Season's Greetings

We just wanted to take a moment to say thank you to everyone who turned out to support our recent eighth annual Holiday House event.

As always we had an amazing time and we could not do it without our incredible team.

Take a sneak peek behind the scenes of how we created this special festive fun-filled day...

It was the usual excitement that built as we prepared for our annual Holiday House. We were all aflutter at the idea of spreading Christmas cheer, but our enthusiasm was mitered by the need to be realistic given our current pandemic restraints [even Santa Claus must wear a mask after all].

But we were aglow with the spirit of the holidays, planning what we might use to bring a bit of the season to our customers near and far. The idea of a holiday boutique was impractical, but a holiday outdoors sounded like just the right amount of fun. So, Adam and Co. put on their planning hats, and began scouring the markets for holiday ideas that could last all year round.

We found the typical poinsettias, holiday greens, and trees of all forms – but it was the unusual gifts such as amaryllis, cyclamen, and of course the ivy topiary that were begging to be had! The colorful yet somber holiday blooms were ideal to fill our holiday baskets and by extension bring a unique feature of this winter season.

After we acquired a fine selection of holiday product, we decided to create our online boutique so that our customers could customize their shopping experience. This took a couple days to get everything up and running. Meanwhile, Adam started creating an “outdoor” boutique in our garage space to help enhance the shopping experience once customers came to retrieve their online purchases.
