Quite Contrary
They are weeds, he said.
But they are purple, she said.
So he watered them for the rest of his life.
Love, Multiplied
I value each client and the relationship I have with them, but it is truly special when a client becomes a dear friend. Tara and Jimmy were married a little over a year ago and I had the privilege of helping them plan their beautiful wedding.
Through the planning process, Tara and I became good friends, and after her wedding, we would catch up every month or so over a cup of tea and a sweet treat. Thus, you can imagine my happiness when, one morning, she told me she was pregnant. While I couldn’t attend her baby shower as I was out of the country on holiday, her and I were able to celebrate, just the two of us. When I received her text message on Monday, October 15, with the picture of little baby Stella, my love for the Lis family multiplied. Welcome baby Stella.

“Delicious autumn! My very soul is wedded to it, and if I were a bird I would fly about the earth seeking the successive autumns.” – George Eliot
Flowers, Fruit, and Four Years
There is no better way to celebrate four years than having your husband call your friend of Quite Contrary Flowers to make a floral arrangement of blue hydrangeas (the flower symbolizing four years, and one of the wedding flowers) and baby’s breath.
And, when the hydrangeas start to die off, just gather the baby’s breath and put in a cream vase and you have another romantic arrangement.

“A rose is a rose is a rose.” – Gertrude Stein
Grand Rapids is getting a lot prettier, at least from my point of view, which is smack dab in the middle of flowers.
