What's New? Plenty!

Who doesn't love chocolate? Well, all of us at the flower love sweets and these new chocolates are sure to be hit this holiday season in our gourmet and goodie baskets.


People always love receiving gifts of foods and goodies. Add these vinegar and the gift flies off the "elegance" meter! Most of fruit and gourmet baskets are being sent for happy occasions but, of course, a food basket is always a thoughtful gift for sympathy.
Have you seen our new cookie line? These cats and dogs are brand new and are so adorable. We also have many styles of flowers such as sunflowers and daisies. The grapes, bananas, apples and strawberries are so life like! Believe it or not we also have some in the shape of grapes, candy corn, leaves and pumpkins. Added to any food basket, they really bring a smile because they are not only funny but also taste good!

Did you know that we always have pre-made arrangements ready to go in our coolers? Always fresh and always creative, they are perfect for a "dash in and dash out" for those in a hurry. No supermarket looking arrangements here!!
The fall cards are out! Can you believe that Halloween is next month?
Did you know that Kevin and I have been going weekly to a local Farmer's Co-Op? What fun it is buying local honey right from the farmers who harvest the sweet syrup!
We've also been able to buy farm fresh flowers such as these sunflowers!
We not only work with flowers, we live with them at home. If you haven't taken flowers home in a while, what's stopping you? We work hard to give you the best possible flowers and the best prices and we'd love to see you soon!!

This will become his little b...

They are made in a variety of sizes and styles, for example, standard, cascading, traditional, and double wide. Each of these styles has a specific design and flower capacity .
