LOVE

Autumn,

Good Morning Grandiflora, You Are Worth Every Effort!!!

 How wonderful it is to come in to the shop in the mornings and see all the lovely items awaiting new homes.

I had the pleasure the other morning of coming in to work earlier than normal.

( I say pleasure...because it is absolutely wonderful to be able to work somewhere so filled with beauty!)

I was struck by the sunlight pouring in the windows....

 I had to capture it!

The awesome pools of gold on a crisp Autumn morning were so pretty....I stood in silence and just gazed over the products seeing so many wonderful future gifts, decorations, and party frivolities.

I thought to myself....

How blessed am I to work at such a happy place?

A place so able to fill other's lives with fun and joy?

All that I (and my sister La Von, and my mom Jan too) have toiled over & sacrificed to keep this favored shop alive & breathing right here in our tiny little burg of Lynden.....

well....

IT WAS ALL WORTH IT!

I got a little emotional to be honest, first tears swelled up....and then I found myself laughing hysterically at how dorky I must've looked standing there dumbfounded with a camera in one hand & a tissue in the other!

SO,

KNOW WHAT I DID???

I cranked up the happy music, sat down & got REAL THANKFUL!

:)

Every day I am thankful for faithful, loyal shoppers just like you!

This Autumn Season I'm giving thanks for all your support, happy visits, and frankly purchases.

 YOU have allowed us to keep our doors open in these difficult and uncertain times.

Not only that...but you have challenged us with your requests & voted for us as one of your favorite places to shop in Western Washington too!

That's a very humbling thing...honestly.

We try our very hardest for you, from finding the best deals on the prettiest items....to working long into the night to transform the store for your next visit.

Please KNOW that you are appreciated.

Help us spread the word about our new online site

Grandiflora Home

so that we can continue to grow our business to those who are unable to drive up (or down) to Lynden for the day.

The goal for our new online shop is to reach those who don't happen to have a

Grandiflora Home and Garden style shop

just down the street....and believe me....there are pleanty of those folks out there!

We have been overwhelmed and humbled by the

HUGE

response we've received from other lovely folks all over the blogosphere

who are SO EXCITED for our launch.

Whoa....right?

Thanks so much again for your business, we hope to grow even more from this new adventure....

&

if it's up to us....

our brick and mortar store will only get better with each new

&

brilliant day!

Cheers to you,

Trish

:)

If you know of someone who would like to be able to shop from a store like ours....please feel free to pass our information on...

Autumn Doesn't Have to be Orange, try Cream Instead

 We have so many options for your Autumn Decor.

Traditionally Orange is most folk's choice for fall decorating.

But,

we beg to differ.

Although we have pleanty of the russet hues you typically think of at this time of the year,

we have been turning our eyes to some other options.

We are LOVING the creamy pumpkins with blues, golden tones, and browns.

Throw in some metallic finishes like espresso & mercury glass...and voila!

Look at how pretty and soothing it becomes.

So sophisticated and peaceful.

Hoping you can get in soon before the selection dwindles here at the store.

As you know....there's only so many of our one of a kind style decor.

Find something to spruce up your holiday decor this Autumn, at an

affordable price

sure to keep you in the budget.

We love our customers, and shop with them specifically in mind.

Have a wonderful Indian Summer!

:)

It's All About the Treats!

 Trick or.....

TREAT!

Um.....duh....TREAT!

Planning a Halloween Bash this year?

Boy have we got the goods for you!

 So many unique and sweet items to perk up your older decor....

 I'm sure you could come in and find one or two spooky cute things....

...but don't wait too long...

some of the displays are starting to look like a "ghost town"!

It's going fast!

Hope to see you in soon!

:)

Who Doesn't Love Birds?

 If there is one thing we can never seem to have enough of....it's birds!

Nests

Cages

Houses

Feeders

Pictures

Plaques

You name it...if it's got a bird on it....we'll sell it!

:)

We love birds ourselves, so it's pretty easy to have them surrounding us throughout the store.

Just wait until you see the lovely collection of bird ornaments we have coming for

Christmas!

But alas....it's too early to show you that!

However,

You need to see the sweet bird and owl pillows we've been featuring from a local crafter:

Aren't they adorable?

Hurry in, these are being eyed by just about every shopper...and are selling well.

More styles than just these to choose from too!

Don't miss out on a one of a kind

AFFORDABLE

piece of art.

We just love the selection in the store right now.

We think you will too!

:)

You Don't Have to be Martha To Throw a Thriller of a Party!

Spider Bling Rings...just a sample of all the fun goodies in stock right now!

 Throwing a Party this Halloween?

Don't miss out on all the super fun decor we have on display at Grandiflora!

 From adorably cute, to downright elegant, we've got you covered.

Try a more sophisticated approach to your decor this year with these lovely

 Damask Pumpkins

(which are going fairly quickly!)

 Then spiff up your typical orange orb with a little bling!

 Get out the blood red wine and apply a little fun with these super cute wine glass bling appliques.

( Not into the wine thing? No worries, these work great with green kool-aid for kids...they'll love it!)

 They work like wine charms...assign each assorted style appropriately by the guest!

( Notice there isn't a Witch....one could get in trouble that way!)

Tee hee hee!

:)

Whatever your spooky plans are this Hallow's Eve,

we can help you find decor that doesn't look like it was nabbed at a dimestore.

We offer unique one of a kind items, at surprisingly affordable prices.

After all....this IS Grandiflora you know!

:)

Happy Haunting!

P.S.

Don't forget:
