We Survived Another Valentines Day! WOW!

It was hectic. It was exciting. It was stressful. It was wonderful. It was just what we expected. It was busy.
Our wonderful staff performed marvelously.
Most of all, our customers were GREAT. THANK YOU ALL.

Over the years, we have wondered what would happen if we chose not to do Valentines Day. Just chose not to participate. Would anyone miss us?
The only reason we would even think of such a thing is because of the total misconception presented by much of the media and some people that florist's are making a killing on Valentines Day. The false story that the florist is actually ripping people off by raising their prices just because they can. NOTE: we realize that not everyone feels this way, but the story gets out there every year.

If the general public only knew the challenges involved with this day of all days, they might be a little more understanding. I won't belabor the point but, we have a tremendous increase in cost of goods and overhead for this one day. It is incredible.
At the end of the day, after all the extra help is paid, the flower suppliers are taken care of, the extra van rental paid and all is said and done, we wonder where all the big profits are.
The one thing we can be pleased with is the fact that we got the orders out, we made people smile, and we can look back at a job well done.

Thanks again to all our wonderful customers and staff!
