We Want to say "Thank-You"!

We wanted to say a
HUGE
thank-you
to all our lovely employees & loyal customers.
Without you,
none of the hairbrained ideas we come up with could ever be put into action.
We love that you're willing to
"go there"
with us everytime!!!
We love you all so much, and hope that you'll stay tuned to the many other fun and wonderful things we still have up our sleeves....
+++
On top of all this,
we'd like to thank our families who support us behind the scenes and never get any of the glory for their actions....to you: we say an even bigger thank-you!
(You know who you are!)
+++
BUT,
most importantly we'd like to thank our
Heavenly Father.
For,
without
HIM
we wouldn't be able to use the gifts and talents He's given us to supply jobs for our employees, a fun escape for our shoppers, paychecks for our families, or donations for the causes we find so near and dear to our hearts.
+++
Thanks to one and all....we feel loved!
La Von & Trisha

New Products for a New Look!

Here in the rainy Pacific Northwest...
this sign means so much more than normal!
Keep Calm....
as in:
"WHAAAAAA!!!!!???? What is that big ball of fire in the sky!?!?!?!?"
;P
Thought you'd like to see a tiny sample of what's been coming in here at the shop.
Didn't want to reveal too much....because it's all top secret....and frankly....
most of what you'd see is still in boxes, scattered accross tabletops in wild abandon or covered in
paint drop cloths!
We are working hard to get our store whipped into shape for our
Grand Reopening
Thursday April 26th from 6-9 pm.
Lot's of fun information coming your way soon....
so keep watching your emails ok?
TTFN
friends.

Grandiflora is now CLOSED, until.....

Yes it's true!
You've heard the rumors....you may even be on the mailing list...
Grandiflora will be closed....
BUT,
only for a week and a half while we rearrange the shop to better fit your needs.
We have big plans,
and quite frankly will be working around the clock to put them into motion.
We're hoping a week and a half will be enough!?
There is MUCH to accomplish!
( Insert nail biting owners here.)
;)
However,
no matter how far we get....and whether all the new product shipments arrive in time or not....
WE WILL
reopen on
Thursday evening at 6pm on April 26th.
Make sure you save the date for a fun bash like no other we've ever hosted!
If you'd like to know a bit more, you can read the last blog post
 to catch up on all that's been going on here in the last few weeks.
Stay tuned for much more to come on our
Grand-Grandiflora Reopening....

We were wondering if you'd be able to help us with some Spring Cleaning? No, you won't need to don your rubber gloves or wield a mop! What we could really use some help with is clearing the shop of all the cute things which are simply in the way of the progress we are

read on..........
We are going to be closing the store from April 15th through April 25th, just so we can dig in and rework the entire store!!! We are going to do some painting, rearranging, get new products in and secretly recreate a better Grandiflora more

Because?

Sharing Our Spaces with You...& Some Secrets Too!

A thought came to me the other day...
wouldn't it be fun to randomly feature spaces and places that are
"real"
from all of us at Grandiflora?
So, I went ahead and started planning for it....
Honestly, it's a pretty simple idea.
Head out with the store camera, and wander around the
Grandifora Girls'
homes and personal spaces snapping photos of what it is we really live like.
Wouldn't you like that?
Whilst I was pondering all these thoughts, and how I would begin such a feat...
to share my home in her publication.

I was floored and honored to be asked....and have been working on it ever since!
So,
I encourage you to head on over to check out her
to see what I've been up to all winter!
You can see how I live on a very tight budget whilst decorating with hardwork, elbow grease and heaps of creativity (and an abandoned sense of decorating rules too! :)
But,
Heather couldn't fit all the "rooms" in my home into her fab e-zine...
so...
I've decided to share a sneaky peaky of my own personal bathroom
You'll notice how I've taken flea market finds, mixed them with items from nature, and added a bunch of Grandiflora Goodness
to make a refreshing bathroom for my family of 4.
I encourage you to rethink what decorating looks like for you.
It's amazing what you can do with just a few new things from your favorite shop:
( yep...insert Grandiflora here! ;)
and some imagination.
We hope that our store inspires you....and that we are providing all the right goodies to help you in your decorating adventure too!
We know times are tight....and we realize you have to work with what you already have...
& that's why there are
B I G
changes coming to Grandiflora in the near future...so stay tuned for emails heading your way soon!
In the mean time....
I'll be trying to weasel my way into some of the other gals' homes who work here to get some
sneaky peaks into their personal decorating styles!
This might be harder than I think....
but I promise to deliver the goods at some point in the near future!
Wishing you all a wonderful Easter Spring Break week!
Cheerio!
T.
