Shop til you drop

This last weekend was the Seattle Gift Show and the Grandiflora girls went with you in mind. I got to go along and it was amazing to watch their creative brains at work! They spend countless hours, meeting with reps, looking at catalogs, discussing trends, and trying to figure out exactly what it is our customer will be looking for. They do such a great job at picking out things that will meet the different styles and tastes of all our customers.

Lunchtime and more catalog browsing........

Ordering from a new line of product..............whatever will it be?? You'll have to come check it out soon!

Some of our merchandise is cash and carry so we can bring it right home for you - it was a longggggggg walk back to our hotel!

We have boxes galore waiting to be opened and new items are being put out on the floor hourly right now! We are receiving everything from spring florals, wall prints, & mirrors to jewelry, watches, scarves and purses.

It's amazing how a new pot with a fern and some tulips can brighten up your home on these gray days.

We hope to see you soon and look forward to helping you brighten up your home!

New Year - New Look


We're back!! Inventory is over - do you hear the angels singing :-)?, and the Grandiflora Girls have been busy at it.

Bright new colors.......................

New Displays.....................


Lot's of inspiration...............

Come in and see us and let us help you fix that spot that is driving you nuts!! The two most common "trouble" areas that people struggle with are: coffee tables, and mantels! See - you're not alone!

I was frustrated with what to put on my table - I just bought a potted maidenhair fern for 10.95 and added it to what I already had at home and voila'..............

Come on in and get some inspiration - we'd love to help!

Inventory

Yes - it has officially arrived - inventory week at Grandiflora. A huge task in a store like ours, especially in light of the fact that we added a Point of Sale 4 months ago! This task is a necessary evil - but out accountant sure appreciates it!

If you come to the store, and walk into our mess and a bunch of "glazed, bleary eyed" women - don't be scared - WE ARE OPEN FOR BUSINESS.

This time of year is so hard - because the store is obviously looking empty and disheveled.............almost all the Christmas decor is gone, and we're not bringing in the new inventory until we're done counting the old! Don't worry the girls will have it looking beautiful again soon.

Rest assured - we have boxes, and boxes, outside waiting to come in and be displayed for you. Isn't it amazing how after you take down the Christmas decorations, things just look a little bare and sad? This is even true at our house here at Grandiflora!

The best part is - that now - in spite of the craziness - you can get some really good deals!! We have been packing stuff into the sale room like CRAZY - it is overflowing, and if it has an orange tag on it - it's an extra 25% off!!

Come see us, give us a smile, and remind us that this too shall pass!! Working with you, our customers is the best part of this business - the inventory definitly is not!
