Storefront



Dream with me for a minute.
A white door facing a sidewalk catches your attention. You are drawn to the window boxes that hang on the big picture window. A hostage to your curiosity - you walk inside and step on painted wood floors. Big silk drapes pool on the ground. A wall is covered with chalkboard paint and the names and prices of flowers are listed randomly. A large worktable sits under a beautiful chandelier and beckons you to create your own bouquet. You notice as they assist you that the friendly owners are wearing handmade one of a kind aprons.

Don't dismay - you too can own an apron. And an assortment of bags if you wish. All kinds of bags made in different materials fashioned in an array of shapes.

And of course, you can treat yourself to a beverage, on us of course. Who knows - we might even find the time to bake cookies or pumpkin bread.


Won't you be our neighbor?
