Well, we made it through another Mother's Day holiday rush...what an adventure!!! We made close to 400 deliveries in 6 days. In comparison, we make about 150 deliveries on a normal week. All the arrangements were made by myself, David and Regina..that's an amazing feet. We worked late Wednesday, Thursday and Friday nights. By late, I mean 11:00pm or so. By Sunday, we were walking zombies. Flower orders are so different than they were years gone by. In times past, we made arrangements, and the customer came by or called in and bought them. Now days, the customer picks an arrangement on a website, then we have to create it. So much planning has to go into a holiday now. We started watching for new pics on websites at least 6 weeks ahead of the holiday. We ordered flowers according to what it seemed like you, the consumer, wanted. It's a very tricky business now. But thanks to all of you shopping on our website, we had a great holiday. It's always so interesting to hear the stories of the person you're ordering for. How you want to send something to you're favorite, Aunt, Cousin, In Law etc, or especially your Mom. We enjoy helping you tell them how much they mean to you. That's what we love to do. :)
