  • I am doing well, thanks for asking!!!

    I am back to work and feeling great...I have a follow up appointmet on Fri to see how things are progressing..

    How are you?? and the family?? and weddings??
    Oh the job is ok, thanks for asking. It's fun because I love designing, but it's really different to work for someone else and to have to do things the way they do them. I had a few heart attacks at the way they handle some of their flowers and the way do things. But it's ok, I pretty much get to design whatever I want. I've only worked 4 days. OHHH THE RAIN, YES... Im soooo sick of it. It seems like it has been raining every other day. It's actually storming REALLY bad here right now. My whole house is shaking from the thunder. How have you been doing?
    Hi, nope I didn't have any weddings last weekend.... You? Not a whole lot going on just trying to enjoy SUMMER..... I got a job a couple of days a week at a shop nearby. I was missing the busy shop and needed something to do. I was getting bored. Im not sure how it's going to work out for me, It's WAAAYYY different from the way I ran my shop, but we'll see. How's it going for you? you seem busy, busy...
    Thanks Tracy, are they waterproof? they look very much like our Living Vases that are sometimes used for aquapack.

    Hi Tracy, nah, nothing big, just working in am so I should be in bed (11:30pm here now) no weddings this weekend, it is winter,(shortest day tomorrow!) bit slower, how about you? Are you in full wedding swing??-Franca
    I have one wedding it's not very big and I'm kind of relieved. I have a full weekend with open houses and father's day. I had a distaster this morning when I went to pick up the flowers at the wholesaler, I ordered the white peony's with the dk pink edge. Didn't get them, they only had white and gave me some crap about end of the season and weather and so on. Then dendro's that I ordered were all smashed and bent. AND the spray roses were the wrong color, and the larkspur was old, all mushy in the middle. I was Just a nightmare.... SO I freaked out and blew a gasket, "which doesn't happen very often" they fixed everything, But all is well now, everything worked out. I don't know why they didn't do it right in the first place. It's days like this that make me wonder, WHY THE HECK DO I DO THIS....

    I had another consultation yesterday, Im sooooo excited about this one. The bride is a doctor and she has NO budget. She wants to keep everything simple. Colors are black and white with a touch of silver. The whole time I was thinking OHHH Lots of lily's BUT MOB hates them so that's out. So orchids it is. She wants everything simple, modern, and classy. Im very excited. I don't get alot of "money is no object" weddings. Im thinking tall pilsner vases with about 20 stems of white dendros. Maybe some silver ting ting.... ( I love the stuff), with uplights. Then sprinkle crystals around the table on a mirrored base. Do you have any good ideas. I have to stay with all white flowers. She has ordered black table cloths.

    Good luck with your weddings... I know you'll do a great job.
    Thanks, I do love it so far, I have found so much valuable information so far. Gosh Im going to be up forever looking through this. I just can't stop, Im a flower junkie. Actually my husband just came out and said your looking at those FLOWER SITES AGAIN, dont' you ever think about anything else. HAHA.
    I am in Macomb Township. Lately it has been so slow that I wish I would have just kept doing weddings out of the house. I was still registerd and paid taxes, but not this high rent. I am trying to stay positive because I know things will turn around eventually, I just don't know when. This business is so difficult because you never know whats coming. Just when you think you can't hold on, you get busier than hell and it turns around for a while.
    I love your new wedding pics! They are fabulous!

    Does your son have any immediate plans now that he has graduated HS? How are you doing with it? Were you able to find some help for your marathon of weddings next month?
    I am actually closed the the Memorial Day weekend. I was in desperate need of some time away from the store. Other than that, business has been up and down. This economy is really taking its toll and I am hoping that I will be able to ride it out.
    How is businees with you?
    It's a test group - nothing exciting, really, just making sure the permissions are set properly.
