HELLO WORLD!

More than Funeral Flowers!

dsc04850 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 while in the grieving process.  I learned the other day that my dear friend, who lost her son several years ago, initially looked into her shadowbox with the usual grief and sadness – at the beginning.  She was still comforted to have it.  But now several years have passed and she views it with different eyes.  It makes her smile and the memories give her great solace.

Truly, this is an honor for me to serve my customers in this way.

Blessings,

Anne

Rainy Winter Day – this is my kind of January

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!  Even if you only save one or two flowers it will be worth it.

I’m sentimental.  I’ll never push you into spending your arms and legs with me.  I just like to see the bride have something even if it’s a small item.  You won’t regret it!

Blessings,

Anne

Winter Blahs?

DSC04555It 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 17, another fantastic winter day.  The glory of the warmth we are enjoying this year should be enough to inspire me to carry on with my work in pure joy!!!

This, then, will be the plan.

May you have a great day today filled with motivating grand things to do!  Let’s enjoy 2012 together!

Blessings,

Anne

(PS – the flowers above were just part of a bride’s bouquet.  This family did not want too much so just a small box was made with the words to their special song added in the frame.  You don’t need the entire bouquet for a box to be beautiful!)
