Mother's Day came and went and I've neglected this blog far too long. First of all, I cannot believe the end of May is quickly approaching (cliche, I know, but really, what happened to spring?). Secondly, Mother's Day week was great! Once again, better than the previous year (just like Valentine's Day), leaving us all a bit more tired than the year before). It seemed that from Valentine's Day to Mother's Day, we were all working in overdrive with no time to rest between the biggest holidays of the year! Now, it's time to focus on the summer.
Lately, we have been receiving some beautiful shipments of peonies and they have literally been flying out the door! On the day they arrived, Mari and I made three new peony arrangements which turned out beautiful and we sold quite a few of them! They were up for sale on our website the same day we created them, which made us feel pretty awesome (Thanks to Jess and Mari).

Today, we received our first shipment of Texas-grown flowers from Texas Specialty Cuts! Due to the crazy wet (and freezing) weather they had this spring in the Hill Country, the flowers bloomed late. It was pretty exciting today, watching the delivery driver carry in buckets and buckets of colorful, beautiful, locally-grown flowers. If you're in the market for a local arrangement, check out the Texas ones on the website (

Mari has spent a considerable amount of time out in our yard growing some beautiful sunflowers that are just beginning to open. They look great in the yard and now we can start using them in arrangements. We did this last year, but not in such an organized fashion. The sunflowers that are blooming look absolutely gorgeous.

(By the way, Mallory was promoted to floral designer after Valentine's Day! We are all so proud of her!)
