Our 1st In-store Design Class was a success!

The design room was buzzing on Halloween when we hosted our first in-store instructional design class. Participants had the opportunity to design a Halloween themed arrangement from start to finish, using materials like gerbera daisies and jumbo spiders! Everyone had fun especially when it came to adding the spider webbing. Afterward they enjoyed some candy and took their arrangement home to enjoy.

Thank you ARC for opportunity to be involved in this year's Gala...

Why real men do buy women flowers...

CNN.com posted an article stating Why real men DO buy women flowers.

Men should buy women flowers. They are colorful. They smell nice. And without them, flora would never get laid. To many, purchasing flowers is cliché or corny or tacky. And to others, it's an outdated ritual in our modern era of gender equality.
I'd like to address the men reading this (all five of you): buy the broads flowers. Trust me. And now to all the women reading, who outnumber us dudes 100 to 1: allow the dorks in your life to buy you flowers. Trust me.
