It's Beginning.........

Guess what?!?! It's that time of the year again. The Holiday Season is fast approaching, and we are well on our way to updating the store with lots of new Christmas Decor!!! :)
There are SO MANY great "looks" this season. Here are some photos of just a few...

We have styles all accross the board from retro to modern, and cute to sophisticated.
The beauty of it all is that we aren't even finished putting them all out yet....so there is much more to be discovered!
That being said, we are still in a mess at the shop now....so be prepared to shop from boxes for a few days yet as we scramble to finish what we've started! :)
I'm actually having a difficult time deciding which look I like the best.
I guess I'll just have to wait until it's all out in displays before I do my judging.
However, things are beginning to sell quickly....so I'd better grab what I want quickly as we don't keep backstock!
What you see is what there is at Grandiflora. I've had to learn to grab what I want when I want it the hard way.
All that being said, there is still plenty of good stuff to choose from here....but don't wait too long to come in and see what's up!
Check back soon to see the second installment of Holiday Decor photos!
Thanks for stopping by!

I Have Something to Show You! :)

Hi everyone!
I thought it might be fun to share some "behind the scenes" photos from Grandiflora that you might not have been able to see unless you made it to the Craft and Antique Show this past weekend in Lynden.
I'm Trisha.
One of the owners at Grandiflora.
I LOVE to take photos of the fun stuff we do for Grandiflora.
This week we are going to make an ENORMOUS MESS at the store getting ready for Christmas Decorations!
Yes, it's that time already!!!
So, for the meantime, I'd like to invite you to take a peek at some great Craft Show Photos over at my personal blog:
Trisha Brink Design
I think you'll have fun poking around through some of the great photos there.
We will be working hard to bring out Christmas as fast as we can, but it can take in upwards of 2 weeks (day and night)!
As always,
I'll be wielding my camera,
capturing all the fun
to share with
YOU!
Thanks for being such great blog readers,
we truly appreciate you!

We are so excited to let you in our booth to see all that we've been collecting, crafting, and gushing over these past few months!
I think you will be blown away with all the great ideas, inspiration, and fun.
I know I've already caught the fever...and so has everyone else at the shop!
On top of all this, we have been getting shipment upon shipment of new things for the store.
Which is GREAT, since so much has been going out!
We've been busy here the last few weeks. It's been so fun to see all the new fall items transform the shop in such a great warm and cozy way.
You just never know what you'll find!

Well, that's it for now.
