It's Time, Orange is Just Around the Corner......

It's time.....

time for you to start thinking about the fact that soon you will see

oranges, deep tones in greens and greys & time you will need to go from

Spring and Summer colors to Autumn.

 

For those of you who cling to Summer we have some wonderful new things for you too.....

but for those of you who

 relish the Fall season...

oh have we got a little something new in stock for you!

 

New purses just arrived & are already selling quickly.

Frankly we can't display them fast enough!

SO,

for best selection, you may want to pop in and see what's new

at

Grandiflora.

:)

It's Wedding Season at Grandiflora!

 Hello Everyone!

Well, it's been a long time since I've had the chance to post about new products in the shop.

Honestly....there are SO MANY new items lately that we simply haven't been

able to find the time to post about it!

On top of all this, we've been off galavanting at Market in Atlanta recently.

(And now THOSE orders are starting to pile in!)

It's an exciting, lovely & chaotic way to work....but the store is even better for it.

Don't worry if you've been in recently....I assure you more new items have

arrived since you were in last!

I can't seem to keep up; as soon as we get something in I'll try to take a photo of it for the blog

& POOF it's gone before I can say "Megapixels"!

I suppose it's a wonderful problem to have...but still a problem just the same.

The lesson you can learn from this???

Come regularly for best selection!

 

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

What I really wanted to highlight here today is the lovely  displays we

are sporting here at the shop lately.

In case you didn't know....

it's WEDDING SEASON!

We realize every year at this time (all year actually) how much business we garner because so many brides enjoy finding the added extra goodies for their weddings at Grandiflora.

Thank-you so much for thinking of us for all your decorating needs!

 We are so appreciative of all your business!

If you are still adding the finishing touches to your wedding....

stop in and find lots of little goodies here in the shop.

Many new items arrive everyday & you never know what might work just perfectly for you.

Also,

for those of you attending these weddings....

remember, we offer many great gift ideas pared with a lovely

Grandiflora Gift Certificate!

It's really the perfect gift for a new bride!

Hope to see you soon.....

Hop on Over, Have We Got a Tweet For YOU!

Hello Everyone!

Just wanted to pop in to show you a cute little display that we've got going on right now

for SPRING!

(Trust me, there are many more where this came from!!)

I have to be honest in saying that we have been hopping busy

these past few weeks trying to get all the new product out that just keeps

pouring in from our market trip this past winter.

And, just as fast as we can get the items out....

they are walking out the door with loads of happy customers.

If you are popping down from

Canada you'll ba happy to know this one really great thing:
I've overheard more than a number of our new

Canadian customers raving about our prices.

Let me just say this:

We make a habit of passing our savings on to our customers as much as possible.

We adopted a new pricing strategy last April that has served us well

this past year.

If we get a discount....you get a discount.

Our theory is that we'd all like to get a deal once in awhile, right?

So....

that being said,

head on down to Lynden for some great deals on the

cutest items in one of the

prettiest settings around;

Grandiflora.

We can't wait to see you soon!

New Scarves, Bags & Jewelry Await You @ Grandiflora!

Hello Everyone!

Happy March!

How have you been lately?

Feeling a little blah+zay?

Rain got you down?

Why don't you step into the shop to get a fresh perspective on things?

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

In case it's been a little while since you stopped by,

you might like to know that the shop has been completely re-worked

with all NEW product!

The happiest of all the new items in the shop are the

ACCESSORIES!!!

We have new bags, purses, scarves & jewelry

for you to peruse.

Sometimes it's nice just to have a new little treat to brighten up your style.

I know my wardrobe needed a little perking up...

so I bought one of the new neclace and earring sets we just received.

Oh what a difference it made!

(Happy Happy + Joy Joy)

:)

Isn't this bike bag the cutest thing???

(We love vintage bikes in case you hadn't noticed...

there always seems to be one or two hanging around.)

Wouldn't it be cute for a library bag, or even better for a quick

bike to the grocery store bag?

We also really like this bike flower pot

There are also great new votive cups & yummy scented candles too!

So,

What are you waiting for?

Stop by soon to grab some

Grandiflora

CUTE

THINGS

Fun New Wall Decor

 Hello Everyone!

We've been so busy lately pricing and putting out all the new products here in the shop

that sadly we've neglected the blog just a bit.

We'll be back again soon

(after we get this next HUGE shipment unpacked, priced & put out)

to bring you some more photos of our new lovely displays.

But,

for now we figured we'd leave you with some great shots of new products that

are already in the shop.

We are excited to say that much of what is coming in to the shop lately is

full of Spring colors

&

happy styles.

Things are going out the door rather quickly however....

so it looks like we'll be writing some reorders.

Hope to see you soon!

Cheers!

The Grandiflora Girls.



Positivity...We Could Each Use A Little Help Sometimes

Hello Everyone!

How has your January been passing by?

Fast? Slow? D r a g g i n g ?

Hopefully it's been ok, but we know that this time of the year

is a struggle for many folks.

We want to be a place where you can come and get a little

respite from the dreary world.

At

Grandiflora Home and Garden

we think each day needs to have a little bit of visual joy in it.

We are not advocates of over-spending, hoarding or credit card disasters.

NOPE!

We are more of the thought that once in awhile a woman needs a little

inexpensive "treat" to brighten her life.

A new scarf, a bar of lovely scented soap or a fresh new piece of wall decor

can go

A  L O N G  W A Y....

right?

SO,

Here's to little treats.

To a mental retreat from dreary day to day life here in the less than sunny Pacific Northwest...

&

MOSTLY

to

a positive attitude.

We can all use a little help once in awhile can't we?

Let us help you with that.

Cheers!!

The Grandiflora Girls

:)

 

P.S.

All scarves, purses & jewelry are 30%* off now until Saturday February 2nd!

We make it pretty easy for you to find a little inexpensive joy right here in the shop.

*excludes previous purchases & consignments.

Moments at Market: We Had Fun BUT Worked Hard

Middle photo: Me (Trisha/Main Buyer/Partner) La Von (My Sister/Head Visual Display/Partner) & Kim (Our Floor Manager & Annie Sloan Instructor) in a Seahawks moment at market. They were playing only a few blocks away. We got razzed when they lost :(

Hello Everyone!

Just wanted to pop in here to show you what we've been up to at

Atlanta Market.

Let me fill you in on what Atlanta Market is:

 

1. HUGE! 3 buildings roughly 50-60 floors combined.

2. OVERWHELMING! Each floor has either multiple large showrooms or numerous booths.

3. OVERSTIMULATING! Each showroom decks itself out with a huge amount of product.

4. EXHAUSTING! You are on your feet for 12 hours at least 3 of the 7 days without sitting down,

& on them for 9 hours the other 4....no sitting!

5. CONFUSING! Are you in building 1 floor 3 or building 2 floor 3 or building 3 floor 1???

6. CALENDAR INAPPROPRIATE! Isn't Christmas over? Yes... 2012's Christmas is....

but everywhere you are ordering for Christmas 2013!!

7. POCKET BOOK SHOCKING! Always make sure you have wandered into the

moderately priced showrooms...Bill Gates does not shop at Grandiflora.

(At least we don't think so anyway ;)

&

Last but not least....

8. AWE INSPIRING!!

We enjoyed all the lovely displays we saw at market

(SOOOOO many more than what you see here,

as we were not allowed to take photos of certain showrooms....and didn't want to spoil

our buying surprises for you anyway!)

It is hard to walk away from market uninspired.

We came away from this market with SOOOOO many ideas

it is making my head spin to think about making them all happen!

The best part is....we are on fire for Grandiflora this year....

we are going to light a fire under ourselves and our customers this year.

It's time to celebrate this awesome shop we've all come to love and appreciate.

May Grandiflora see it's best year yet!

Not really talking financially....although that would be nice....

wink, wink.

LOL!

NO...no....no.....

I'm talking about finding the niche that we were all meant to find in

Grandiflora.

Now....

wouldn't that be nice!

We were flitting from booth to booth, showroom to showroom finding all sorts of great things with the power of caffeine! We were also really excited to meet Jo Packham of Where Women Create & Where Women Cook where she was signing books and magazines. What a great lady....and what an honor!

 

Well, it was a trip to remember & a trip to inspire.
As I said before we are on fire for what comes next....
THE BOXES OF PRODUCT!
Be visiting often for all the lovely items that will start arriving in a few weeks all the way through the end of the year.
It takes 7 days (72 hours of straight ordering) just to hit the tip of the iceberg in ordering.
I can honestly say this:
WE DID OUR BEST BUYING THIS YEAR!
You know what that equals?
YOU WILL HAVE THE BEST SHOPPING AT GRANDIFLORA THIS YEAR.
Happy US + Happy YOU!
Here's to Grandiflora & the fun she brings us all!
Cheers!
La Von, Kim & I



You Are A Blessing To Us, Thank-You!

Hello Everyone!

We thought this sign was fitting & appropriate for this after

Christmas Season we are experiencing.

We wanted to say thank-you again for shopping local at

Grandiflora this past year.

Your business has been very much appreciated in 2012.

As this year comes to an end,

we don't want to focus on the sales we are featuring or the new product we've recently received...

No.

Rather, we'd like to take the time to thank

Our Heavenly Father

for blessing us with much more than we deserve.

&

for blessing us with

 you

our most valued customers.

For,

without you...

we wouldn't be here.

SO,

heartfelt blessings to you and yours this

New Year

of 2013.

We are so glad you've chosen to make us one of your

favorite shopping destinations.

Cheers

&

God Bless you richly!
