Busy Days!!

Well, my "once a week" post kinda slipped already, LOL ..... but I have a really good excuse!
We have been Slammin' Busy here! Which is a wonderful thing, but it sure doesn't allow much time for bloggin'. (or bookwork for that matter...uhhhhgggg)

Last week we were busy with 2 local proms on top of our regular every day stuff, and that kept us hoppin'!! Corsages are fun, and I sure do love making them special and pretty for all our kids, but they sure are time consuming :)
This week we'll be busy with our Hometown prom, 2 weddings, the Vietnam Memorial, and parade arrangements for Loyalty Days.... can you say ESPRESSO!!! :) Honestly, though, we really do love it... and it is such a rush of accomplishment when we get through busy weeks like this!

Next week brings Mother's Day and the rush of beautiful springtime arrangements delivered to proud mama's all over town. The flowers are all ordered and are scheduled for delivery Next Tuesday Morning. Be sure to get your orders in early for pick of the crop!

This years special will be our "Spring Garden" bouquet, which features Roses, Alstromeria, Gerber Daisies, and beautiful, fragrant Stock in a Terra Cotta pot. You choose mom's favorite colors and we'll make it beautiful! We will also tuck in a packet of seeds for mom to plant when her flowers fade. Our Spring Garden bouquet will start at just $30 and we'll post pictures of this darling bouquet soon. :)

Be sure to check out website www.toledofloristandgifts.com for more ideas to show mom your love this Mothers Day.

Until next time!
Have a Bloomin' happy day!

Hi!
Welcome back to our blog. I am going to attempt to try my hand at blogging once again.
I am providing full disclosure...... I know I am a failed blogger. :( It's so hard to find the time to post, but to my great surprise.... and I do mean GREAT, WONDERFUL, HAPPY surprise!!! I have had a couple of people tell me recently that they were disappointed that I hadn't been keeping up on my blog! So here we go! I will make a very HONEST attempt to post at least once a week.

We do have some new and exciting things happening here!
Some of you may know that in January we put in a cooler up at JC Market here in Toledo.
This has proven to be a WONDERFUL move! We've been thanked numerous times by our customers for making this available for after hours pick up and sales. You're VERY welcome :)
Just one more way for us to make sure that we're available to serve your floral needs. :)

One last tidbit for this post and then I better get busy.....
We are VERY excited to announce that we have found a new program to purchase our Roses and we will be able to offer a weekly special at a great bargain! Stay tuned for details. Our first shipment came in yesterday so I need to make sure that the quality meets my standards first.

Wishing you all a happy day!

Kim

Happy New Year!!!

Wow! I can't believe that I didn't get any more posts in during the month of December. :(
It was a wonderfully busy month for us and for that I am SO grateful... unfortunately, it didn't leave me much time for blogging and contests. Between Basketball games and the shop... I ran my booty off all month... I had every intention of having some Christmas centerpiece give-aways like we did during Thanksgiving.... but time just got away from me. I'm definitely not complaining, though!!

I Do have some fun ideas for Valentines Day... I'll get a head start on those and make SURE that they are implemented before it sneaks up on us, though :)

At this time, I would like to thank ALL of my wonderful customers for your continued support of our little business. It truly is a blessing for me to be able to offer our services to you.

Here's to a wonderful, prosperous 2010. I wish all of you the best in this upcoming year.

Cheers!

Getting Ready for Christmas!!!

Well, What do you think of our Fantabulous new look? :)
It was a fun**and exhausting** Wednesday night here at the shop as we made our transformation for the Christmas Season. We had a BLAST and worked our booties off WAY past my bedtime :)
A HUGE, HUGE THANK YOU!!! to my new friend Michelle, her mom Linda, and Annette for all your help!
Michelle has such wonderful visions, and did a great job directing us... We've re-named her the "Glitter Queen!" :) Thanks Michelle!!

I also promised last week that I had some more fun give-aways for my blog readers.
It was a little bit crazy this week and I didn't have time to get them posted but I'm still planning on it. As you know, Thanksgiving is just a week away!! So I've decided that I'll give away 2 Thanksgiving Centerpieces to 2 lucky readers... Just like last week, you must leave a comment on THIS post to be eligible. I know some of you were and still are having trouble with leaving posts. I'm not exactly sure what the issues might be, but if you are having trouble, just send me an email and I'll be glad to help you.
Please leave your comment by Monday November 23, 5PM. I'll draw the winner and post them Tuesday morning. :)
Don't forget to leave me your contact information. :)

Time to put the flowers to bed and go home to see my hunny since it was past HIS bedtime when I got home last night too.

Have a great evening.
Kim
