Greetings from the Outerbanks of North Carolina.

My name is John and I'm here as OBXflowerman.

I manage The Flower Gallery in Kill Devil Hills and we are just completeing our first fiscal year of operation. Wow,what a great year of meeting new customers and getting the ball rolling for future success.

I first started in the floral industry as an after school delivery boy in very small town. I got my drivers license in the shop station wagon,and shortly thereafter made my first arrangement,well remade someone elses arrangement,after taking a hump in the road too fast and having all the roses jump jump out of the vase. So it was in that staton wagon I made my first rose arrangement.

I have worked in the industry as a wholesale flower truck driver, and at several retail shops during my time in and out of the flower industry.

I've been lurking here at Flower Chat for a while,and enjoy everyones playful banter even when they dissagree with each other,for the most part everyone is very respectful of each other.

Other than managing the shop, well, its just me and one other person, so we both take care of all the duties, I'm a roller coaster enthusiast who travels as often as possible to ride the rails of the country's newest coasters.

Thanks for taking time to read my introduction,and i look forward to being a full contributing member of the Flower Chat community.

Hi John,
Welcome to Flowerchat! Now that you're fully introduced, I hope you'll participate, and not just read! They always say your best designer needs to be your driver!

I recently was talking with the Chamber of Commerce in the Outer Banks area about how they promote the area as a destination wedding site. We're trying to do the same in our area through our Chamber and they were very helpful with suggestions.

welcome,
tracy
 
Welcome, Welcome!! Gotta love these one and two person shops!!
 
From your intro, you're going to fit right in! Feel free to share your comments.
 
Great Intro and Welcome. My family visits the Banks every year, we usually stay around Avon. Wonderful area to live in.

Hey John,

Welcome to FlowerChat! I'm going to come to your shop and apply for a job when I move to Carova Beach. Give me about a year. I am so envious of you...you're living in paradise! Looking forward to chatting with you!
 
You have been welcomed by some of the best and some of my favorite ppl here at FC.

And I welcome you!

Joe

P.S. I have been driving flower delivery vehicles since I was 14. I especiallly like that part of your intro. I too have had to "arrange" flowers back in my teen years. Luckily, not very often.
 
Welcome to flower chat...by your intro I am sure you have a lot to say..I suggest you start typing asap...
