The season is upon us. There were quite a few times today when both lines were would ring at the same time and we would have customers standing in line waiting to place their order. Jan and I made it through the day but tomorrow the pace will pick up even more.
Today, we received our Gerber's, gyp (baby's breath) and carnations. Tomorrow we get the bulk of our flowers. Tuesday we received our roses. Heather orders our roses straight from the farm in Ecuador. No lay over in Miami to dry out for a few days. They are cut on Monday and we receive them on Tuesday. Can't get no fresher than that.
Valentine's Day is our biggest holiday next to Mother's Day. You have to stay focused, laugh and have a good time. But the most important thing is to be organized. I did it for 14 years and I mastered the holiday. My little shop use to put out over 300 orders.
Jubilee is ready for the big day. Our list of things that needed to be done is all crossed off. Let the madness begin......
Sarah took this picture about 8am one morning as we were ready to load up and head to the high school.
