Hello Beautiful World!

It has been a minute, hasn't it?

Here is a quick catch up since our last (Mother's Day) post...

It is now officially Summer. It has been a slow start this year, weather-wise, but the sun is now out and the summer dresses (and maybe in some cases leather shorts!!) are on in full force!

About a month ago we received our first shipment of Air plants (Air Fern, Tillansdsia).
We love them.
We love to make them into terrariums of all shapes and sizes, and tuck them in surprising places maybe you wouldn't think of right away. Popping them in orchid planters, candle holders and even as a keepsake in a traditional hand-tied bouquet! It's really fun, and an easy care plant/gift. Here is a Wikipedia link so you can read a little more about them: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tillandsia

Also, (as always),we have awesome cut flowers. I love this time of year....so gardeny and airy. My favs right now would have to be Dahlias, Scabiosa, Eryngium, Lupins, and (of course) Peonies!
Honestly, everything is so pretty, I could have just listed everything I'm looking at in the cooler as well....the stock, veronica, and snaps are just beautiful right now. How will you choose?!

We just went through Grad season and I think Iris gets the award for making 30 corsages in one afternoon!! All went smoothly though at the end of it, and we thank her for the awesome work!!

We are also in full Wedding season now, and Jennifer has her hands full! As far as I can see on the calender Jennifer has consultations, weddings and events lined up, so if you need us for an upcoming event...call us now to book a time and day :)

Every week this summer we will offer a "Weekly Special"..this week we have 30% off all Dayna Decker products. Candles, Diffusers, lotions and hand soap. They would make a great Teacher gift or just pick one up for a nice treat for yourself.
We will also offer a cut flower special of the week, but this is for in-store purchases only! You will have to come see us to find out what the deal is this week.

A quick reminder that this Friday, July 1st, is Canada Day (YAY CANADA!!) so we will be closed for the holiday and enjoying our fine country as we hope you all will be too.

Have a great week and don't forget to stop and smell the roses.
We all have the time. :)
