This is an unapologetic shameless plug. Believe it or not, my oldest , Sage , is now 21 -remember her and her sister, Quinn - now 19 helping at the shop?? Sage is dating a great young filmmaker and he has a new short film documentary out on Bigfoot. You can watch it on YouTube at the link. Every watch helps him out and it would be great if you could take an hour to watch. It’s going to be a rainy Sunday tomorrow- why not make some popcorn and relax

Today I start a new chapter as I begin my new job. I received a few job offers immediately after announcing the shop's closing, which was extemely flattering. I accepted a permanent part time position at Michelle's Florals in Vernon. I am very excited to start this morning and think this will be a great fit for me. I hope you will feel comfortable in following me there for all your floral needs near and far. Right now, Michelle's doesn't have any social media, maybe I can change that?? I still have a gallery of pics I'll use here and see where we go from there. Wish me luck as I start my first ever job other than Buettner Florist!!

Some trivia for you....
Back when my grandfather first was in business, he created and designed a wedding bouquet holder. I'm sure you're familiar with the modern bouquet holder of a plastic handle with the foam base. At that time, wet foam wasn't available. My grandfather created this system of moss, wrapped and then attached to the plastic mold and handle he had designed. He would ship them all over the country. My father remembers getting home from the flower shop and then going down to the basement to make all the holders. At this time, sadly, my grandfather's daughter, Myra Lee was very sick with leukemia. They had to take her to weekly appointments in Boston (remember this was in the 50's.. so that trip was a big deal) and had huge medical bills. (sadly, she passed away at the age of 10) He wanted to apply for the patent on his design, but didn't have the extra $50 to get one. Within probably 10 years or so, wet foam was invented and the new bouquet holders- with a very similar design- became the standard for wedding bouquets.
