We are Moving!

On Thursday, July 1st we will begin moving our flower shop to a new location 1 1/2 blocks down Broadway in Downtown Carrollton.

Here's a sneak peek at the new shop

We are really excited about the move as it puts us closer to the higher traffic area on the square. We will be located next to Mary Lou's gift shop and across the street from Amici's Italian and the Carrollton Square Spa.

In addition to the move, we are going to be adding a huge line of nostalgic candy, chocolates and gourmet candy into the mix. We are working on a new line of candy bouquets to compliment our floral designs and think this is going to be a great addition to our retail shop.

New fixtures, new space and new ideas! We are really excited and hope to share more pictures with you very soon from the new space!

Stop by and see us:

Mother's Day & Flowers

Mother's Day is May 10th!  

Elvis Presley was a mama's boy.  Its reported that he slept in the same bed with his mother until puberty.  When Elvis entered high school she finally stopped walking him back and forth to school each day but still made him take his own silverware to school so he wouldnt catch germs from the other children.

Remember those days when you felt your mom was being over protective and it drove you crazy?  While she may not have been as overprotective as Elvis' mom it probably felt that way, didnt it?

From making you wear a hat when it was only mildy chilly, to cutting you peanut butter and jelly sandwhich into triangles with the crusts cut off... mom was just being a mom.

Show her you appreciated every crazy, overprotective thing she ever did for you this year and really make her smile. 

We have a fantastic selection of special Mother's Day Flowers on our website here.

In addition to flower arrangement we have a great assortment of gift items available.  From spa gift certificates from the Carrollton Square Spa to chocolates, truffles or garden totes, take the time to check them out on our website.  

PS - Mom, I know your reading this.. so thank you!  Happy Mother's Day, but I'm still not going to forgive you for making us eat those horrible sesame seed health food store candies.  That wasn't candy!!!

Power to the Flower!

New Product - BloemBox As Seen on Oprah's O List!!!

We are happy to announce a new addition to the shop and our webpage.

BloemBoxes!

These were featured on Oprah's O List!!!

BloemBox brings a new approach to gift giving. These gifts are handcrafted with superior quality and are really two gifts in one: a colorful keepsake box for saving found treasures and a delightful reminder of that special day or event. The bulbs/seeds grow into a beautiful garden of blooms and the sachet releases a heady fragrance for years to come. Personalized tags are available adding that special touch to gift giving.

Each box contains a 15" biodegradable, plantable tissue paper seed ribbon with growing instructions. The gift tag reads, "Happiness held is a seed. Happiness shared is the flower" and includes a poetic reference to the flower. They are 3 1/2" dia x 3 1/2" H.

Unmended thoughts time affords me:
these solid forms of pots,
flush with zinnias,
and the sun patch fading.
— Michael McClintock

TINY TINS EDIBLES

Marigold, Viola, Cornflower, Nasturtium, Apricot Stock and Calendula.

Enjoy the saffron-like flavor of orange Calendula petals in soups, rice and salads; the peppery, tangy flavor of Nasturtium flowers and leaves in salads and sandwiches; the spicy, clove-like flavor of blue Cornflower in fresh fruit salads; the spicy, bright yellow petals of Marigold on fresh lettuce salads and soups; the sweet to spicy petals of Apricot Stock on salads and cakes; and the mild wintergreen flavor of Viola flowers on cakes and in cold beverages.

Each window-top tin is filled with seed, labeled with growing instructions and tied with a gift tag. Wrapped with a band that reads, "Happiness held is a seed. Happiness shared is the flower."

2" dia. x 2" h.

These are perfect gifts to accompany your floral arrangement for Mothers Day or anyone who enjoys gardening.
