Hi, it’s Christina –
Good Morning! Short and
sweet today because I only have half an hour to write and post (with links and
pictures).
The staff at B&C are
work horses! Holy Crow!! I literally stood from 9:00 am – 7:45 pm. My feet
hurt. My back hurts. Cripes, even my hair hurts. I cannot even imagine how they
do this 360 days out of the year.
A zillion more orders were
taken, some made right on the spot. Several were so incredibly beautiful, I
just had to take a moment to stop and admire them. In the midst of all the
joyous Valentine’s frenzy, unfortunately there was some sorrow as well. There will
be no rest for the weary once Valentine’s Day is over, because several funeral arrangements
will need to be made. Luckily the viewing is not today or having flowers for it
would have been a challenge.
I recall this happening
during my previous flower shop experience. Folks don’t just give roses for
Valentine’s Day, they give ALL flowers, and with the sales volume rising
exponentially this time of year, come February 15th most shops are
completely out of ALL flowers, and anxiously awaiting a delivery. This shop is
no different. We have red roses still, and a smattering of other flowers, but
that’s about it.
Monday’s delivery is going
to be massive because it will basically be restocking the entire store –
flowers, greens, fillers (baby’s breath, waxflowers, etc), vases, boxes, cello
wrap, you name it. I guess it’s a good problem to have. I’m just glad I’ll have
time to recuperate before my services will be needed again.
Okay, I have to go get
ready. I was seriously debating wearing roller-skates to work today, but I
think I’ll just go with sneakers. I hope you have a Happy Valentine’s Day, and
happy writing!
Your
Next Challenge is:
This
is the gift I give to you…
You have ten minutes (be
honest). There is no right or wrong, just write. Spelling and punctuation don’t
count, and NO ONE is allowed to criticize what someone else has written. Go.
