I’ve Been on Hiatus.

Tuesday, April 29th, 2008

First of all, I want to apologize for the lack of updates that I’ve made to the blog lately.  There have been so many positive things going on with the shop and life in general that I just, honestly, have put the blog on the back burner (Shame on me!!).

I love keeping you all posted and I hate that I haven’t been doing that.  But, here’s what has been going on.

1.  I was elected as the new Village Clerk/Treasurer for the Village of Felicity, Ohio.  My term began on April 1st and I attended classes in March as well.  I’ve been working at the Village office just about every single hour that I haven’t been at the flower shop and I’ve adjusted the shop hours until I get the hang of the clerk position.
2.  Our new hours.  We are now open from 10 am - 5pm except on Wednesday we are open from 10am - 1pm.  Saturday we are open from 10 am - 3 pm and we’re closed on Sundays.  We are going to keep this schedule into the summer and we will return to our 9am opening time in the fall of 2008.

However, don’t fear.  We will still be making deliveries for funerals early in the morning so our new hours will not effect our delivery schedule.

3.  Deliveries.  We are reducing the number of deliveries that we make each day to combat rising gas prices and we are trying our hardest not to have to raise delivery prices.  Our delivery schedule is as follows.

10:00 am- 1st round of deliveries made for orders placed in advance.

1:00- Deliveries placed before noon, includes all orders to be delivered to the local school districts.

4:00- Final delivery of the day.  Orders placed after 3:30 will be delivered the following day.  However, please inquire about our special messenger service available for an extra charge.

We feel by raising the number of deliveries made with each trip we will be able to keep from raising our delivery prices, for now.

All of this information is, of course, subject to change and as gas prices rise we will do everything in our power to keep from raising prices.

Also, our website is getting ready for a major overhaul.  Stick with us as we transition into a new skin.  Online shopping is on the horizon and we can’t wait to unveil our new site you you!

We are so glad to be your florist in Felicity, Ohio.  We hope that you know you mean the world to us.

Please call me if you have any questions about our new hours.

Thanks!!

Heather
