Alanna's New Arrivals ~ she shares her favorites with Alex

-
Many of our regular blog readers should be familiar with our fabulous and energetic customer care coordinator Alanna! Today I caught her with a free moment and noticing how many new items we have in stock decided to pick her brain about some fresh favorites!

We had a fun "Christmas In July" event last month and showcased some of the awesome new Holiday items we have; one of Alanna's top picks was this unique take on an Advent calendar/Christmas count down! The blackboard in the middle allows you and your family to track the days until "Santa comes," and the best part is, since you write in the number of days yourself you can start tracking Santa's arrival ASAP! Woo!
Just because I mentioned Christmas doesn't mean it's time to lament the end of summer just yet! Alanna loved this playful and summery yellow checkered handbag and so do I! It's the perfect gift for that special someone in your life with a sunny disposition (maybe you perhaps?) and will transition beautifully from August into Indian Summer and Fall.
Speaking of Fall, we recently stocked up on some beautiful Fall home accents! Alanna was particularly drawn to this multi-textured throw pillow with just a hint of bling and linen leaf accents. It's the perfect way to add some autumn spice to your favorite couch or cozy chair, and soft enough for that post Thanksgiving dinner doze!
I don't know about you, dear readers, but the thought of an approaching Fall reminds me of my absolute favorite things--comfort food! :) Alanna must be of a similar opinion bc the other two items she chose were delectable new editable items now at Monday Morning! 
The first is our new line of chocolates by Moonstruck in Oregon. You don't have to schlep to "the continent" anymore for mouthwatering chocolate satisfaction, our friends in Oregon have it down! Multiple flavors (I'm personally a fan of anything involving salt and toffee or caramel..) are available for your absolute eating pleasure..give one a try and you'll be a believer in made in the USA chocolate!
Another great find are these dip mixes! These are not your average dip mixes, they are fresh tasting, easy to prepare and amazing to taste! You just add your own sour cream (and perhaps white wine if you like, depending on the flavor). We did a taste test at the shop and not one person could get enough! With Thanksgiving and Holiday parties heavy on all our radars, a delicious dip that is brainless to prepare is a life saver! We have a couple different options-tomato basil, French onion..and both equally loveable!😜
Hope you love Alanna's fresh favorites as much as we do! :)

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 b...

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. The folks who order them from us are looking for something lush and beautiful with many holiday and winter accents like this one that has golden lotus pods, ilex winter berry, glittered pine cones, red velvet rib...
