Party Centerpieces

We had the honor of creating centerpieces for a Christmas party this past Friday, and the main arrangement turned out so pretty I couldn't help but share:



Isn't it gorgeous? Lime greens, reds and just a touch of orange to bring out the ornaments in her tree. Amaryllis, orchids, alstromeria, roses, hypericum berries, poms...

Holiday Hours:
We will be closed Christmas Day (Saturday) and closing early on Christmas Eve (Friday). There's still time for orders! Stay warm and have a merry Christmas everyone!

More on Grave Blankets

Whew! I managed to catch a shot of one of our custom grave blankets before they ran out to the cemetery with it.

This blanket has green glitter leaves with ornaments and red bows with gold & green accents. The blanket accessories are $10 for each set, whether you choose silk poinsettias, nicer bows, pinecones and/or ornaments.


We always love pinecones! :)


Another lovely option, velvet bows....


And don't forget about wreaths! Wreaths are great for the cemetery, as well as for your home. And we would love to customize them to your preferences. But be quick, we're almost out of everything!

Grave Blankets

As I mentioned in our last post, we're busy getting grave blankets out! While they boys have managed to run with all our fancier ones before I snapped a picture, I do have one of our standard ones:

I'll try to grab a snapshot of one before they take it next week and I'll definitely post it on here to show you!



We have a lot of people ask what grave blankets are and what they look like. Grave blankets are essentially Christmas greenery on a wire backing. They cover the graves for the winter months (most local cemeteries allow them for December and January). We build our standard ones with four smaller bows and one large bow in the center.

If you're interested in upgrading your blanket, we have several options for $10 each option. We offer silk poinsettias, Christmas ornaments, pinecones and velvet bows.

Another option is to place your order on a standing order here at the shop and we'll take care of it for you every year. You can cancel at any time and we send out confirmation cards each year before actually charging for the order.

But be sure to order quick if you haven't yet! Grave blankets move really fast at our shop, but we do have a few left after our standing orders. We'd love to hear from you!

What a lineup!

We've got quite a lineup going on right now! We've got grave blankets going out, holiday wreaths being made up, poinsettias shipped in....whew! We'll be showing you pics of all these in the coming weeks, but they're ready to go now if you want to call or come by!

In the meantime, I wanted to take a minute and show off these gorgeous Limbo roses we got in this week. They're a beautiful yellow-green. Aren't they lovely? And so unique!
