October 30, 2007

Welcome to my newly created Blog! What a wonderful age we live in, where we can reach out to the world with such ease.

I hope to provide a forum where we can share knowledge and the enjoyment of one of life's simple pleasures, the gift of flowers. With the Holiday season approaching, it is particularly important to know who you are buying from, how the flowers are handled before you take them home, how much you are being charged for shipping, handling, etc.

Thanksgiving is my favorite day of the year. No pressure, just good food, family and beautiful Autumn weather. I love that most of my family's traditional Thanksgiving favorites come out of a can! Those green bean casseroles for instance, store bought cranberry sauce and jello molds. Years when I really need a treat there is always ham instead of turkey.

Since moving to the South (and discovering Martha Stewart), I have learned that no table is complete without a centerpiece. I did not grow up in a home where flowers were an integral part of the holiday table. I can no longer imagine entertaining without flowers. If you haven't tried it, you really should. Flowers are not just for birthdays and Mother's Day.

At our store we strive to provide fresh flowers, beautifully designed and guaranteed to last. When we send flowers across the country, we stand behind the product as if it came from our store. For those of you who live locally, our cash and carry prices are absolutely competitive with any flower market around, including your local grocers.

Next posting I hope you will tune in for tips on caring for your fresh flower arrangment.

Thank you so much for visiting!

Best wishes,

Cheryl
