n Blooms in Rockton, and I’m excited to share the details of an event that’s sure to brighten our community in the most delightful way.

On Friday, the 16th, from 1-5 PM (or until supplies last), Christina will be hosting a special event at her shop, located at 647 S Blackhawk Blvd, Rockton, IL. This isn’t just any event—Christina is giving away beautiful floral arrangements in vases, completely free! But there’s a lovely twist: she’s asking that you give these flowers to someone who needs or deserves them. It’s all about spreading joy and making someone’s day a little brighter.


Christina is hosting this event because she wants to give back to the community in a meaningful way. How often do we receive flowers outside of holidays or our birthdays? Those unexpected blooms are the ones that truly stand out and bring a smile to our faces. This event is a perfect opportunity to share that joy with someone else.


Buckets n Blooms is more than just a cute local shop—it’s a place where community and kindness bloom. So, whether you take a bouquet home to share with a loved one or surprise a friend who could use a smile, you’ll be part of something truly special. Mark your calendars, and don’t miss out on this chance to spread some floral joy in Rockton!

Downtown Beloit Just Got More Colorful! 🎨✨

Hey everyone! So, I just have to tell you about this amazing new art project that's popped up downtown. It's seriously something special! They've wrapped five electrical boxes with some stunning artwork, and it's like the city just got a little more colorful and vibrant.First up, there's this piece called "Untitled" by Alison Packard. Alison's got some deep roots here—being Beloit born and raised, and she's a Health and Physical Education teacher at BMHS. Art has always been her jam, and you can totally tell she loves it. This piece is just a taste of her passion for drawing and painting, and it's so cool to see her hobby shine like this in our city.And then, there's "In Full Boom" by Kelly Witte. Let me tell you, this one is something else! Kelly hails from Racine, Wisconsin, and she's got quite the artistic background. A 2010 grad from the University of Wisconsin-Parkside, she’s got a Bachelor of Arts in Studio Art with a focus on Interdisciplinary Art. Her bold style is influenced by pop art, surrealism, and retro imagery—it's just so eye-catching and fun!If you’re curious, you can read more about Alison, Kelly, and the other artists on the Beloit Art Center’s website. I’m just so thrilled about this collaboration between the Beloit Art Center and Visit Beloit. Seriously, a big shoutout to Rockford Silk Screen for making these installations happen!If you haven’t checked them out yet, make sure you do. These pieces are truly a treat for the eyes and a wonderful addition to our city!
