Introducing two more sets of Martin’s Exclusives for Mother’s Day!

First we have our wildflower designs, Rustic Garden and Rustic Charm. The larger one, Rustic Garden, is designed in a crackle-finish ceramic cube. It has orange garden roses with hydrangea, mini gerbera, waxflower and solidago. It’s a lovely, informal design with wisps of limonium.

And here is Rustic Charm. It’s designed in a glass candle holder with a metallic cage around it. We’ve used yellow spray roses and orange mini gerbera, with accents of purple montecasino. Touches of bupleurum and limonium give the field-grown look, and a pretty green butterfly adds some whimsy.

(We thought Butterfly Kisses might be a nice name for it, too)

Rustic Garden is 15″ wide by 12″ tall. It is priced at $75, with a Deluxe version available for $95.

Rustic Charm measures 14″ wide by 12″ tall. It is priced at $55 as shown, with a Deluxe option for $70.

If meadow flowers aren’t Mom’s style, perhaps something in pink would be better.

Our next pair is Blossom and Blush.

Blossom is a feminine vase arrangement in a clear glass vase. There are white hydrangea, soft pink gerbera and alstroemeria, and freesia in mauve and white. Pretty, longlasting, fragrant… what more could Mom want?

The companion piece for Blossom is Blush. It’s a very pretty design with large pink Sophie roses and small pink spray roses accented by berries and greens. The arrangement is created in a round ceramic pot with mint green and soft pink polka dots.  How sweet is this?

Delicate pink rose centrepiece

Blossom measures 16″ wide by 16″ tall. As shown, it is $85 (Deluxe larger version is $115).

Blush measures 10″ wide by 10″ tall. It is priced at $60. As always,  quantities are limited!

Administrative Professionals Flowers

21 April 2012

Would you believe that Admin Professionals Day (formerly known as Secretaries’ Day) is now in its fiftieth year? Think about how the job description has changed over the years. Long ago, a secretary worked for one person, took notes in shorthand and typed on a (maybe electric) typewriter. Now the Administrative Professional often works for [...]

New Plants at Martin’s

7 March 2012

Air plants are fascinating. They look and feel like something artificial, with no root. Yet they are living plants, dependent on moisture in the air to survive. We take the plants and submerge them in water for ten minutes or so, about once a week. That seems to be all the care they require. Here [...]
