Fall is Here!

This has to be my personal favorite flower time of the year. The flower colors that are available at this time, for me, are the best to work with.

Have you been in the store lately? We have a large variety of fall flowers here in the cooler. Both loose stems and arrangements ready to go. Be sure to keep us in mind when you need to do some entertaining or perhaps you know someone who needs a little boost. Our bouquets are made with a beautiful variety of flowers from the fall pallet of colors. Special little extras like mini-pumpkins and goards will be arriving soon.

We do have some new gifts in the store. There is a new selection of painted tiles in a variety of sizes and designs. The ‘wine collection’ tiles have been very popular and they make nice gifts. General Store Square Candles are here and they are great! The fragrances are incredible, burn time is 18-20 hours and they are only 2”x2” in size. Great little gift with one of our glass square votive cups! More items are arriving all the time so stop in when you get a chance

Recycle Vase Program

Do you have a shelf in the garage or maybe under the kitchen sink, that is full of flower vases? I would love to help you clear out that space. Bring me 5 vases and I will give you a bouquet of flowers so be sure to keep a vase for yourself!

Flower Delivery Companies

Over the summer I have had to the opportunity to talk with some of our newer customers about how their friends and family have ordered flowers in the past. What I was hearing is exactly why ‘What About the Flowers?’ is here. The companies I am talking about are all over the internet. Pro-Flowers, Go flowers, Bloom-net, FTD, Teleflora, 800-Flowers, etc… The list goes on but very few of them offer the service and quality you, your family and friends deserve. The listed above are strictly order gathers who search out florists who will fill the order for a fraction of the original value. Please have your friends and family call us at our toll free number (866) 875-2837 to place orders and visit our website for their future floral needs and ideas. We have a few other links there also that might interest you or someone you know. www.whatabouttheflowers.com

Our answering machine is always available after hours for direct phone ordering. One of our designers will return the call as soon as possible. Again, our toll free # is (866) 875-2837. Please give this number to anyone who may need a great florist servicing the East Mountain area and we can deliver world wide too!

Notes from Stephanie and Lucy

In November, we will be three years old. We plan to celebrate with our third annual Holiday Open House. November 14 & 15, 10AM to 4PM, both days. We hope to see you here and we encourage you to bring a friend or someone who hasn’t been in our store before. We will be sending invitations out soon so spread the word!

Thanks again for all your support. We wouldn’t be here if we didn’t have you!
