SALE ROOM SALE

Take an extra 25% OFF the lowest marked price in the sale room!

We are getting ready for some changes here at Grandiflora in the next month or two.
(More on that later....yeah...I said later. As in "neiner neiner neiner" I'm not gonna tell you!)
:P
However....in the mean time....
we must make room in the store for new products, new displays, and a new .....
well....that's the Mystery, isn't it?!
The best way for us to make room for more of all the new things we have planned....we must start some inventory reductions.

This is where you come in!
We are starting a SALE in our Sale Room this Saturday, May 21st.
Take an ADDITIONAL 25% OFF the LOWEST marked price at the register.
(All sales final. Sale has an undisclosed end date...oooohh the Mystery!)

It's no Mystery however, that
 there are those of you who love to find a good deal! So now is your chance to take advantage of the best prices in town on lovely items for your home or gifts!

We hope you not only take advantage of the sale room reduction...but that you can also get in on the great deals throughout the store on:
*Florals
*Outdoor Pots
*Music CDs
&
*Candles

Sorry for the suspense folks...but it's just gonna have to hold until we can make way for all the
BIG IDEAS
to
come to fruition
here at
Grandiflora.

We hope to see you in soon while you're out and about...
Cheers!

2nd Saturdayz Double Booth: Part 2

 Oh doing booths is so much fun!
Don't get us wrong....it's sure alot of work too!
However...we love what we do...so this kind of work is always the best kind of work!
This is the 2nd part of our double booth at
last weekend in Snohomish Washington
for
the 2nd Saturdayz 1st anniversary Road Show!
 This booth had 2 distinct looks.
See the previous post for the "Granny Chic" look.
then...
we had this look
I'm not quite sure that there is a proper name for it...but I'd catagorize it as
"farmhouse chic" with a hint of "shabby chic" and a bit of "cottage" too!
Whatever you'd call it, it was lovely!
 It's always so much fun to hear the reactions of folks walking by and searching through the booth for goodies.
Some folks really like the POP of color from the Granny Chic...and others really liked the subdued pastels and creamy naturals of the "Farmhouse Chic".
I personally like to mix the two together!
But,
that's another blog post altogether!
:)
This booth was extremely full...but really fun to rummage throught as there were so many awesome treasures to find.
As I'm sure you can imagine, we didn't sell everything...and we couldn't take everything we had set aside in the first place for this show....
so....
we are slowly mixing the rest of these goodies into the shop in the next week or so.
If you get the chance to slip in to Grandiflora soon....you might be able to score some of these goodies too!
We hope to see you there soon...
you can take advantage of all the great daily specials we have going on right now!!!
Cheerio!
:D

The First Half of the Booth Story...

 Well, it was time for a little road trip.
Vintage Road Show
was
JUST
the
ticket!
Grandiflora was ready for some
COLOR
so
we splashed it up with a little bit of
Granny Chic Retro Goodness
on one half of the booth...
 .....it was so wonderfully cheerful!
 We had SO much fun setting this look up...I mean c'mon....how wouldn't you???
It's like being a little kid again!
So many fun memories wrapped up in this look, and all the young girls are lovin' it as it's all new to them!
The older crowd just stands around and giggles at all the items they used to have,
never dreaming that they'd be collectible someday!
This is just a little peek for you to enjoy today...
I'll be back soon with more from the show,
until then,
why don't you cozy up here in a bit of sunshine....
&
Don't forget....there are always new things arriving at the shop!
Right now we are doing daily specials on all sorts of things anywhere from
25% to 40%
OFF!
Whoo Hoo!
Swing in to see what's up, and I'll be back soon with more show fodder.
Cheers!
:D

Getting Ready for the 2nd Saturdayz Show...

 We've always known that we must really LOVE what we do. It requires great big HUGE amounts of work to accomplish the very branded look that is
"Grandiflora"
As we took our
"look"
on the road this past weekend, there were many obstacles.
However the end result was a hit....and we enjoyed ourselves too!
Loading in the rain....and unloading in the rain was a bit of a bummer....but the parts in between went really well.
Stay tuned for:
more details to come!

Just in "THYME" for Mother's Day!

 We are SO EXCITED to announce the return of:
THYMES
Products
to Grandiflora!
YAY!!!
Grandiflora was once the premier place to find all that was best for Thymes Products North of Seattle.
As the THYMES company grew there were many changes and growing pains...all in areas which never affected the QUALITY of the product itself....which is impeccable. Sadly they discontinued the Mandarin Coriander Home Keeping Scent and our following was heartbroken. We continued to carry the Frasier Fir scent throughout the Holidays, but the body care line dwindled from lack of selection at the company. 
THEN,
we recieved word that the Mandarin Coriander portion of the line was making a comeback
(as apparently we were'nt the only ones missing that part of the Home Line)
SO....
we decided to bring it back to the shop....& take a second look at the body care line once again.
MY OH MY!
Were we surprised how in our absence from what we considered a line destined to disappear, was a new and fresh selection of delightful scents!
Whoo Hoo!
Without more delay....here are the fabulous scents we chose and why:
Agave Nectar: Meet Life with Grace
 Agave Nectar
Fragrance: Ruby Red Grapefruit, tangy guava, succulent lemon blossoms and sweet agave nectar.
Oh yeah....it's that good!!!
This is our all around favorite scent...we haven't met anyone who doesn't like it!
We believe it's destined to become our number one seller?!?!
Kimono Rose : Femininity, Redefined
 Kimono Rose
Fragrance: Sweet Clementine, sparkling cassis, satiny rose, jasmine petals and a soft kiss of vanilla.
Uh yes....one of the all time faves from in years past. We HAD to get this back in from popular demand!
Kimono Rose is a perfect blend of floral and citrus scents...with a touch of sweet.
Lavender : Restore a Sense of Balance
 Lavender
Fragrance: An out of the ordinary blend of lavender, warm rosewood, clary sage and delicate violet leaf.
NOT YOUR TYPICAL LAVENDER SCENT.
If you are looking for a true Lavender scent....this is NOT it.
This is soft, sweet and musky...very atypical of most lavender scents.
This is one of the company's TOP SELLERS....and is also back by popular demand by
Grandiflora Customers.
Naia : Attune Your Senses
Naia
Fragrance: Fresh water lily and crisp cyclamen flow through hints of sweet citrus and juicy lychee.
We are loving this EVERY DAY scent.
Honestly we all agree it will fast become a favorite for it's perfect balance of floral and citrus.
It sort of makes you feel freshly showered and clean, just by applying a dab of lotion.
( ...and who doesn't love that half way through a rough day at work! )
:)

I hope you can come in and check out the new scents, and refamiliarize yourself with the classics from
THYMES.
We are more than happy to help you with your selections....and would love to gift package for any
 Mother's Day Gift Giving!
After all.....there is a reason that Grandiflora was voted
Best Gift Shop in Western Washington
by Voters
on
KING 5's
Evening Magazine!!!

We want to offer you not only quality products, but various selections of items we would use ourselves from companies we trust. The Thymes has proven itself to us once again as a leader in quality and selection.
Add to it our service with a smile....and you get a great experience in
Retail Therapy!

Hope to see you soon!
:)
