Our web site is www.carverflowers.com.

We have been in business for almost two years.

I am half-way through a 3-year floristry degree program from the Institute of Floristry in Minneapolis, MN with Ardith Beveridge.

I called Steve McClellan from Garden Delights Fine Florist in Franklin, TN (got his number from the Flower Shop Network) to place a florist to florist order for a customer. We got to talking, and he recommended I join this group for industry support.

I hope to gain more floral industry knowledge and peer support.

While fairly new to the floral industry, I have worked in marketing and operations (in the financial services industry) for 30 years. I am both a good designer and a good business person. I am friendly and have a good sense of humor, but I am dead ser

Welcome!!!!

It's great to see you here Annette!

Over the past couple of years I have had the pleasure of watching Annette grow her business. She might be relatively new to flowers but she is a very smart operator and has shared a lot of great ideas with me.

Welcome to FlowerChat! There is always lots to learn and lots to share. I was just at Koehler for a design show today. (Ardith is vacationing though) Best wishes from St CLoud Floral!

[CarverFlowers]

Thanks so much, Mark. Has it really been that long since I joined Flower Chat? And nearly a month has gone by and I've been too busy to "jump on." It's going to take me awhile to get the hang of this, but thanks for the welcome and kind words.

Thanks, Mike. Sorry I waited so long to reply. Actually, I didn't wait intentionally -- I just figured out I had "messages" on this site! Yes <sigh>, it's going to take me awhile to get "acclimated." But thanks for the welcome.

 

[CarverFlowers]

Thanks, so much. My St. Cloud connection is I have a step-son attending SCSU right now, and doing great! Don't get there much, but next time I do, I'll stop in. Thanks for the welcome. I'm a one-armed paper-hanger here, so don't know how much time I'll actually get to spend on this site, but it seems very worth-while.

 

[Carol Bice]

Welcome and tell Ardith hello for me. Enjoy this and post often.

Welcome to FC. I just got on your website, and I think it is great. I loved the flitter fairies ! I think they would be a great addition to my shop. I emailed them to see about becoming a dealer. I hope I hear back from them. Is there a huge minimum? Some of their other toys looked great too.

Again, welcome !

 

[CarverFlowers]

Minimum is 1 dozen. Seriously.

I took a class a few years ago with Ardith, she is wonderful!
