Birthday Flowers in the Age of COVID-19 -…read more Somethings in life must be celebrated on time regardless of surrounding risks. So it was that a bouquet of fresh cut flowers were required to honor my wife's birthday in the middle of a quarantine stay at home order. Roses didn't feel spontaneous enough, nor as crazy ebullient as the moment needed. No, the creative hand of a true florist and flora lover was the way to go. I used the third party online vendor I had worked with before, but to my good fortune they subbed out to Penny's in Glenside for execution. They were on time and on my wavelength. We left the package on the porch for a day out of an abundance of caution to allow any Covid cooties to be rendered inert. When we brought it inside to the kitchen, and unbound its wrapping, we beheld a riot of daisies, sunflowers, zinnias, red carnations, a few gorgeous coral roses and dried sinuatum. They were soft to touch and scented like the dawn of Spring. Most importantly, they generated the emotional response I was hoping for from the object of my affections. She kvelled like a purring kitten, and treated me like I was the celebrant, not her. Just as it should be. Penny's had it exactly right. I now have a new florist.

This place is definitely better for people who cook in bulk or have larger households. If you live alone like I do, you'll probably end up sharing or splitting items because quantities are big. BYOB- bring your own bags not bottle! Lol The staff is generally nice, and they stay pretty well stocked. Just make sure you check your bags carefully before selecting because sometimes you'll find a bruised tomato or something that's starting to spoil. Prices are decent, and they have a nice assortment of flowers with reasonably priced vases, which is always a plus. Overall, it's doable and convenient if you know what you're going for. Would love to hear how your experience has been.

The owner asked for me to send her a text so she could see the arrangement, I did and she told me the flowers she could create the bouquet with. I placed my order close to my wedding day. Parking: Not the best. There is street parking and a lot around the corner which was full also. I had to drive around.l before I found a spot. Pack patience. Service: nice, accommodating and quick. My bouquet was ready and waiting when I arrived. Pricing was moderate. Overall my bouquet was amazing!!!! Totally satisfied.

I love this little store! The other day I had wall sconces on my mind but, as usual, when you're…read moreactually looking for something, it can be rather hard to find. I wanted sconces that would hold taper candles, not the electric sort that leave you having to hide the trailing cord. So I decide to run to Sweet Magnolia to replace a candle that had recently burnt out completely when, lo and behold!, there is the most gorgeous pair of gold-leafed wall sconces hanging right before my eyes! This is why I love Sweet Magnolia - you can find such elegant pieces here when you least expect it. I also appreciate that their prices don't put a huge dent in your wallet. $58 for the pair? I'll take them! The store also carries the greatest soy candles ever by Aquiesse which last a rather long time and come in several delightful fragrances. They also carry an array of other home goods - Forte teas, place settings, bath and body products, stationery, baby gifts, and jewelry. Definitely a great little shop for finding last minute gifts or a treat for yourself. I've seen similar items at other stores like Anthropologie for twice the price, so why not patronize a local entrepreneur instead?

Their garden & nursery specialists are very helpful & well educated when trying to identify plant diseases when bringing clippings in ziplock bags & will test your soil's ph. They have a good selection & variety of all your garden needs; from tools, supplies, plants, pots, trees, decorative garden items to delivered stone, mulch, sand, garden top soil, rain barrels to Ladybugs. Ive gotten other plants, trees & garden soil from a dozen of the local nurseries & landscapers from this area & was truly disappointed after doing so. I ended up with diseased areas from their bad soil that had invasive weeds to finding an animals leg in it; their trees died after arriving sickly & most or all of the plants I picked up died were already sick & none of them survived or stood by their warranties. The only reason I even went somewhere else was because Primex didn't have it in stock or I was out in the area & wanted to try some of their plants in my garden & picked them up on the fly. Never again. I lost a lot of money & won't ever go anywhere except Primex. They are the best of the best!

Lorri incorporated them with roses and made my bouquets stunning and elegant, while remaining simple and not overstated.
