The Flower Shoppe: A First Week's Reflection

It's hard to believe that the Flower Shoppe has just passed our One Week Anniversary, it feels like a month has passed since we took this photo after our first day in business.

First of all, I have to say how incredibly grateful I am to our new customers, neighbors, and friends at Gillian Marie Flower Shoppe. We have loved meeting everyone in the community, and feel incredibly bless to be given this opportunity.

I must give a quick shout out to a few people who have really gone above and beyond to make Blake and I feel welcomed and supported as we start this new adventure. First of all our new family at Sideboards Restaurant has been incredible. Ford and Erin you both rock! If you have not tried Sideboards, you are missing out!! Sideboards is located just around the corner from us on Hartz Ave. I recommend trying the Chicken Salad Sandwich with Currants on Walnut Bread, also the Fried Brussels Sprouts are a must trust me!
Also a huge thank you to Melinda at Hartz and Soles, Mary Ellen and the girls at Papyrus, Brooks and the boys at The Cigar Shop, the Walsh boys at Norm's Place, and Marilyn at Moda Mi. You have all welcomed us to the street with a smile :)

We love our regular visits from customers as well. Johnny and Kristin, you two are such a sweet couple. I am very honored to be part of your wedding, and look forward to continuing our friendship beyond. Michelle, Sharon, Amy, and all of our other loyal new friends... Thank you for your business!

Here are a few photos of our first week!
Best,
Gillian
