Peony Passion

I don’t think I’ve ever heard a negative comment about peonies. What’s not to love? They’re perfectly romantic, beautiful, dramatic and fragrant…

I had a great surprise this weekend when I received a call from Kit as she was passing through town…she stopped for a quick visit…I love that girl woman (she was just a sophomore in college when I hired her)! I’m sure most of you designers can relate…the designers who work for us and help contribute to the success of our businesses while sharing in the stresses and joys of it all become family. I’m not only forever grateful for the work my designers put in on behalf of Bliss Flower Studio, but I’m also grateful for the relationships we built over the years. Just one more reason I love the flower business…
