Our driver, Mike usually gets all the fun – but he was off this week so I got to go on the road and deliver flowers in the neighbourhood. My role in the company usually involves helping flower senders decide how to express themselves. I don’t often get to see the end result! Delivering in […]

Creative Beach Theme Arrangement
Here is a fun design by Shastyna. She calls it, “All Washed Up.” Looks like someone has been walking on the beach, gathering shells and stones. The arrangement is in a large 12″ tall vase. Mitsumata branches form the upright structure of the design. White lysianthus looks as fresh and delicate as sea spray. Of […]
