  Thursdays at the shop just got better. Stop by every Thursday from 2 until close for a fresh bouquet of flowers just in time for the weekend. We will have limited quantities, and each week we will change up the blooms. Oh, and we'll be pouring bubbles! Every Thursday we will post a picture of the bouquet for that week on Facebook and Instagram. Want to make sure you get your blooms? You can call and reserve your bouquet ahead of time!   (June 6 Blooms: Peonies, Tulips, Kochia, Eucalyptus, and Veronica)
