Picture this...............


I love the new colors that are coming in to Grandiflora. This display shows the lovely blue and pastels that are popular right night. Doesn't it just make you want to sit down with a cup of coffee and a great magazine and relax?

We have received 2 shipments of JUST Wall prints, so if you've been looking for just the right picture to hang in "that spot", chances are, we might have what you're looking for. We have received such a variety of styles and colors that it's so fun to walk through the store and take it all in!

So much new stuff, so much more coming...............

Our new ribbon rocks!!



While we were down at market in January, we picked up several new lines of product and they are starting to trickle into the store.



One of the "new" things we received was ribbon! Now, I put new in quotation marks because we have always carried an assortment of ribbon and from the same vendor, BUT this time we kicked it up a notch and ordered a great variety of ribbon in bright, fun colors (the silhouette flower one is felt!) that have a broad range of uses and the best part - all this ribbon retails from .25 to .75 a yard!


Now, if you're a scrapbooker/card maker, you've already started drooling! Picture those on a great page or card, or adding that special touch to a gift bag, or package. I mean look at those beauties!!(and this is just a small sampler of colors and styles, there are MORE!!) You've just got to have a yard of each one don't you think??



Well, to help you out we are going to give away a sampler with a yard each of several of our new ribbons, pretty much what you see in the picture (about a $15 value) to someone who emails us by Mon., March 8th, and simply puts the words "ribbon rocks" in the subject line! Remember our email address is: grandiflorahomeandgarden@verizon.net



We hope to hear from you and enter your name into our latest blog drawing. Spread the news to your friends - we are going to be doing more blog drawings this year, so you have to check in on a regular basis so you don't miss anything!

What's in your lunch bag........

............or should I say, what IS your lunchbag?!?! ☺

Do you take your lunch in a kraft brown bag with handles like you get here at Grandiflora? Or maybe in a plastic grocery bag(gasp!)?

Well, it's time to treat yourself and make lunchtime a little more special!

We've got a great variety of insulated lunch bags - lots of patterns, and styles to please everyone! Some buy them and use them as purses - why not insulate your cold hard cash? ☺ We know more of you are packing your lunch and not eating out - so treat yourself and pick up a classy lunch bag.

We also found these little cuties at market................

We have them in every color and they come in the Large Flowers and the small buds (as seen in the picture above). They are pins you can wear on your sweater/jacket, but don't forget the possibilities of pinning one to a pillow, or to your new lunch bag! The proceeds of these went to help women in Nepal that are victims of abuse - we loved that idea. Come check them out - they are ADORABLE! Don't forget a scarf - that beautiful 2-toned fabric in the backdrop of the picture is just one of MANY scarves we have right now - a must have for your wardrobe this spring!

Hope you're enjoying the sunshine - and when you're done cleaning your windows ☺, come on in and check out all our new inventory!! (don't tell anyone, but we just received 2 more PALLETS of goodies yesterday!)

These beautiful winter days (which look and feel more like spring)with the sun streaming in my dirty windows :-( inspire me to add a few touches of spring to my decor.

Birds are all the rage and here at Grandiflora we have birds in just about every style: short, tall, fat, skinny, ceramic, metal, resin, blue, green, yellow,white,brown, you name it.........

Here's one little unique birdie that we have sitting on our shelves waiting to nest in your home......................

Isn't he adorable?! Something totally uniqiue and different! Don't forget we have all sorts of "unkillable" (is that a word?) plants to add a touch of green. We've got such a great variety - ones that are already arranged in baskets and ready to be put on display, or picks to add to a vase or container you already have at home. Don't forget a cute nest to tuck in and I just love these new lanterns we got in! Just add one of our great scented votives and you've got ambiance! Love it!

Whatever it is you're looking for, even if you just need to come get inspired or ask quesitons, we look forward to seeing you!

Only 4 more more sleeps..............


and it will be Valentines Day!! Can you believe that we're already into the middle of February - I know I'm starting to sound old, but time is just flying by.

Valentines Day is often referred to as "the day that Hallmark made up to generate card sales" - but, it is a day to remind ourselves to express our love for those around us. If you need a little something to give to a secret pal, sister, daughter, mother, BFF, etc., we have some great ideas here at Grandiflora. We have just put out scads of new scarves, jewelry, awesome watches (not just the bangle kind, but "real" watches!), purses, etc.

There are always our Seattle Chocolates that we could help you package up cute - how does "Ranier Cherry" sound for a yummy flavor?!?! We also have a limited supply of "PINK" white hot chocolate, it's white in the package,but turns pink when you add hot water to it. This is one of my favorite flavors of hot chocolate - a little addictive if you ask me!!!!


We have received so much new inventory that if you haven't been into the store in a couple weeks, you really must come check us out. The store is looking so bright and cheery and it is such a fun place to be!!

Remind your husband that you would NEVER be disappointed in a gift certificate from Grandiflora - maybe he could toss in taking the kids so you can go shop, and some money for a latte' on your way!!!!

Need a pick me up?

Here at Grandiflora we have been receiving new inventory like crazy! We love to open the boxes and see new items just like you do!! We have so many fun items that would add a great pop of color to your decor. I don't know about you, but these gray winter (or judging by the cherry trees outside my home - spring?!?!) days I love to add something with color into my decor.

Wouldn't it be fun to have the matches you use to light your candles, actually be part of your decor? This great little box foots the bill!!

If you have a home office, do you tend to neglect it and forget to keep it looking fun and interesting - a place you'd actually ENJOY sitting and working in for a while (even if your work is a hobby:-) Here are a few items to brighten your "woman cave" (sorry I couldn't resist)!


Was one of your goals this year to journal more? Maybe keep a grateful journal? Here is a great journal you'll love to pick up and jot your thoughts in..........

We hope to see you soon - you add a bright spot to our day!
