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.

Heading to the Home & Garden Show This Weekend?

Hello Everyone!

Well, were you thinking of heading to the

BIAWC Home & Garden Show?

at the Northwest Washington Fairgrounds

this weekend?

If so.....you might want to wander into Grandiflora for a bit of

decorative inspiration as well.

 

The store is chock full of new product for you and your home.

There is surely something for every

person, taste & style.

Grandiflora is like icing on the cake

of a visit to the

show....

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.

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!

The

Grandiflora Girls

Behind the Scenes as the Christmas Decor Goes Out

 Hi Everyone!

We've been at it for the last week up on the second floor....

yep,

it's that time of the year again!

Christmas Decor is here!

 We ordered it in January, received it in Spring and Summer and organized it

early this Fall.

Now it's time to haul it over from our storage unit and display it for

YOU!

 Yes,

we've been waiting for this all year!

The time where we get to pull out all the stops and

GO FOR IT!

True...

it might seem a bit early for some of you.

We however realize that it's not as far off as you might think.

Many of you have been wondering when it would make it's appearance;

asking for it even!

We promise to deliver.

HOWEVER.....

....we have one more full week of putting it out on the main floor.

SO,

please be patient with us as we do so ok?

It takes so much more work and effort than you might ever imagine.

Our girls work so hard for us and most importantly

for you

to make Grandiflora a veritable winter wonderland!

Here's a sneaky peaky of  some finished second floor displays....

We hope you'll like what you find this year...

it's such a lovely look all over the shop!

Cheers,

The Grandiflora Girls

:)



Flurries and Flakes

Yes.

It's that time of the year again!

The time where we always...ALWAYS regret wearing black to the store!

The snowy stuff is beginning to go out and we are COVERED in it!

:)

 

MARK YOUR CALENDARS!

 We are having our Annual

 HOLIDAY OPEN HOUSE and ANNIVERSARY SALE

 on Thursday evening the 15th of November

(stay tuned to your emails/facebook and the blog for more details to follow).

 

 However, please note: the Christmas decor goes out ahead of time. 

We only have about 1/3 of it out now  & will continue to put it out for the next week.

It should be out in full force by the 1st/2nd of November.

 

 Please bear with us as we work our hardest to make Grandiflora a Winter Wonderland ♥

Thanks in advance!

The Grandiflora Girls

P.S.

Just so you know....we actually love snow, some of our best friends are flakes!

:)

Slowly it Goes...Bringing in the Fall

Hello Everyone!!

How is your week going???

I hope it's well!

I know for some of you

 it's difficult sometimes to look at photos of Fall merchandise

when it seems like

Summer has finally decided to arrive!

However,

remember...there are MANY folks out there for whom

Autumn is their

FAVORITE

Season!

They have been asking when the Fall decor is going out for about a month now!

SO,

for those of you who adore:

-red leaves

-football

-hot cocoa

-owls

-crisp mornings & hot afternoons

-apples

&

-all things pumpkin....

WE ARE  BEGINNING TO PUT OUT THE FALL!!!

Just remember,

we are putting it out

S L O W L Y

so that all those

"can't bear to let Summer go" folks

don't have a heart attack when they waltz in the door.

;)

So,

check back often for many new arrivals.

You should SEE the PILES of lovely things

 slated to go out in the next 2 months!!!

I'm SO excited for it!!

Cheers!

Trish, La Von, Jan

&

the rest of the fabulous Grandiflora crew.

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

HERE

 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 will be having one good time....and you WON'T want to miss out!

Hope to see you there!

Be back with more soon......

Spring's Here & Moving Quickly

SPRING IS HERE!

One thing we tell people when they come in and shop at our brick and mortar store

Grandiflora

 is:

"Don't wait too long in between visits."

We literally have new shipments coming in daily, and our girls are always working on getting the items out as soon as they can.

We have shoppers that frequent the store regularly & frankly....

they are the ones who always score the best

FUN FINDS.

:)

Consistancy

always finds the best selection at

Grandiflora.

We carry small quantities in a really big way;

don't miss out on all the new

Spring Decor...

we have new product, vintage and hand crafted.

You won't want to wait too long to get in here...

it's moving quickly.

Wouldn't want you to miss out.

Cheerio for a fab weekend!

:D



Renew, Refresh, Reinvigorate Your Home!

It's that time of the year again.

The time where you wonder what to do next.

When you think to yourself....

....'I feel blah.'

NOT TO WORRY!

You can head in to our local retail shop for a quick burst of

Spring

before it even truly hits.

We all know that you'll feel blah until your surroundings echo how you'd like to feel.

We think you'd like to feel inspired....because we like to feel inspired too!

So head in and see the new displays filled with inspirational items for your space.

Looking forward to seeing your face light up in the shop soon!

:)

How Would You Like to Count an Entire Store?

 I'm judging by the look on Colleen's face....she'd really rather be displaying with this candle holder than counting it... wouldn't you?

:)

Oh YES, it's THAT time of the year again...

INVENTORY!

EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEK!

 One person sits and tallies, while the other gets on hands and knees....

or up on a ladder to count every little thing!

BELIEVE IT!

 Of course, that is why we have inventory reduction sales at the end of December...

the less there is, the less we have to count!

The good news?

We are way ahead of the game by having lots of lovely new items either here already, or on their way to redo the store!

Yippee!!!

:)

So, to recap:

We will be finishing off our inventory today.

Then we will spend the next week putting the store back together while doing maintenance etc.

Some of the girls will be doing nothing but open new products and get them priced and ready to go out on the floor.

Off to market to order even more to keep the flow of product coming too!

We are super excited about how this is all going, and are excited to see what the New Year will bring to

Grandiflora Home and Garden

&

Grandiflora HOME

online as well!

Speaking of which, we are also working diligently to find new products for the online shop.

REMEMBER,

there is often a different selection in the online shop as there is in the physical store.

If you are local, you can choose free in store local pick-up with a 2 day wait

(to allow time for funds transfer and the pulling of merchandise)

We are so excited to offer two ways to shop Grandiflora's Goodness!

Keep us in mind for all your new projects and home decor changes in 2012.

We are happy to serve you in any capacity that we can!

Cheers to the New Year,

may you be richly blessed by all that matters most!

:)

Need to Get in the Spirit? Come and Check out the Online Shop for Inspiration.

Sometimes we all need a little jumpstart to the season...I've found that the best way to do that is to clean up the house...put a few of my everyday items away...and get a few new items out to kick start the decorating process.

If there is one item in the store that could inspire a super quick jump start to the season it would be the

 Square Red Fleurs de Jardin Pillow

I think it just shouts:

"Be Merry!"

&

wouldn't you be merry with this perky little friend staring back at them from a nearby chair?

The best part is that it doesn't scream Christmas like some decorations do.

You can leave it out year round!

What do you think of this one?

 Round Red Fleurs de Jardin Pillow

We just love these pillows, they come in so many great colors....you're sure to find one you like.

I also think these pins

(below)

are super great at jump starting your Holiday Wardrobe...

 Or....we think they'd be a quick inexpensive fix for an old pillow you've already got laying around.

Just attach the

 Little Red Flower Pin

to the corner of your pillow...and Voila!

Instant cuteness!

Otherwise....you could pin it to a scarf, a Christmas Wreath, or just attach to your coat lapel!

We also have these in other various colors....and they ship for FREE!

If you aren't into the true RED of the season....

how about a beautiful

 Crinkled Chevron Throw in Cranberry?

Get cozy on the couch with a good book under this fashionably fringed beauty.

We also have this lovely

Ruffled Scarf in Burgandy

which would be great with a pea coat in grey or black.

All our scarves and jewelry

come with FREE shipping online!

Hope you can swing by and check it out...

Remeber you can choose Free local in store pick up within 2 business days.

Just another way you can shop

Grandiflora Home

this season.

:)
