A Fresh Flower Monday at the Shop

-
 We love Mondays here at the shop and with a name like Monday Morning Flowers that's a good thing. Although flowers arrive 3 to 5 times a week, Mondays is the day we get lots of our dutch flowers. Take the hydrangea above. We'll bet you don't see those everyday and certainly not in the flower department of the Supermarket! Called Expression they have a star design to their petals and each head is huge! $19.95 per stem.
 We have fallen in love with the variety of mini callas. Called Paco they have the dreamiest lavender coloring you'll ever find on a flower. Long lasting and elegant, we use them in weddings and our everyday floral designs. $5.95 per stem.
 These Starfighter lilies are spectacular! Each stems has 3 flowers that will bloom in succession. Long lasting with an amazing touch of fragrance, only a few stems in a vase will give you 2 weeks of floral pleasure. $6.95 per stems.
 Alstroemeria is one of our staple flowers around here and we love all the colors they come in. We sell these beauties by the stem and by the bunch. With 5 or 6 flowers on each stem and lasting over 2 weeks with simple water changes and trips, it's a real bargain at $9.95 per bunch.
 These cool roses, medium stem with delicate sized heads are grown in South America. With little pops of yellow on their burgundy petals, Hocus Pocus is one of our favorite roses. $3.95 per stem.
 Just arrived 360 fresh Mini Gerber Daisies in assorted colors. We love these little gems both arranged alone in a glass vase or with other flowers. $2.95 per stem
We love this Papyrus that just arrived. A tall green stalk ending in this broom like fluff of greenery, these are fun to include in our high style and tropical arrangements. $4.95 per stem.

Well, that is not all that arrived but that sure is the fun stuff. The next time you want to bring flowers to a friend or treat yourself to a bouquet, why not check out your local florist to see what's in. Step out of your comfort zone and try something new. It's a big floral world out there and as always, I love sharing mine with you!

It's amazing what you can do with 12 carnations and a little bit of creativity. Our Floral Designer Rocio loves making puppy arrangements so here she shares her tips with you! Here's what you will need ~ 12 full size carnations, floral glue, floral tape, a floral container, 1/3 of a block of floral foam and some assorted greenery.  First take your wet floral foam and tape it securely into your floral container.  Slowly start adding the 12 carnations starting with the top to form the head, the ears, the face and the 2 front legs.   Keep going, adding carnations but only using 12 total!  Now he has his 2 front legs, sitting over the edge of the container.  Using the floral glue, add the eyes and the nose. Be creative here. We use eyes and noses for the floral industry but you can use felt, screws or even a pip cleaner to form these facial features.   Next, start filling in with assorted greenery and mosses. This will become his little bed!  Be sure to f

Never heard of a Grave Blanket? Don't worry, your probably aren't alone. Here in the north east is customary to have a lovely "blanket" made from ever greens and winter accents to be placed on the grave of a loved one.  It's just a nice remembrance during the holiday season to make the graveside look a bit more decorated and festive.  According to Ask.com   "A  Grave blankets are a type of flower design that is used to decorate graves. 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 . I chucked when I read that because we make all of our Grave Blankets custom for each customer and no two ever look exactly the same.
