When flowers break the internet!

Who would have thought it that nature would have triumphed over technology! Say It With Flowers!

I love flowers. I always have. I always will. They will be my first and foremost love.

Except for my wonderful supportive husband and darling little puppy Booboo… I digress...

Our precious Booboo (cheeky pic x).

And except when it comes to my amazing team of Floral Artisans. Then, these girls are the ones I need to step in to protect – and yesterday, it was from their outstanding and overriding commitment to our fabulous customers and their need for flowers on Mother’s Day.

I never thought I would come between one of our lovely customers’ need for flowers and our need to preciously supply them… but I did. We closed the doors, and turned off the website. Well... OK... we still had a little lifeline and were accepting orders over the phone, but mostly, we closed… and we closed on Saturday! Wowzers!!

Totally overwhelmed by the love and support of our fabulous customers, and with a very heavy heart I pulled the plug. For those that missed out, I do hope you understand and still love us! My poor team were dead on their feet, even with extra staff and extra drivers. We did it though – for those customers who were able to get their orders in before we closed.

What did we learn?

We are loved! Thank you x
We have an amazing team – of florists, of drivers, of suppliers! Thank you, thank you, thank you xxx
We need more – more space, more florists, more drivers! We are working on it… wink!
We need more time – and how! Remember, the early bird catches the worm.

Love, GL x
