Mothers Day...

So, we're into May... that happened quickly!

May, for florists, means Mothers Day. It's a super busy weekend for us, for all the right reasons.

There's so much to do, Amy was moving so quickly she was a blur!

Mothers Day is a really special day. We shouldn't need to wait for one specific day of the year to acknowledge all of the amazing things our Mums do for us, but sometimes life gets so chaotic that we need a bit of a reminder to let her know how awesome she is. (Note to me, note to you: DON'T WAIT UNTIL NEXT MOTHERS DAY TO TELL MUM HOW MUCH OF A SUPERWOMAN SHE IS. TELL HER AND SHOW HER OFTEN).

It is ALWAYS a good idea to take flowers home to Mum. ESPECIALLY when the bouquet is nearly as big as you!

Flowers are a bit of a luxury, which means we don't buy them for ourselves as often as we would possibly like. But having them in the house is totally awesome. You only need to have them on your table once to realise how much you miss them when they aren't there. Nothing quite like walking in to a house that smells like hyacinths, or coming home from work to see that your lilies have started to open just a little while you've been gone...

Which I guess, is why they make such a popular gift for Mums, come the second Sunday in May. We all know how much she likes having a bunch of flowers on the table, and we know she probably doesn't have them there as often as she should. It's so lovely to be able to give someone something they don't really need, that they don't often buy for themselves, that you know they're going to love.

It's a crazy couple of days for us - suddenly our little shop is choc-a-bloc full of the most beautiful flowers we can get our hands on, and the stems start flying! There's not much room left for florists, after the flowers and clients make their way in, so it's lucky we get along (and appreciate each others totally dreadful puns and dad jokes).

It was so lovely having you all in here over the weekend - the atmosphere is always lovely for Mothers Day, and we were thrilled to watch you collecting such beautiful, personal bunches for the Mums in your world.

Thanks for your support once again... See you soon!
