Please welcome new member Spark + Bloom to the Airdrie Chamber of Commerce!
Tropicals • Candles • Home Decor + More!
20 years ago Krysta and Ally would barely look at each other, arms folded staring out opposite windows as their moms laughed telling them one day, they would be best friends like them, pppfffffttttt!!!! . . . Turns out, moms really do know everything!
Here they are now, after working in the corporate world for 6 years together, owned and grew their business for 5 years before selling late 2019 and NOW - they have merged their passions, because together they are magic, together they are Spark + Bloom.
We very much enjoyed the "Beautification" of Spark + Bloom at our Rural Women in Business Conference in June.
