More than Funeral Flowers!

Anne — Mon, 30 Jan 2012 14:45:05 +0000

I admit it. I love it when someone brings funeral flowers to me. I actually do more funerals than weddings. This is the last connect between a client and their loved one and these flowers are treated with the utmost care. Morbid? I don’t think so. Everyone needs something to hang on to [...]

Rainy Winter Day – this is my kind of January

Anne — Tue, 24 Jan 2012 14:41:52 +0000

I admit, I’m thinkin’ Spring these days. After the last 2 nasty winters I think we’re due for this mild one we’ve been having. Can I hear an “Amen”? That means that your wedding may be just around the corner. Don’t forget about preserving your bouquet. You certainly will be spending enough money on it! [...]

Winter Blahs?

Anne — Tue, 17 Jan 2012 14:28:49 +0000

It would be an amazing fete for me to actually keep up with my blogging this year. At the very least, to post pictures so that you can see the beauty of flowers after they have been dried. I have no excuses………..just laziness when it comes to organizing my thoughts. And here it is, January [...]

Is Life Passing You By?

Anne — Fri, 09 Sep 2011 17:06:30 +0000

Yeah………well it certainly is passing me by. Since I last updated my blog the entire summer has come and gone. Now I’m looking at lush grass which will, not too long from now, be covered in snow. Ok……..enough of that. Here’s hoping you have had a wonderful summer. Just wanted to let you know that Anne [...]

Pretending it’s Spring

Anne — Sat, 05 Feb 2011 16:06:58 +0000

My Magnolia….can’t wait for this to become real again! Just thought I’d put up something “Springy” to make me feel good. I’m cold……..and a bit sick of winter. This picture takes out the sting….if just for a moment. I hope you’re all staying warm wherever you are!

It’s all about the preservation!

How great to save the flowers from the BEST day of your life! At least that’s my opinion……… Blessings, Anne

I LOVE this story!

(clicking on the picture will take you to my facebook page) Think back to July”ish” 2010. What were you doing that month? A mom took her daughter and 2 of her daughter’s friends to a Justin Bieber concert. The place was rockin’ with over 20,000 screaming fans! Picture this: an arena (or whatever) is jammed with human [...]

WHAT’S WRONG WITH ME???

Anne — Mon, 25 Oct 2010 17:07:06 +0000

Click the picture and it will take you to my facebook page! Ok……it’s been eons since I’ve written. So much going on. But I looked in my web-ready pictures to see what needed to be on my website and realized I have not downloaded pictures in a very long time. There are some shadowboxes I was [...]

“Weathered Bouquets”

Anne — Thu, 08 Jul 2010 16:37:38 +0000

When these flowers came I was disheartened. They had been through the mill at the wedding and traveled a few hours to get to me. And they were mostly orchids to boot which made my heart sink even more. I am always honest with my clients. Why lie? If you don’t tell them right up [...]

“The Flowers Look So Real” she said.

Anne — Wed, 16 Jun 2010 14:18:09 +0000

click the picture to enlarge. “The flowers look so real” she said. That always amuses me when I get that comment……..and I get it often. “They are real” I always answer. And it’s true…….they are. And isn’t that just the best? To be able to keep your actual flowers that mean so much to you? That’s what I’m [...]
