This will be short and sweet because this whole experience was as such. I arrived in the area, just on a visit, and felt the great desire to make someones day. On that note, I jumped on Yelp and looked for a local florist to help me make that so. To be honest, I was looking for a place that I could just walk in, grab a pre-made thing, be on my way out and look pretty cool. I chose this place based on the high reviews and some pictures. I liked what I saw and read.
So I went about looking for this place. I Google map'd it and was on my way. I followed the instructions and...passed it. Turned around and passed it again. It was then I realized I didn't know what the hell I was looking for. So, I parked, got out and wandered the street it was on, like a crazy person. I may have walked up to another person's house. I claim nor deny nothing. They had nice furniture. So I decided to use they other use of my smartphone: The phone part. I called the business and went about the awkward task of asking a few questions that just screamed I had no idea what I was doing. I asked if there was a display room, if there was anything ready-made, and where the hell I was goin! She said there was no display room or anything pre-made. The store was actually in her garage. That garage was in the house next to the one I was in front of and, may or may not have, stood at the door for way too long without knocking.
I went over and, sure enough, there was a garage full of flower clippings, boxes, vases, bows, ribbons, work areas and a small TV playing soap operas. I walked in and informed her I was the one who called and admitted I really went out on a limb with this and asked her what she had. It was then we began to construct an original piece from what she had left. It was closing time and she was shutting down for the weekend so the supply was limited, according to her. Well what she was limited to was exactly what I was feeling. She gave me options and recommendations and we went about piecing together my own lil work of art. In a few minutes we had created some that was amazing to look at. It was better than anything I could have found, pre-made, and I had the warm feeling of knowing I created this, just for someone special. She put it all in a nice vase and wrapped it in a bow and, before you knew it, I was out the garage and on my way. The cost was very satisfactory and the experience was worth every cent. Tack on the smile it created, from the recipient, and I can say this was the best choice I could have ever made, in terms of finding a florist on short short notice.
While I don't recommend doing it the way I did it, nor loitering around a random house for a few minutes, I have zero hesitation recommending this place to any and all, for their floral needs, no matter what the occasion is. Go get some flowers! read more
