Impatient with the Rain

April showers bring May flowers. Right?  Well, it's true and we do need the rain. But I've been so busy at the shop that my time time has been limited so, I'm craving a day off that can be spent with a spade and trowel.

I came across this beautiful centerpiece from Bontanica and I wanted to share the wonderful spring colors and varieties with you.


It's a very humble design - just a straight forward centerpiece - but the colors are so lovely. Enjoy.

 I am taking advantage of a few quiet moments to make good on my word to feature the clever and talented Marcia Phillip. Take a peek at the MacKenzie Childs Designer Showcase this past May.


Her table was so oh la la. I made a few silk nosegays to her specifications but all the rest is all Marcia and MacKenzie.

Love, love the mix and match colors Marcia chose
Be sure to visit Marcia's website.

In addition to her talent, she has two wonderful Burmese cats. They have cat personality to the 10th power and they stole my heart

Christmas Eve in Syracuse



 Santa Says "Celebrate"
 

The Whistlestop was extra busy this Christmas. We have added a new design talent to our staff - Sharon is a welcome addition and it seems like she's been here forever. It seems like we have all been here forever. Christmas is a loooong holiday for floral designers.

Now Christmas Eve is finally here! All the poinsettias have been sold. There are just enough centerpieces for the last minute shoppers. And we are scrubbing the pine sap off our hands and preparing to depart to be with our families.

We will be closing at 2:00 pm today and will be closed the day after Christmas. The shop will reopen on Tuesday. But there is no break in the rush...we have three weddings on New Years weekend.

Thank you and Merry Christmas, Happy Kwanzaa, Happy Hanukkah, Happy Festivus to all our customers and friends.
