Well Mothers Day has been and gone, and we're now catching our breath again. I don't think any of us knew what our names were by the time we'd got through Thursday, Friday and Saturday! Luckily, we all love Mothers Day in the shop, and we had great fun trying to keep up with the orders. Mothers Day itself was pretty calm by comparison despite all the deliveries and collections.
Although we had a lot of pre-orders from our published collection, I was worried that the credit crunch and the horrendous roadworks outside the shop would have a significant impact on Mothers Day sales this year; thankfully we were rushed off our feet. The two favourites from the collection were Love Hearts and Milky Bar...not sure whether this relates to the sweets themselves, or the flowers used but a large number of Mums around Kent received one of these arrangements. Spring hand-ties were also popular, and no sooner had we made our beautiful tulip and hyacinth bouquets in moulenbekia frames, they flew out of the door.
Despite thinking we had pre-ordered far too many flowers when they arrived in two batches last week, we ended up re-stocking on Monday, so I guess all the planning and worrying paid off. Onwards and upwards as we plan for this weeks weddings and start to think about new ventures...watch this space for further details.
