Paper and bows...

Oo, check out this gorgeous, crafty wedding:

DIY Wedding - Style Me Pretty

Isn't it beautiful? We love that bouquet! The cupcakes! The cake topper! Papery goodness. Swoon.

Happy New Year!

Happy 2011 everyone! Was your New Years Eve a knockout?

Well, we're back open and ready for business. And you know what's next- can you hear the Jaws music? We're 6 weeks out from the big day! The V word. All that red and pink. I'm talking Valentines. And you know we're already taking preorders, so don't get left behind!

I misspoke (typed) the other day. It has not slowed down. Which we're glad for!

Dropping in real fast to remind you today is the last until after Christmas for you to pick up your free bouquets with the certificate!

Okay! Back to centerpieces!

Catching Up with Christmas

Whew! We know it's been awhile since we've posted. That's because well, Thanksgiving happened and then the grave blankets came in and then we were overwhelmed with daily orders...wow. What a crazy few weeks!

In the meantime, Pam had a beautiful wedding:


Soft pink hydrangeas, with white roses, pink spray roses and pink hypericum berries and touches of silver wire wrapped throughout the flowers and around the stems. Gorgeous.

Are you guys ready for Christmas? We can't wait! Our poinsettias are quickly leaving the shop and the days are dwindling down. We're featuring three Teleflora bouquets this year: the Candy Cane Present,
Have a Ball & their way too cute Mixing Bowl Bouquet embellished with gingerbread men.

The first part of Christmas is part of our busiest season, so the blog should be back more frequently now. Now I've got to get back to designing!
