Merry Christmas from the Grandiflora Girls!

It's a beautiful clear, sunny day with a little frost on the ground - and it's Christmas!!

Soon I will sit down to open presents and have breakfast with my family. I hope that you are enjoying your morning and are counting your blessings as you spend time with Family and Friends!

We just want to take a moment and let you know how much we appreciate your business here at Grandiflora. Your words are always kind and we love hearing our customers say what a treat it is to just come and browse around the store - and that's why we do what we do - to inspire you, give you a moment of enjoyment, and help you make your home into what you envision it to be.

Starting Saturday, Dec. 26th ALL Christmas decor will be 60% off. If there were decorations that you pulled out this year thinking "I just can't put this out one more year" - now is the time to come replace those "tired" ones and give them a proper retirement!

Have a Merry Christmas!

Some great gift ideas

As we draw closer to Christmas, you may - like me, be on the edge of panicking!!

Well, get your gift list out and come see what we can help you find to scratch those last few names off.

These are a new item in the store the last couple weeks...................


Modern Notes makes these and they come in 8 different scents - Verbena Leaf, Ginger & White Tea, and Mandarin & Tangerine, just to name a few. The best part is they are priced at $13.95 and the reeds are only $1.95. The packaging is so cute you will almost hate to wrap it up!!


Another idea for a stocking stuffer, teacher gift, tie on to a package extra........


Our consigner, "The Vintage Dutch Girl", handmakes these adorable pins. They come in 2 sizes, $6.95/sm and $8.95 large. They are a great accent accessory to finish off an outfit. (They are also adorable added to a pillow - and voila' new pillow!)




We're down to the last 9 days.........hopefully we'll see you soon! Don't forget, we will gift wrap any of your regular priced purchases so you can just take them home and put them under the tree!

Psssst...................here's a secret!

Need an extra little lift in your holiday decor? Did you get all your old stuff out and found it needed a little new sparkle? Or, like me - just couldn't bear putting the old dated stuff out another year!

Well since you're coming in to Grandiflora anyway to do your holiday shopping take advantage of the 40% off ALL Holiday Decor sale going on NOW.

Let the girls package the gifts for free that you are purchasing while you browse the sale room and take an extra 25% off the already reduced clearance prices! Believe it or not the Grandiflora girls are already making way for more new and fabulous merchandise which is arriving daily; because after all - there needs to be lots to choose from in January for all those nifty little Grandiflora Gift Certificates you bought ( or received :-) for your friends this Christmas!

Grandiflora is also the perfect place to work on your Christmas shopping list. We have such a great variety of choices to put a smile on the face of someone you love! Home Decor, accessories, kids toys, stocking stuffers, soaps, perfumes, and lotions, the list is endless!!

Come in from the cold, enjoy a cup of cocoa and enjoy shopping for Christmas Decor at 40% off!!

Have a Blessed Christmas!
The Grandiflora Girls

Baby it's cold outside!

Here at Grandiflora we recognize that it is VERY COLD outside, but we also recognize that you want to be warm AND fashionable!

The Grandiflora girls went shopping and came home with all sorts of goodies to keep you cozy and up to date.

Legwarmers anyone? Who knew - legwarmers would come back only better? :-)


Sometimes you just don't want a full glove, but what to do about freezing hands....

We have scarves in every color, style, and pattern....and great purses too!

Speaking of scarves, our girls have been trained, and are experts in scarf tying - not just your ordinary ol' way to wear a scarf - do you know how to tie a pretzel? It's a new fun way to wear your scarf, you must come in and let the girls show you how...................



We have great gifts for hostesses, girlfriends, moms, hey - how about a Bunko party with a scarf theme? We have clutches, purses, hats, legwarmers, gloves necklaces, earrings, great new flower pins, the list goes on.........more pictures next time!

ALSO, don't forget right now - ALL CHRISTMAS DECOR is 30% off at Grandiflora! We hope to see you soon - warm and fashionable :-)!

Buy your glasses at the Lynden Lighted Parade!

Just writing to let you know that Grandiflora is doing a special fundraiser this year. We are selling special Kaleidoscope Glasses for viewing Chistmas lights this season. If you are one to stare at your tree, going to the Lighted Christmas Parade, going to Warm Beach Lighted Spectacular, or just like me....driving through town with the kids to look at lights this season.....then these are the ticket for you and yours!!!

We are selling them for $2.00 each and proceeds are going to PROJECT HOPE FOOD BANK IN LYNDEN. Help us give Hope this season to those in need locally. We have been selling these glasses like HOT CAKES!!!! They basically turn every light into a 3-D Snowflake or Snowman depending on which style you choose. My boys (and any person who tries them on!) think they are the best thing ever....who thought Christmas lights could get any better?!?!?!

We will be selling these at the lighted parade, so watch for 2 little red wagons and a couple women dressed VERY warmly and twinkling with some lights! Buy these and help support a good cause this season. The gift of food to those who are hungry is worth more than any old stocking stuffer....however if you get these glasses, you can do both!!!!!

It's Our Annual Christmas Open House

If you haven't received an email flyer or a postcard in the mail - then you have the privilege of being invited to our Annual Open House because you are reading our blog. The Open House is Fri., Nov 13th & Sat., Nov 14th, but a special invitation has been given to our faithful customers who have signed up with an email address or mailing address in the past, to join us on Thursday from 10am-9pm! There will be hot cocoa, champagne, sparkling cider, samples of our dips, christmas music playing, smiling Grandiflora Girls eager to help you, BUT - best of all - ALL CHRISTMAS DECOR ITEMS WILL BE 25% OFF!!!!

If you haven't received a postcard or email from us, there is still time to email us at grandiflorahomeandgarden@verizon.net and give us your email and we will send you an email with a coupon for 30% off any one regular price item!

The store is looking beautiful and I'm already counting the days until I can pull out my Christmas decorations - what is it about twinkling lights that make one so happy?!?! :-)

Here are pictures of some displays to entice you to come see us.................









We hope to see you in the next couple days - come saunter through the store and get inspired. We look forward to greeting you with a smile and help you pick out those items that will complete your decor for Christmas!

7 weeks and counting...........................

Yes - I'm talking about Christmas!! Doesn't that make it sound soooooooooooo close?
Now, I'm not trying to freak you out or put pressure on you, but just give you a friendly reminder!!

We have been so busy at Grandiflora transforming the store into a Christmas wonderland, that I haven't updated the blog for almost a month!! YIKES!!! It's just a little hard to take pictures and blog about something when almost every display is being renovated. Here are some pictures of the Grandiflora Girls working hard and new merchandise invading the store!!!



But - for all you patient blog watchers - here are some of our wonderful displays! But only a few - I will continue to blog more and more in the weeks to come.

This is a display in progress..............

..........and here's the final result! Of course I LOVE the red!! :-)



The pictures don't do the displays justice. Our Grandiflora girls have been working so hard and sometimes late into the night to get these looks, and you just have to come into the store to experience the twinkling lights and cozy feel!

Hopefully, you've received our flyer in the mail or email regarding our Annual Christmas Open House coming up complete with coupon. IF YOU HAVEN'T - you need to pop in the store and give us your email address, and we will forward you an email with the details AND a coupon. If you only received the flyer in the mail and not the email, we still need to get your email address as this is the LAST TIME we will be sending out a coupon and Sale announcement via US Mail. So, if you want to get future coupons and announcements (only a few a year), we have to have your email in our Grandiflora Rewards Program!

As you look at the pictures and see something you love - remember quantities are limited and things are already flying out the door, so you'd better get in soon to get the best selection!

We hope to see you in the store soon, sipping on a cup of hot cocoa taking in all the beautiful displays - we'd love to help you transform your home into a Christmas wonderland!

****ALSO - we still have fabulous fall displays to help you get ready for your big Thanksgiving celebration, complete with turkey namecard holders, fabulous paper napkins, fall linens, and beautiful pumpkins and florals to complete a tablescape!**

We have been sooooooo busy!

I know, I know, I have been a BAD blogger!! But - if you've been in the store lately you would understand why!!

Do you remember how empty the store looked after our summer blowout clearance sale? Well that is not the case any longer!! If you have not been in the store for a couple weeks - you have to come see. Even if you were in last week - it looks different now.

We have been receiving merchandise as fast as we can, and we still have 2 pallets of boxes waiting patiently for us to unveil their contents!

The looks have changed, the areas have been moved, the product is new!

Here are some great fall displays....................

Wouldn't you love to serve coffee to your friend in this adorable mug?

Don't forget your front porch!

I think this door mat would look great at your front door!

How about some new fall linens for your kitchen and dining room?

We have a new line of soaps and lotions. Since Thymes discontinued their Home line we have been searching for one to replace it that had a good cleaning product. We found one, and you must come check it out! Great scents and great packaging for a great product!


Here are some great Halloween treats for someone special! They are so fun and they are going quickly. This one is full of nummy gummies!! :-)


There's not a corner that looks like it use to, so you'd better come say "hi", and don't forget to get a sample of our White Belgian Hot Chocolate to sip while you shop! This is my favorite hot drink mix that we carry, and it's awesome for the fall, because it turns orange when you mix it with hot water!! FUN!

Enjoy these beautiful fall days!

It's beginning to look a lot like ....CHRISTMAS???

Thank goodness that the weather has been nice - because last week we spent hours starting to sort and plan our Christmas Inventory.

I know it seems really early - (I suggested playing Christmas music while we worked and I got shut down :-), but it's easier to bring it to the store all organized with a specific area in mind.

There are more boxes than you could ever imagine..........

I wonder what these are...........................?

And doesn't this look pretty...................?


Here is Kim working hard in the sun, we finally had to move inside because, belive it or not - it got too hot out there!

Keep your eyes posted on the blog and in the store, because one day - BAM - christmas will arrive!!
