"Stop and smell the roses" The older I get (and the more…read morehectic society seems to become), the more I realize this isn't just a silly adage but very sage advice. Flowers, in all forms, should be a normal part of life. And cut flowers have this magical property of bringing just a sprinkle of nature into our homes. Recently, I needed to have flowers delivered. I have a favorite florist on the North side, but I thought the delivery address may be out of their zone or I would have to pay extra. So, to Yelp I went! And, once again, the Yelp community came through in a big way! Penny's was the best reviewed florist in the area I was searching. Honestly, I was a little nervous because their featured image is of 30 floor lamps and not flowers. But I realized they also sell home decor (& more!). And I couldn't really argue with the 4.8 rating (4.9 after this review??). I have never visited Penny's in person, but I may stop by sometime to check out the housewares. I did my shopping online like you do for most florists. The website was easy to navigate and included pictures of the flower arrangements. I was also pleasantly surprised by their prices. They offered several price ranges, but even the lower range still offered great selections. I chose one right in the middle. Checking out was a breeze, as well as inputting all of the delivery information. There wasn't a way to select a time for delivery that I saw. You can type in requests, but there is also a note that says time requests are not guaranteed. But I moved forward hoping my delivery would take place during the business day. On the day of delivery, I received a courtesy call at 8:30am that he flowers were on their way and would be delivered in about an hour! The arrangement was beautiful, smelled exquisite, and looked like the photo online. Well, done, Penny's. Well, done! While my favorite bouquet continues to be that of a fine, red wine, I truly appreciate the scent of fresh-cut flowers. Over the past few years, I have realized just how important smell is to me. Whether it's the aroma of dinner roasting in the oven, lighting a candle after cleaning the house, or an intoxicating perfume lingering in the air... smells are powerful. Fresh flowers brighten up a room both aesthetically and olfactory-lly (?!).

On one occasion when they didn't have what I was looking for, the owner personally ordered it for me. I've purchased several houseplants here over time, and the owner and staff are always incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, and helpful. The outdoor area behind the shop is just as impressive. Their landscaping business clearly influences the gorgeous layout, and browsing through the tents in the summer for plants and vegetables is one of my favorite parts of visiting. Vogels is a long standing, family run business operated by a husband and wife team and their dedicated staff. Their pride and care shine through in everything they do.

Rachel, the owner, has arranged several bouquets for me personally as well as for town events. She is the warmest, sweetest person you will ever meet and treats all of her customers as if they were her own family. She puts so much love and thoughtfulness into each bouquet as if she were preparing it for her own family and friends (which you will become after your first meeting with her!) and she will "wow" you with every order she designs. Yesterday, all I had to do was text her and a half hour later she had a bouquet ready for my mom and I to take to my dad's interment wall at the cemetery. I can't say enough about Rachel and how amazing she is! Please consider Seasons of Life Flowers for any of your upcoming holiday floral needs! You will instantly have a new "like-family-friend" as well as a gorgeous arrangement! Pictured with this post are arrangements she has made for me.

Over Xmas we gave them as gifts on Xmas Eve for Christmas Tables and today I am so pleased with the Centerpiece for Easter tomorrow. Years ago I would walk a couple blocks down the street to purchase bouquets as often as possible from the Grey house on Kessler shortly after they were picked and today's purchase at the Market reminds me of those happy times too. I know there are many options now for flowers in the grocery stores and other retail outlet however you can see this unique naturalistic bunch is spectacular and worth it.

I hired Linda from Harvest Moon Flower Farm after receiving a recommendation from a friend that…read morelives in Bloomington, IN. Linda did an amazing job with the flowers for my wedding down in Bloomington! I had her special order Picasso Calla Lilies and arrange all of the boutonnières for family members. She also put together three lovely terrariums for the tables at the wedding, as well as some greenery for our wedding cake. The arrangements were gorgeous and so was her farm. Just two things to consider: she does not deliver, so it made it a little more difficult to get the arrangements before the wedding. While she is only 20 minutes outside of Bloomington, it wasn't on the way to our venue. I knew my parents would love to see the farm, so that made it worthwhile for me. The other thing is that she has two (adorable) dogs that will greet you when you arrive. I LOVE dogs, but don't care for them to jump on me with muddy paws. . . ;) When we went to pick up the wedding flowers, the dogs jumped onto the side of my newly-washed vehicle and left mud marks & scratches on my car. I had my car washed again and the marks from the dogs are still there. Not the end of the world, but not fabulous either. If I were throwing an event in Bloomington, I would definitely hire her again!

I will say I was surprised that there wasn't more floor space since it looks rather roomy from the parking lot. But once inside, there are basically two rooms for shopping while the rest of the space is storage area behind the counter. The staff was friendly and offered to assist in finding something. The space was organized and arranged so that it presented the items in groupings that made sense, not cluttered like some spaces. Review #2098
