Garrett's Flower Shop's new owners are
celebrating their expanded and remodeled premises. They will not
only be offering great floral designs for all occasions but works by local
potters, locally made soy candles, Debbie Roos' greeting cards and lots of
other items to tickle your fancy. Refreshments, door prizes, discounts
will be offered. It is rumored each lady attending will receive
a free rose!
Jim and Robert, the new owners, also operate Carol's
Good Earth Farm. They have a great array of interesting and unusual
blooms during the season. The vase life of their flowers is far beyond
expected. Lilies would frequently last 2-3 weeks.
I met them when I purchased their flowers at the Chatham Mill Farmer's
Market in Pittsboro,NC. Jim has a good eye for color and design. He
will help you select what is right for the occasion and the exact spot you want
to place your flowers. Robert is usually in the fields working with the
flowers. Together they will meet your floral needs.
( I admit I am biased. They spoiled me with their flowers at Chatham Mill Farmer's Market. )

creativity is not just limited to our gardens or flower arranging. Many
of us are also interested in the Needle Arts So I thought I would tell you that
a Quilting and Needle Art Extravaganza is
being held this weekend, January 27th and 28th in Statesville, NC at the
Statesville Civic Center. So if you are looking for fabric, new ideas, a
new art form or just something to get you looking at those incomplete
projects scattered about your home with new eyes, check out this event.
