FUN with Flowers!!!

The latest in bud vases. The birdcage bud vase....
includes one sweet faux birdie!

Suzy Smiles at you or the person you send her (or him) too... All day long!
So fun, you can't help but feel better every time you see her/him!


The carnation cupcake!
You won't gain one pound when you get one of these!!


Even the cherries on top are pretty to look at!

We have carnation cones too, and daisy shakes!!!
These will certainly brighten and cheer the recipient!
Even on the hottest day!
Fall is just around the corner and wouldn't this Pumpkin Witchie
be a welcome addition to any party
or as a table centerpiece!
It's The Puppy Parade!!


Here's Louis!

Is someone you know on a diet? You can still send a cake!
Lovely and fun and fat free!!!
The cake is faux... but the flowers are real!




Containers for flowers can be fun too!!!
Even the smallest things can be made into a great flower arrangement!

An outdoor wedding calls for a woodsy theme bouquet for this bride...

Soft white carnation bouquets for the bridesmaids, look like one big flower... Lovely.

Hot Pink and Bright Orange Roses were the perfect fit for an early May wedding....


Adding a tropical leaf collar really adds drama!!


A smaller bouquet for the bridesmaids...

and a little something for the flower girl...


The Tables are set with lovely colors and square vase arrangements to liven everything up!!


This bride wanted creamy roses with purple accents of statice....

TAa Dahhhhhh!!!!

Well Folks.... Here are some before and after shots of our new home!! We moved about 4 weeks ago and so far so GOOD!!! Below is the picture of our new outside window.
F.Y.I. we are sharing a space with an Office supply Store - Formerly know as Printer's Island - now known as Divine Office Products. I think it is very 'COOL' to be sharing a space, we both have plenty of room and friendly folks to help our wonderful customers! What more could you ask? We are also conserving energy... very Green...You know!



So that is the back story on our move, now on to the exciting Quickie makeover (it didn't feel quick, trust me, ha ha)... There is still more I want to do, like makeover Divine Office Products, hee hee....Also there are things to do to our side as well, and as you know it all takes TIME... So for now here is what has happened so far....
I was soooo anxious to get started, that I have to admit I was a bit remiss in taking really good before pictures... so hopefully these shots will give you an idea of how it was when we arrived at 3923 Kell Blvd!!
The wood paneled closet at the front of the store....

the one thing I wish I would have really taken a good picture of was the bamboo/grass covered awning that hangs over our side of the store. I was so excited when Roy - the owner- said that we could paint it... and so we did. Quite the task!!!

The color of the walls, sand, of course.... here we had started painting the walls green and had primed the closet.

The black part of the wall is a chalk board and look at that those awning stripes!!! Cute, huh?

This crazy vine design, just about drove me crazy... I thought it was a disaster! But we persevered!! As you can see Jaidon and I were on top of tall ladders risking life and limb for CUTE!!! LOL
The finished chalk board... with everything back in its place!!


Here is the front view...

And looking from the back of the store!!
I think it all turned out quite nicely!!! Things I want to add are clouds at the top... and some faux picture frames to showcase our bellycastings or anything else we might want to show off!! Fun!!!
Be sure to come by and see us!! New shop policy - every child that comes in accompanied with an adult gets a free latex balloon!!! I love how much, kids love balloons!!! Their little faces light up every time!!!

Hope to see you soon!! Vonnie

It has been soooo long!

Sorry for the terrible neglect! We have moved.... is my only excuse! We are sharing a space with the former Printer's Island, now known as Divine Office Products... It makes perfect sense really, we are owned by the same person and we love our new neighbors!!! It's very green and cool too!!!
This weekend we will be painting inside the store... And it will be quite the job too!! I have very high hopes that not only will we finish this weekend, but that it will be CUUUTE!!!!! So please come by for a visit and excuse our little (BIG) mess, root us on or join in... I will have an extra paint brush hanging around I'm Sure!!! LOL I will post before and after pictures soon! Hope to see you soon!!! Vonnie

Happy Mother's Day!!!




At The Basketcase and Flower Shop we have a different philosophy on Mother's Day! We believe in celebrating all the 'Moms' in your life.... Not just your Mother but how about the Mom of your children, or the Mother of your grandchildren, if you have been blessed with grandchildren and Lucky you if you have!!! Don't forget the mom of you nieces and nephews, or the mom of your granddogs!!! LOL... the point is celebrating Mother's Day can encompass lots of special women that have blessed your life in one way or another!! So celebrate them all and let them know that you appreciate all of their hard work nurturing the future...
Moms... where would we be without them?
Call us today and order something wonderful for those special Moms in your life... We have just the perfect gift!!! No matter how big or small, Mom will know that you care!!!
