Lumsden Pumpkin and Scarecrow Festival

Well, we had a wonderful day this year.  The sun was shining and the park was crowded with folks, young and old.  I was even lucky enough to get a Spider Burger from BRIMMER & CO. Construction before they ran out.


This fabulous fall floral display was raffled off at our booth.  The lucky winner was drawn at 3:30pm on Saturday.  Thanks to everyone who bought tickets, and the winner is Florence Holt of Lumsden.  
You can get your own Autumn flowers for your table this holiday weekend.  Call to order yours today!

Weddings: To Theme or not to Theme?









Besides being fun to plan, theme weddings are becoming very popular.  Here are some themes that we really like.


           Watch for * = available at Lumsden Florist etc. 

   ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Country Fair


Casual setting, usually outdoors, under a big event tent*, decorate with paper lanterns*




- Hot dog stands and candy apples amidst ring toss and dart games


- Favours: small honey jars with custom labels*, or handmade soap with your favourite scent and custom labels*


- Have guests toss air popped popcorn in lieu of rice



  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~



Fresh Garden or Lakeside Cottage

- Line paths with ambience: using paper lunch bags or recycled 2L bottles with tops cut off; fill to 1/3 with sand and nestle in lit votive.


- Prop your old canoe onto its side, fill with ice and Voila - you have your bar half ready!



- Centrepieces: collect driftwood and stones from the lakeshore.  OR handmade birdhouses* which you can auction off!  OR try potted herbs or small plants*



- Set straw bales around in clearings and under trees for sitting space.  Cover with bright coloured blankets and quilts.

  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


Vintage Vanity Fair 

  - Hit second hand shops for fun classic diva accessories: Cigarette holders, half veiled hats, shawls, boas... Have handy for guests to use.


- Feathers! On everything: cake, in hair, with flowers. Use feather boas as garland and piled as centrepieces.*


- Flowers can be anything, but the full, imperfect garden roses look sooo good with their own half veil.*


- Think: old Coca Cola bottle machines with glass bottles cokes on hand, and of course, champagne darling!

   ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


Modern Zen
    


- Zen in peaceful, and relaxing. Choose colours which are quiet yet modern: pale blue or cream with espresso.


- Centrepiece ideas abound: single, simple bamboo stems* OR a tall vase of curly willow* OR floating candle orchid vases seen here.*


- Location can be either outside with groomed rock or sand garden accents OR inside with elements of nature brought in.


- Have your bridesmaids hold simple paper parasols* in lieu of flowers


- Line walkways with a trail of rose petals* or river stones*

Valentines Day 2010

Valentines Day



We were quite busy, with many brand new customers in the shop! Sean and I opened up for 3 hours on Sunday Feb 14, just to help out the last minute guys. Even I was surprised with 4 dozen roses waiting for me when I got home! (I love you too Sean!)






Our best selling design was either the "Forever Yours" heart shaped dozen roses, or "Lip Service" which consisted of tulips, roses and either a gerbra daisy or stargazer lily.






Equally popular was the 6 fresh cut roses and a box of local Prairie Cherry chocolates. Have you tried them? Delicious!

As you can see, the shop was fully stocked with many choices of flowers, all fresh from Ecuador, Australia, BC and other points afar!












So, flowers were the number ONE gift for the ladies. We discovered that the women who were shopping for their guys tended to choose other items:


- gourmet cheeses
- imported chocolates
- massage oils
- rose petals
- Padraig slippers


Thank you to everyone for your continued interest and support in our little shop!
