More Christmas...................................

Don't worry - we won't run out of pictures of our Christmas displays - but I will say - if there were items you were thinking about getting, you'd better come in and see if they are still there cuz' things are flying out the door (and it's not because of all the wind!!:-)




Don't forget, we've got great paper napkins, linens, and Thanksgiving specific items for your table and home decor. If you're lucky enough to NOT be the one having Thanksgiving at your house - do you need a hostess gift? We'd love to help you put one together!!

Keep checking back - lots more pictures to come!!

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?!?! :-)

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!**
