Well......I said I'd try for weekly...right?? LOL




Let's see......where has the last 2 weeks gone. We've been going crazy around here that's for sure. Last weekend we did Meghan's wedding at Hessenland - if you check the Facebook group - all of the pictures are posted.......there's too many to put them all on here. It was absolutely stunning - reminds me of why I love my job. They just let me loose, and everything turned out incredibly. We've been doing weddings - lots of weddings. I'm working on 3 this weekend.




1 is in Stratford - Susan's having bright blue and green hydrangeas with ivory gerbras - it's going to be gorgeous.




2 is in Exeter here, and Janelle's having antique pink/burg/ touch of mauve bouquets to go with her chocolate brown - it's going to be amazing.




3 is in Sarnia - at the Sarnia riding club. I have to be there to set-up at 9 am on saturday.




I'm slightly nervous - I have a very small period of time to do all the decorating (mantle, 6 chandeliers, table centres etc) and I'm not really all that sure where I'm going - definitely going to be a mapquest job.




I posted a few Facebook pictures of some random bouquets......I'm pretty excited about them. They're being taken to Kitchener today to be professionally photographed for 'floral trends' article coming in the next Wedding Ring Bridal News magazine. I can't wait to see them!!!




Right now I'm working on some enormous outdoor decor pots for a lady's home near Bayfield - they're spectacular. I'm pretty sure I'll be delivering them in the next couple days......how I'm going to get them there is another issue.......




I've also got 2 ladies homes I'm working on in London right now - doing some decor and floral pieces for them.




This weekend is sidewalk sales in Exeter - we'll have all of our odds/ends and stuff I'm bored with out on the street for half price. Check it out!




The girls are pricing more new Christmas merchandise right now.....you'll hate me for saying I can't wait until I can put it out!




You've probably guessed I don't have a lot of spare time right now by the sounds of it - which is ok.........I love my work!!




On a personal level.......well - I guess you can read it above. Working is about all I've been doing lately (other than sleeping and eating) I think I have a slow week coming up in a few......and I plan on getting out of town and disappearing for a couple days!!

So - last weekend - Melissa's flowers turned out STUNNING!!! they were absolutely perfect with her lipstick dresses........

and the absolute BEST part of my job is afterwards.....I received an email from the bride and groom thanking me like crazy for the flowers that everything commented on and loved!! That's what makes me come to work everyday - it's an amazing feeling.

This weekend we have Leslie's wedding going on Friday night at Windermere Manor, and Nancy's at Oakwood on Saturday - they're both somewhat similar actually - green and chocolate brown, - but Leslie's thrown in a touch of pink.

They're both getting really unique stunning centrepieces and bouquets with big fat roses and luscious (gotta love that word) hydrangeas.......I love my job way too much!

wait for the pictures they'll be great.

I've booked a couple more weddings in the last week - people who are still getting married this summer - just relaxed planners - I think that's so neat.

We've been really busy lately - we received an entire skid of fall merchandise - that we've got out in the store - it's beautiful stuff - really nice wreaths, garlands - cool ornamental pumpkins - I'm sorry i know you don't want to hear about fall coming.


Anyways - on an exciting note - I have been invited to be a 'Glitterati' member of WedLuxe magazine of Toronto and Eastern Canada. If you don't have the magazine get the magazine - at shoppers or variety stores - it's awesome.

I'm so excited we'll be featured in the next 2 issues.........I can't believe it - it's by invite only, I'm pretty flattered to be taking part in it!!

Personally - I'm afraid I gave birth to a frog. I took my baby girl to the pool this weekend at her grandparents house......she's addicted to water. This tiny little 15 month old girl LEAPS off the side of the pool into the water - absolutely no fear...it's all I can do to pull her out of the pool!

It just might be the cutest thing you've ever seen!!

Lastly - I'm quite tired today......my dad's 60th birthday is today, and I was up in the middle of the night decorating their lawn with spray paint and pink flamingos....it was good for a laugh!!

Have a great week!
