Hello friends. ... A wee FYI, ... ( freeing the floral frustration.)
People often ask why I don't post my prices up front, and honestly, it takes a crystal ball! I am shocked and scrambling to keep up with the ever changing price list.
For an example: I've chosen a beautiful, hardy rose for a wedding this summer, ( not a showy expensive garden rose, but a lovely standard rose, ... affordable,) for an upcoming wedding that I've been tweaking since November. I research hard to meet a budget. Since quoted, 3 weeks ago this bunch of roses went up by $10 π³
( client's cost on a bunch of 25 stems) ... Ok, ... So I eat that... you're welcome...π·
Then, last week it would've cost an additional $10. π₯Ή..gulp!.... ..Today? ...Today I'm choking on it. That bunch is up another $20+
π«£ In all, nearly doubled in price.
That's just 1 item on the order, and who wants to be charged more once they've been quoted??
( We won't talk rising shipping costs today. )
Can't wait to see what tomorrow brings. ( I'll bet it's not 'a break')
It's a dilemma, ..Rant over, ...
thanks for listening. ...I'll go sharpen my pencil. ( Maybe have a drink, lol)
