A pop of color!!

Last week the girls had a booth at the Spring Craft & Antique Show! Their booth was located right when you walked in the front door, and it was so fun to watch people smile as they glanced our way!

Here is why.......................



LaVon has made some fabulous stones for spring! They are at our store, and she took some to the Craft show too!

Isn't this little lady too sweet......................

It was so fun seeing and visiting with so many of you. If you haven't been in the store lately, the girls have been cranking out the new merchandise! It's like Christmas - only without the glitter. Yesterday, I actually took a minute to come out of my office and walk around the store - and now I have a list a mile long of new goodies I MUST have, better get back in my office and work some more!!:-)

Right now, if you come in the store and make a purchase, we will give you a coupon to come back and use the first 2 weeks in April! We've got such great colors and fun stuff to add that touch of Spring to your home, and by the way, Happy Spring!!

Have you been to the Craft and Antique Show?

We're here waiting to say Hi! The girls have outdone themselves in creating a fun space at the show. It's bright and happy - just makes you smile! The color theme is fun and just screams SPRING!

It's so fun to be at the show and watch the ladies shopping and carrying around their treasures, laughing and enjoying friendships. ( I did hear a few patient kids saying,"but mom, we've already looked at this one!" as their moms came back for one more peek).

Remember to let us know that you read our blog so we can enter your name in a drawing.

Enjoy these bright, sunny days, and if your home needs some sprucing up for Spring, the girls at Grandiflora would love to help you achieve that!

Can you say "accesorizing"?

We all know that accessorizing is the key to make any outfit complete!! You can take an outfit you're feeling rather "blah" about, add one new fun accessory and BAM - you've breathed new life into it!! Okay - maybe it's not that dramatic, but I certainly love to add a new pop of color to something drab!

One of our consigners, The Vintage Dutch Girl, has brought in a whole new batch of goodies for the Craft show. Cute new lapel pins, headbands, and new headbands for little ones. You have to see them. I just might have to find me a "little one" to put one of these babies on!

Here are the "grown up version" of the headbands - definitely going to have to snag one these for myself!


Believe me this is just a smattering of what we have in our booth, so hopefully we've peaked your interest enough to bring you by.

Please stop and say Hi, and let us know that you have seen our blog and we'll enter your name into a drawing for a little something special! Nothing like a little positive reinforcement!

Come see us at The Spring Craft and Antique Show

For the first time in years the Grandiflora Girls are going to be at the WCC Craft and Antique Show at the NW Washington Fairgrounds. The show runs Thurs-Sat, March 18th, 19th, and 20th.

The girls have been busier than bees in a beehive gathering and crafting all sorts of wonderful fodder to delight you with! They have been collecting, fixing and storing these beauties and today they will transform them into a booth at the show that you just can't miss! Don't these colors just make you happy?!?!?

These are just a FEW items to tantalize you with. There are items with upholstery, shelves and of course - lots of sweet things to put on those shelves!

I don't thing I need to say a lot more. You know that when the Grandiflora Girls decide to do something, they do it well! I can't wait to see how they bring all these goodies together!


I will be posting pictures of the process of setting up the booth just to keep your curiosity going, so be sure to check back soon!

We hope to see you at the craft show! Come by and say hi - we have a treat for you!

Love + Toast by Margot Elena

Philosophy: Pretty is as Pretty Does.
Catogory: Bath and Beauty

At the heart of Love + Toast is the simple philoshophy: It is just as important to do good, as it is to look good. So it's good to know that with every Love + Toast purchase you are doing both. A portion of every Love + Toast sale goes directly to Regional Affiliates of Girls Inc. We believe there is more than just being a pretty face. Along with Girls Inc., we encourage girls everywhere to be "Strong, smart, and bold."

The above statement is what you will read on the boxes of all Love + Toast products. We "girls" at Grandiflora seem to believe that no matter how old you are, you'll fall in love with Love + Toast!!! The scents are HEAVENLY, and all the products work very well! My personal favorite is.....well, I CAN'T pick just ONE!


Honey Coconut: Sweet Honey, Sugared Vanilla, Violet Sandalwood. A yummy/sweet cozy fragrance. Snuggle, Snuggle!!!


Sugar Grapefruit: Pink Grapefruit, Orange Citrus, Warm Musk, Lily. A sophisticated citrus scent with just a touch of floral. Very romantic!


Mandarin Tea: African Rooibus, Pomegranate, Neroli, Orange Blossom. An exotic fragrance for the adventuress!


Gin Blossom: Citrus Zest, Spring Dew, Mandarin Blossom, Verbena Leaves. Refreshing and intoxicating!


Along with the Fine Fragrance Perfumes and Happy Hydration Cremes you've seen above...Love + Toast offers a few other goodies. Roller Ball perfumes (for your purse) are offered in complimentary fragrances. These fragrances are formulated to layer over your primary perfume scent/lotion fragrance. They come in Persimmon Plum, Honey Nectar, and Clementine Crush. Of course you can wear all the scents alone as well, but it just isn't as much fun! The other opportunity you've got with Love + Toast is the luscious lipbalm! When I say I haven't tried any better....well, I mean it! Not only do these balms smell good, taste good, work good, but they are all natural product as is the rest of the line!!! Lip balms come in Prickly Pear, Cherry Lemonade, and my personal FAVORITE Lemon Mint. Ooh la la....yum diddly scrumptious!!!

Well, we hope to see you in sampling a little Love + Toast very soon....and don't forget, every age, every stage...you are a girl at heart. We Grandiflora Girls welcome you to come and play at our great big playhouse anytime soon! Cheers!

All jewelry, accessories, and product for sale now at Grandiflora...new things daily!
