January

Wow, what a month. It is the in between Christmas and Valentine's month. Everyone has spent their money on Credit Card bills, and is waiting on Feb 14 for their next gift purchase. This month is notoriously slow in the florist business. This is the month we clean closets, take inventory, restock, figure our plan for the rest of the year. We know that Valentine's day is coming. And we enjoy a few quiet days of winter, while getting ready. It is actually very nice to have time to think, and clean and get ready. Whatever we're getting ready for is coming one way or the other. We have been buying up some cute things for spring and lots of red and white cute stuff for Valentine's day. New teddy bears that light up and talk. Lots of new vases. Teacups. Spring ceramic containers. We have a lot of fun with all the new containers to design in.
