After Christmas Sale

Hello Everyone!

We hope you were able to have a fabulous Christmas with all your loved ones!

We had such a blessing of

SNOW

on

Christmas!!!

How wonderful was that?

Well,

as much as we don't like Christmas coming to an end here at

Grandiflora...

it must finally come to an end.

That being said, we have decided to put the remainder of

Christmas Decor 60%* off at the register.

 

ALSO,

we wanted to make sure that you were able to find a little somethin' for yourself

this season at an extra special good deal...

All purses, scarves, watches, glasses & jewelry

are 20%* off at the register.

AND....

we have just received many new home decor items from some of our

favorite vendors!

So...

don't wait to come in and use those

Gift Certificates that are burning a hole in your pocket

while the selection is still good.

 

We appreciate your business this past year...and look forward to

ushering in a new one with you very soon!

Cheers!

The Grandiflora Girls

We vote objectively on creativity, construction & general sense of style.

We sit down with nameless numbered tree photos at our

Grandiflora Christmas Party

pick each of our individual favorites.

We then go through and count votes, at which time we determine who has the most votes.

Drumroll please,

........................................................

Tree Entry Number 12

This tree must be spectacular in person...we're guessing this photo doesn't do it justice!

Since we decorate for a living....we can appreciate the amount of time that went into

Tree number 12!

So much eye candy & really hard work went into this traditional beauty.

Next......

Tree Entry Number 14

WOW!

Tree number 14 blew us away as well with it's pretty soft wintery whites.

Not everyone can take a tone on tone color scheme and pull it off this well.

Great textures, shapes and ornaments went into this tree.

Amazing construction and time well spent!

&

last but not least.....

Tree Entry Number 24

Quite frankly, we all believed this adorable vintage inspired tree should be on the cover of a

Country Living Magazine!!

Cookie cutters, classic red & white ornaments & homespun cozy goodness

make this tree a nostalgic YES!

.................................................................

Ok, now it's your job to decide...which of the last 3 trees is your favorite tree???

Head on over to

Our FaceBook Page

to vote for

Number12: Traditional Showstopper

Want to Know the Best Place to Get a Real Tree This Year?

 Hello Everyone!

We have a little piece of delicious information to share...

did you know we come from a

Christmas Tree Farming Family?

Some of you did...but to some of you...this is new information!

Yes it's true!

Why do you think we

LOVE

Christmas Decorations SO MUCH????

Because we see Christmas all year long.

Everytime we visit our folks

Ken & Jan Stremler

( Mom is actually a Grandiflora owner/partner of ours, & both mom and dad own the Grandiflora building we do business in. She pays rent to herself, how's that for rent control?! LOL! Ahhh....family businesses.  ;)

.........

Well,

we grew up with fields of Christmas trees all around us.

Our holidays and even vacations have all been built around

Christmas Tree farming.

Our dad has a love for trees that goes way beyond the norm.

That is why you'll see his wholesale distribution from

Vancouver B.C. all the way down the the Mexican border and beyond.

His trees ship accross the nation!

They are undoubtedly some of the prettiest trees in this county...and I may be partial...but arguably the prettiest in most of Western Washington!

If you are looking for a beautiful

Tannenbaum

he's your guy.

There are so many varieties to choose from

at his U-Cut in Deming/Acme Washington on Highway 9 called

Alpine Meadows Tree Farm

Maybe you're not into cutting one yourself....that's ok,

there are always selections in the rack there.

You can just go for the experience of a ride into the hills for hot cocoa, dohnuts & a warm fire.

See children with rosey cheeks... eyes filled with the wonder of the season.

I know my kiddos & nieces and nephews have adored the process of picking out the very best tree for their homes every season since they've been born.

SO,

in short?

Head on over to

Alpine Meadows Tree Farm

to find out more about how to take all those

beautiful ornaments you found here in the last month and

display them on a thing of beauty

which signifies the

evergreen, everlasting life we all

received through

His

birth.

Merry Christmas!

 

Thank -YOU!!! We Appreciate YOU!!

Hi everyone!

Just wanted to swing in here after a happy weekend filled with

awesome sales and cheerful customers!

 We wanted to let you know how much we truly appreciate you...

EACH AND EVERYONE OF YOU!

Honestly,

without YOU...

Grandiflora wouldn't be possible.

SO,

from the bottom of our hearts....

please accept our gratitude.

You are valued and loyal customers...and we look forward to serving you further this

most blessed Christmas Season.

Cheers!
Jan, La Von, Trisha

&

 The Grandiflora Girls

:)

P.S.

Thought you'd get a kick outta these snaps from the weekend....

 ...and...

....the crazy "Ugly/Tacky Sweater Crew" who helped them.

Last year was pajamas...this year ugly sweaters....

who KNOWS what next Black Friday could bring???
