Friday July 30th

Our flowers arrive fresh daily, Monday through Friday, from the San Diego International Floral Trade Center in Carlsbad. Our trusted buyer, Sandy, works hard to ensure that we always have the freshest, most gorgeous stock on hand. This Friday we had many birthdays, thank yous and anniversaries, two new babies, a sympathy arrangement for a lost dog, two 'just because' arrangements from husband to wife and a gorgeous V.I.P. floral for a very special guest at Loews Coronado. It was a great day at Florabella.


We also designed a beautiful arrangement for Claire's mom in exchange for tickets to see King Lear at The Old Globe Theater in Balboa Park. We loved it! Thanks for the great seats, Claire.




Smiles abound! There is nothing like it - a beautiful, summer night in the park.

I'm thinking we have some Twilight fans in Ecuador







On another note: Once upon a time a friend was visiting us in the shop at the end of a long workday. As we were sweeping up she said "Wait, you're throwing that away?" Peering into our trash can she declared "I bet you have the prettiest trash in town!"

Twilight in the Park - with Tumbling

Girl's night last week in the park with
Graceland - An Elvis Tribute band. These free concerts in the park continue every Tues-Thurs until August 26th.


Maybe by next week our summer weather will finally kick in - although one of us is loving this extended June Gloom.













Also not to be missed - the irresistible floral eye candy of Balboa Park, a botanical dreamland.

Delicious!

Classic color combo - hot, hot pink and vibrant, electric green. Crowd-pleasing deliciousness.
