Ashley Manning, a lovely woman from North Carolina started a wonderful hobby during the pandemic.  She loved working with flowers and taught herself how to create beautiful floral bouquets.

Then she came up with a beautiful idea, and decided to deliver her bouquets to widows on Valentine’s Day last year.  In just a few months she had formed her own company, Pretty Things by A.E. Manning, and even converted part of her home into a floral studio.

Ashely shared her concept via Instagram and asked her followers to provide names of other widows in their area of Charlotte, North Carolina.The community ended up nominating more than 120 widows, and Ashley soon needed help with her business. People volunteered to help put bouquets together, and several local businesses donated wine, jewelry and more items to fill gift bags to go along with the flowers.

Ashley also does missionary work in several countries, but her program that she named, Valentine’s Day Widow Outreach, has meant more to her than anything else.
