It's Wednesday :)

I love sunshine!

Good Morning, Afternoon or Evening.....wherever you are!

Trucking along here through a mostly sunny Monday. I hope you are all doing the same. :)

Iris is on vacation this week (gone to Alberta with the fam!) so Jennifer and I will be keeping things in order for the next 10 days ourselves. Have a great time Iris, if you are reading this! We miss you already...even though this would normally be your day off.....ANYWAY!

We just got in new Compendium cards (one of our best selling card lines) and I've spent the last 1/2 hour or so pricing them and getting them on the shelves. Hurry to check them out...they never last long!

I was just looking at them all to try and pick my favorite quote and share it here, but I can't pick!!!

A couple of my favs:

"Live in the sunshine, swim in the sea, drink the wild air..." - Ralph Waldo Emerson

"Until one has loved an animal, a part of one's soul remains unawakened." - Anatole France

"Happiness is a place between too little and too much." - Finnish Proverb

also.....the one I am buying today for my dear friends birthday...

"Friend. Good." - Frankenstein's Monster

How could you not love these!?

Ok, other news, our special of the week, last week, was so popular we decided to extend it for this week as well.

30% off any candle (any brand) in the store. We have over 15 different candle types so you will find something that suites your smell-tastes for sure.

3pm!!! I gotta go!!

Talk Wednesday.....

Wordless Wednesday......Chandi's favorite flowers this week...

Can you guess them all???

10% off your next flower order if you can!!

(until july 25/11 - not including tax or delivery fee)

Calm before the storm...

Good afternoon, you fine bunch of humans!

Monday again, so quickly....lots to report though.

Last week flew, we received new boxes of pots and vases...and TERRARIUMS!

I have to hand it to Jennifer, she knows how to keep us happy over here, just buy us new stuff all the time! Haha, we have such pretty pretty shells and stones, mosses and sands, pods and pieces, it is truly inspirational.

Did I mention we got Venus fly traps in last week? Iris made the best planters last week with them. Planted very low in a soft blue egg of a vase. She added ivy and polka dot plants to make them extra special and visually pleasing. They are that!!

I've added photos of our new window display this week. The idea is summer lemonade stand. Cute! Check out the new hanging light bulb terrariums. We have the potted up with succulents and sedums starting at $24.98.

Iris is going on vacation next week and then Jennifer after that, so I feel like this is the calm before the storm. That being said, customers keep coming in so I better get off the computer and make some more bouquets!!!

Short post today, but loads of pictures to come on "Wordless Wednesday" !!

Talk soon,
Chandi

Wordless....Thursdays???

...um....note to self...always bring camera into store so i CAN do wordless wednesdays....

July - and loving it!

Hello!

It is a pretty Monday, and I'm happy to have a moment to update!

The store is looking so beautiful right now. I have been away for a week and feel so lucky to have this magical little spot to come back too. I was thinking this morning, (as I was getting ready for work), how special it is to really REALLY love your job. Personally, working in floral makes me a happy lady. Arranging cuts, potting up cute plants and stunning orchids makes my world whole. I love making people happy and their houses beautiful with things that I create with my hands. Anyway, I am excited for the week and seeing all my regulars whom I've missed throughout my small vaca.

Now, on to more important things.....FLOWERS! Peonies are such a killer price right now, anyone near by should really pick some up for your kitchen or living room. They smell amazing and our peonies are not covered in ants like your own garden flowers may be!!! Totally worth the extra gas and pennies if you ask me! :)

Dahlias are also holding their own right now! We have pretty pinks and deeply romantic burgundies to get you started.

Oh yes!

I've been thinking about the hot summer months and the best way you can use cut flowers and get your money's worth. We all know extreme heat makes your cut flowers fade quickly....sad but true. Why not try a bouquet made mostly of tropical greens? They are long lasters that enjoy the heat! All the different greens and textures will brighten up your room for sure, but if you need a pop of colour we can easily do that with a stem or two (or three!) of your choice...like lilies, a few roses, callas or....one of my favorite garden flowers.....peonies, dahlias, scabiosa or stock!

To add visual value and make your arrangement even more long lasting, splurge on a stem of cymbidium orchids that can 2+ weeks! We have too many ideas to list some come into the store yourself and pick our brains!!!

Our "Deal of the Week" is our beloved LUCIA brand products. 30% off all soaps, room sprays and candles. That's a good deal! Come and get it!

Also, to note, I'm going to add some regularity to posting on this blog. I will do my very best to update every Monday and Wednesday. Monday will be a regular posting like this one, and Wednesday will be "Wordless Wednesday". It will give you some ideas and show you our latest and greatest creations we have done so far that week.

Thanks for reading! If you start following our blog and need to order some flowers, give us a call! Mention this post and you will receive 15% off your floral bouquet (tropical bouquet?) or arrangement. (Does not include taxes or delivery fee)

See you Wednesday!
