Mother’s Day in Millinocket

2 May, 2010

Spring visited us early this year and today felt specifically like summer. This weekend before the rush of Mother’s Day Week has been spectacular. Blue skies, soft warm breezes, and the songs of brilliant yellow Goldfinches and red House Finches highlighted the weekend but now it’s on to work!
Knowing that our customers have appreciated the longevity of designs in vases, for this holiday I’ve purchased pottery vases. These nice containers not only offer the keepsake for Mom but allow lots of water for the flowers to stay fresh for Mom to enjoy.
I’m also offering the popular cube design with spring colors and flowers for a “lower to the table” arrangement.
Don’t forget to order early for the best selection and delivery options. Remember, let Mom enjoy her bouquet gift not just on Mother’s Day but for the week before and after her special day. Below are some options of designs and containers we’ll have available for your purchase.

Happy New Year 2010

1 January 2010

What a way to usher in the New Year 2010 – under a winter storm watch/warning and looking forward to a few days of snow!  Just another January in Northern Mid Maine.  The birds are swarming at my feeders outside my kitchen window.  Hordes of goldfinches quickly deplete the sunflower meaties I provide for them.  [...]

Christmas will soon be here!

18 December 2009

We’ve had a few snowfalls. Lovely as they are, coating the trees with fluffy white decoration, soon follows the cold North winds. These combinations make some challanges for deliveries. Of course, we’re warming the van (I warm it up running to Dunkin’ for my coffee), all designs are wrapped in poly to envelop the flowers [...]

Online Florists and Ethics

30 November 2009

Not that I wish to be “political” as I’m far from it, but recently national media began a story regarding online florists giants 1800Flowers.com and FTD.com. The news was regarding customers who had used online ordering and were “duped” into signing for webloyalty and other so called “programs”. The customers (whose credit card numbers were [...]

Final wedding of the season?

28 November 2009

Considering so many of the weddings I’ve had this year have been quickly planned and flowers ordered, I guess I may say with question marks, this may have been my last wedding of this year? A beautiful bride who was wearing an antique silver dress with attendants wearing eggplant colors. I ordered beautiful [...]

Thanksgiving in Maine

14 November 2009

The leaves slowly have left their lofty perches. We’ve been blessed in north Mid-Maine to have a somewhat mild entrance into the fall season. Yes, we’ve had a bit of snow, mostly on Mount Katahdin and a dusting on the ground, but overall sunny days and crisp nights have the Katahdin Region moseying into the [...]

A Disaster Averted

24 October 2009

Well, almost. The disaster began at 8 a.m. Thursday for a gentleman who wished his wife to have her favorite flowers on her desk at work. Instead of calling Millinocket Floral directly, he utilized an order gatherer. Apparently the order gatherer called another florist in our town looking for Stargazer Lilies. The florist did not [...]
