    As we near our two-year anniversary (already?!), I am reminded of a few things. First, I love our customers & am so grateful for each one. Same for the amazing artists whose work enlivens the site with creativity & authenticity. Next, the site needs a little TLC, and I want to tackle that this summer. Lastly, I am reminded that I really enjoy supporting other small businesses. There are so many incredible ladies out there who stand behind products & services they believe in. I connect with them as often as I can. One way I like to work other small businesses into Orange & Blos...

    I basically have a love/hate relationship with escort cards. Yes, I think they’re necessary, and yes I usually like arranging them on tables. But after seeing paper escort cards over and over again with no unique displaying method, my hatred of them began. And with that hatred, my new love for “escort items” was discovered.   “Escort Items” are basically things that act as escort cards- usually the favors or a piece of table decor.

    Starting out this week with a gloomy Monday (and late post). The time really just flies when I'm in here! I can't believe it's already 4!! I must say, this past week, I've been blessed with repeat customers! That's a true compliment for me. I also have a lot of opportunities to refer wedding vendors to customers that walk in. From the beginning, this was my ultimate goal. So glad that it's working!  I was thinking about what items I'd like to put on sale this week and the first thing my eyes went to were the yummy soy candles. So this week, come in and get your can...
