Catching Up

Weeks have flown by since my last post. Valentine’s Day was a multi-day event. We were busy with orders and deliveries all week, as well as lots of walk-in requests. We sold salted caramel brownies by Buttercream, too. The four-packs of small, thick chocolaty goodness were big on taste, enrobed in even more yummy chocolate. 

Spring!
Spring has arrived—on the calendar, in the shop, and even a bit in terms of our weather. It's none too soon for many, that’s for sure. I’ve seen a few people in shorts recently, enjoying the 50ish temps. Snow is slated for tonight--several inches, even—but we know it won't last.

We weren’t open on Easter, but we were plenty busy the day before, with flowers, blooming plants, and other items to delight the senses.

Lyn made this gorgeous hand-tied bouquet with lilies, an Easter tradition. The pink snaps popped.


Tulips were popular solo and in mixed bouquets and arrangements—what's not to love?

A colorful bunny stands out against a gorgeous hydrangea on our front table.
Our front display also featured speckled eggs in robin blue, forsythia branches, bulbs nearing bloom, and additional hydrangeas.
Fun fabric bun-buns in an array of colors kept watch at the counter.
A regular feature, these eggs are birdseed through and through. They're just the right shape for Easter and a welcome treat for returning robins.

We hope spring has gotten off to a good start for you. We look forward to warmer days with more and more daylight. Planting season's near—woo-hoo!
