While I've visited many of the new restaurants, in their VIP Grand Opening, that have currently…read moreopened in Roanoke, Virginia, something that I've noticed in common in all of them has been a beautiful floral arrangement from George's Flowers. They have not only standed out, but have given the different places an air of distinction. Two of the places that come to mind are the Six and Sky Restaurant and the new Starbucks in the heart of Downtown Roanoke. In the first case the flower arrangement was placed on the Host's station and in the second one it was placed on its large conference size table located in one of its corner there. Today, I decided to go visit the flower shop that has come out with such wonderful flower arrangements creations. Since its establishment in 1981, George Clements, the owner, has grown his business into the areas "go-to floral shop for everyday events such as, grand openings, weddings, birthdays, anniversaries, holidays, religious services, get well soon wishes, funerals, celebrations, and special occasions, making a point that not only "ladies prefer flowers." Located on 1953 Franklin Rd SW in Roanoke, Virginia, just around the corner from Towers Shopping Center and with an online presence on their website at georgesflowers.com, this locally-owned flower shop, not only has custom flower arrangements and thoughtful gifts, but is also known for its exceptional same day flower delivery services in Roanoke and the surrounding areas, including Salem, Smith Mountain Lake, Cave Spring, and Vinton. But as if all this wasn't enough, during my visit today, not only was I able to observe one of its flower arrangements' artist crafting a masterpiece for a specific customer's request, but I was able to observe firsthand the friendly, helpful, and professional staff who provide excellent customer service and go above and beyond to ensure satisfaction. As soon as I arrived to the flower shop, I was greeted with a warm welcome and after my request was kindly given a tour of place and shown the different gift products besides flowers that they have available; from gift cards, to boxes of chocolates, to stuffed animals, to bottles of champagne, to name just a few. And if you compare their prices to their masterpiece creation you're definitely getting more value for your money. I wanted to donate a flower arrangement to the Madonna House Chapel for a Special Mass they have once a month by one of our local priests, and was able to find the perfect flower arrangement in one that they were working on. It came from their catalog with certain modifications requested by the customer and created by one of their flower artists. They provided me with the name of the arrangement, the delivery price according to their address, and the option of coming back to order it once I knew the exact date, calling in the order, or ordering it through their website. In conclusion, I highly recommend this local flower shop to all those needing flowers for a special occasion. I invite you to view my photographs accompanying this review, to get even a better feel for the place as you know a picture is worth a thousand words, and I assure you that you'll be greatly satisfied beyond your highest of expectations.

Jan also invited - even encouraged - the bride to come and inspect her order as it was being created to make sure they met her expectations. The flowers were beautiful and exactly what we wanted.

It was a fun day spent with these ladies, and I really appreciate their hard, and beautiful work!

While I was visiting the Corners Shopping Center in Cave Spring, Virginia, trying out a new…read morerestaurant, I discovered this retail chain, specializing in greeting cards, gift wrap, ornaments and gifts for all occasions. One that I used to love years ago, especially during the Holiday Season, and one that I thought had been extinguished a long time ago. Yet it hadn't. It was alive and well, and greater than ever before. After being awarded the Triad Yelper of the Year 2024 Award at the Yelpies Award Ceremony last year, an event that honored the highest-performing Yelp Elites, I decided that this year, as an All-Star Yelp Elite, I not only wanted to be the first to discover new stores and restaurants, and bring them to the attention of the public, but also to uncover those found in hidden paths that for one reason or another have not reached the public in its totality. And this Greeting Card Shop in Cave Spring, Virginia, is the perfect example. I'm talking about the Banner's Hallmark Shop. The beloved Greeting Card Shop of yesteryear still exists today. As long as we have people we love and appreciate. There will always be a demand for greeting cards. They provide a way of telling others how much they mean to us and how much we appreciate them. As soon as I entered the shop, I encountered a display setup celebrating Snoopy's Birthday. And to help celebrate it they were having a 20% Off Sale on all Peanuts Gifts, Gift Wrap, and Stationary. A very friendly and helpful young lady greeted me and welcomed me to the store and offered to help me find anything I was looking for. She then went to the Keepsake Ornaments section and explained to other customers how some of the modern ornaments had acquired movements and other interesting effects. As long as we have Christmas Trees, there will also be a need for ornaments. She told me how some people still collect them and enjoy showing them off to family and friends during the Holiday Season. The store was clean and everything in it was so organized. I loved all the gifts they had and the extensive collection of Greeting Cards for all occasions. We tried to look for a Thank you card to give to my Auto Dealership Sales Consultant that sold me my new car, but couldn't find one. Yet in his office he had a collection of cards that he had received from his customers throughout the years. That goes to show you that even in greeting cards, there is always a nitch that even big companies like Hallmark haven't yet explored. Before I left the place, after having viewed all their gifts and items, I ended up signing up for the Hallmark Crown Rewards Club and purchasing a Snoopy typing on a typewriter cellphone holder to take advantage of their sale. I highly recommend you visit this beautiful store when you need to find a gift and card to give to that special person on a special occasion, weather family or friends. For those Special Hallmark Moments still exist today, and never will go out of style.
