Yesterday was novel day. For the first time in my history as a floral designer, someone else delivered the flowers. OK, so I practically hugged the driver, and then my delivery rep...
Kind of embarrassing but it really was fun having that part taken care of. I do love seeing people's reactions and chatting in person and that I will miss. But having 2 more hours in the day to design and greet customers will be fab! So here are this weeks orders - warm berry tones (with the shop as backdrop).
An eclectic mix of Naranja and Spanish Dancer roses, plum asclepias, peach stock, allium, and love-in-a-mist - feels like Summer!
Absolutely gorgeous colors and textures! Congrats on the delivery service...when is your wonderful boutique opening? More pics of your progress pleeze :) Take care!

the asclepias add such a wispy, kind of whimsical note to the whole arrangement - it's beautiful!

Hi Pam--I'm so excited for you. I've been following your blog since day One.
I so wish I could work for you! (Remember, I'm a florist too)
But the good news is, after 10 years of being a stay at home mom.....I'm going back to work!
On the first day of school my two girls will head off to class,(8th grade and 5th grade) and I will head off to work.
So exciting!
Best Wishes on your Grand Opening!
