Even though some of the gifts are a bit pricier, I'm sure they're worth every penny because they're so good.

Now I'm not their usual target demographic, but I appreciate the family history and their legacy in Wheat Ridge. The original business used to be next door, which now functions as an event space and storage. This store, however, is two floors and filled to the brim. To give perspective on their audience, my mother would absolutely love this place. Having said that, I do appreciate quality florals and bouquets. Heck, I even have a gardenia tattooed on my forearm! Well, my wife was due for a beautiful arrangement, and I was able to find one here. The best part? These flowers actually last! Not like the cheap ones you buy at the grocery store. For the past 10 days, the flowers have brightened up our dining room table. The woman I spoke with was very kind and helpful. I hope they continue to have premade bouquets on hand, because it makes it very easy on the buyer to get in and get out. PS, love the old working cash register they have!

The Gift House is my main source for my Walt Disney Classics Collection obsession. which I've been collecting since 1993. Years ago, I happened to stumble on The Gift House on one of my trips to Colorado. There are few other dealers that are genuinely excited about collectibles like I am, especially all the Disney lines they carry. Whether you're looking for any of the Enesco lines (WDCC, Lenox, Jim Shore, Britto, Precious Moments and many, many more), The Gift House has something for every collector. And not just Disney, no. They have Star Trek, Harbour Lights, Dept. 56, Armani...the list goes on for days. If you need some over the top, honest and super nice customer service, look no further than The Gift House. Call, email, Amazon Store. You really won't be disappointed! PS: Check in with Yelp for some special treats!!!

I love that we still get to enjoy these beautiful creations now 3 years later! My second daughter decided to do the same and go to Ramah only this time I got to participate! We had Alicia for our floral designer. She is so creative and really listened to what my daughter was asking for. She was so patient and offered alternatives. Within the hour we had picked a beautiful full bridal bouquet, bridesmaids bouquets, groom boutonniere, groomsmen boutonnières, and corsages for family. These pictures are the rough draft of the flowers chosen. I also included a picture of our daughter who was married in 2016 which her finished bouquet and maid of honor (our other daughter) bouquet. We highly recommend Raman's Flower Co. and beware they are very popular and busy so plan for your events ahead of time!

We went out on this sunny and warm October day, glad to enjoy some time outdoors in the sun. We were greeted, as well, with an enjoyable stroll through local venue booths sporting everything from beeswax products to locally mixed spices to jewelry made from local stones (think petrified wood and Marble's marble, among many others). I was drawn to the designs at a T-shirt shop, and when I couldn't find my size in the design I wanted, they assured me that I could email them and they would make it for me and send it along to my home. The jewelry maker at Waystone (mywaystone.com) promised that if I could bring her a piece of petrified wood that I had discovered in my backyard, she would make it into something special to display in my home. While she accepts items through mail, since she is just down I-70 just east of Denver, I mean to bring it right to her. I was excited to visit this arts fair, and came away with some nice items, along with the cards of some artisans to whom I will reach out for some custom items. What a great way to spend a glorious fall day outside!
