I have a few questions before I can cast my vote yea or nay for membership.

Are you a hobbiest who works out of your home or are you a full-service professional with all the neccessary licenses, tax forms, and stuff required to operate a business?

How long have you been involved with and in the floral industry?

What kind of formal training have you had in the field of professional floral design and the floral industry business?

Why are you operating out of your home..........Assuming you have all the proper equipment including coolers, equipment, candlelabra, and other accoutrements of our industry?

Ricky,
If you go to her website, many of your questions will be answered. It's obvious from the quality of her work, she is no hobbiest!

A quote if you study her web site:



"love of flowers led Carol to open a flower shop some twenty years ago. Customers came in to breathe in a certain fragrance; focus on a particular flower; embrace a natural color, or, in every instance, find a piece of a garden of their past or present. Her passion was to create bouquets and centerpieces detailed to individual wishes. She loved the personal aspect of the floral shop. For that very reason, Carol gave up her flower shop to redirect her creativity and expertise."

Trust me if you look at her gallery, no one does that scope of business without the propers very long.

Hi Carol. Thanks again for taking the time to answer the questions.

While we understand there are many really wonderful home based businesses out there, it's important for us to make certain our members are professionals who invest time, money and talent into their careers. It's obvious you fit the bill. :)

Welcome again. Wander the site at will and if you have any navigating questions just ask. There is always someone willing to help.
