Summer Sale-a-bration! Check it out....

It's Official-Summer is ALMOST here!
June 21st, Summer will officially start! It has been a wet, windy and grey few months and we are all READY to embrace summer! In celebration of this event - we are having a Summer Sale-A-Bration beginning Tuesday, June 21st (the first day of summer) - continuing through Saturday, July 2nd!

If you haven't been in the store lately - you just might not recognize it! Things have changed and shifted. We are gaining an office, which you can read about on our previous post, and the displays all look new and fresh! We love to pass savings on to you, our valued customer!

We hope to see you in soon!

Keep Moving Forward.....

Just one of the new changes that has occured at the shop lately...
If you havn't been in the store for the last little bit, you may not know about the moving around that we are doing lately.
Grandiflora has some
New Plans
which will be happening
i n

s l o w

b i t t y
s t e p s.
The first in the steps was to clear out the "red room" at the top of the stairs and move all the product from that room into the rest of the shop.

What a chore!
Our poor visual display team is exhausted from all the work....but leave it to them to rise to the challenge and super-exeed the task and make things look
 SO LOVELY!
So, are you wondering why the "red room" had to go???
I'll tell you.
We NEVER expected to get THIS BIG...& frankly we plan to grow even more
....eventually...

SO,
we NEED an OFFICE;
a
Grandiflora Girl Headquarters if you will.
Can't you just see it?
All us Girls putting our heads together to dream up of all the coolest things yet?
We can't wait!
It will make our store run even more smoothly.
Our bookeepers will now be able to
"come out of the closet"
LITERALLY!!!
:D
We won't have to do our paperwork from kitchen countertops anymore, sitting on step ladders, and talking on office phone calls while someone else is loudly taping up a package.

Please Forgive us for being just a tiny bit selfish...
we have been cramped and shorted on space for over 10 years.
We are looking forward to serving you better with some room to stretch our
"wings".

As Walt Disney himself put it:
“Around here, however, we don’t look backwards for very long. We keep moving forward, opening up new doors and doing new things… and curiosity keeps leading us down new paths.”

We are looking forward...to seeing you soon too!

Gifts That Fly Right Out the Door!

 Have you ever noticed that sometimes when you shop at the store one day and you see something you think you may want to get...but don't....for whatever reason, seems to be gone the next day or so you come back for it? Yeah...that happens ALOT!
Our lovely items seem to "Fly " out the door sometimes!
;)
 We buy "one-of-a-kind-y" things for the shop...usually not in deep quantities. We do that to keep the store fresh and interesting. Sometimes we need to have quantity on items like lotions, candles, and stems of greens. But the specialty items....well that's a different story!
The girls have been reworking the store with much vim and vigor to start all our new projects coming this Summer and Fall.
You should stop on by to say "Hi" and see what all the fuss is about!
See you soon!
:)

Farm Chicks or Bust!

Grandiflora Travels: Farm Chicks or Bust!
Oh are we exhausted!!!
My oh My.
We are truly Shoppers of the utmost kind....thank heavens we are used to spending all sorts of time tending a really great retail store....or I'm not sure if we would have survived such a wonderfully ridiculously wild adventure this past weekend at
We will be back very soon with all the details....but first we must eat, sleep (in a real bed!), and gather our wits about us.
Good times were had by all...and now our poor bodies are trying to catch up with our adveturous spirits!
Back soon with lots of fun snaps and stories....well....most of them anyway.
As the saying goes:
" What happens at Farm Chicks....stays at Farm Chicks!"
Hee hee hee....
