Floral things first...we are continuously working on tweaking our Teleflora Web Page. Be sure to check it out as we have a new "About Us" page. Shop picutres should be forthcoming.
Now for the dirt....
So we have spent all the free time we have had cleaning, cleaning and throwing away stuff that was left behind in the flower shop. The former owner was here for 14 years and accumulated a mass of things that are unexplainable. From the non-working items that were just put in the back of the store (a coffee pot, a microwave, a refrigerator that had been re-purposed as a television stand, an old printer, two phones and a fax machine, just to name a few) to the 1000+ spools of ribbon, hundreds of baskets, etc. It has been an adventure just digging through what was in the back room.
Among some of my favorite things have been my new shop mascot (see picture left). I'm not sure if you can really see how hideous and filthy this thing is but I can only hope. I can tell you that this would frighten any new mother if received as a gift. If you take a closer look you can see how disproportionate its feet are too. Its like that episode of Seinfeld with the man-hands. Except this baby has man-feet. I think that you can kind of see the fur that has begun to grow on its tuft of hair in the photo. Its reminiscent of the kind of fur you see on the ceiling of a smoky bar.
Not to be outdone, the spooky baby troll has a friend, the scary furry dog/seal. I'm not sure if it was supposed to be a dog or a seal. Its feet flip back like a seal but he has a dog like tail.
Another unsolvable shop mystery. At first glance, it looks like hes cute and furry but that's not a cute soft cuddly fur. That is the same nasty ceiling dirt-fur that has accumulated from not cleaning....EVER. He used to be white from what I can tell and has since been adopted by our local waste management service.

At any rate, I just thought I'd post these before I forgot and hope that you enjoy them as much as I have.

ReplyDeleteSort of harsh comments reflected on the previous owner! If your point is to be humorous you could do that without insulting the last owner(who was probably as excited fourteen years ago as you are now). Think about how prospective customers would look at your blog!
