Karen Adams Designs

I don't think there have ever been more beautiful cards...
I LOVE her designs!
She has designs for all occasions: baby, wedding, just because, birthday.
Better yet, they come in adorable little boxes in themed sets, also.
We sell several of the boxed collections as well as the gift tag size and full size cards. 

These are just a few that we carry in the gift store.

 This is my fave:

Garden Heaven

Garden Heaven

Do I have to say more? Julie and I had the best time creating bouquets to fill the cooler this morning. The green hydrangea, flox, and thistles came straight out of Julie's garden this morning and we had a fit recreating the garden theme with today's shipment of flowers. We got in beautiful green, purple, and pastel pink roses, larkspur, different colors of fragrant stock, delphinium, queen anne's lace, and more glorious things!

Hanging Book Art

Hanging Book Art
 
Erin made this awesome creation yesterday! We've seen book art everywhere lately, and thought we'd create something of our own to hang in the shop. Feeling a little guilty about tearing old books apart... but as long as we're creating something new and wonderful out of something that was just collecting dust in the basement, my conscious is clear. We have several projects underway involving books and book pages and this is the first to be deemed done.

Dream Catchers

Dream Catchers
We have been busy this summer creating unique, one of a kind things to decorate the shop! Our latest project is beautifying the shop window with these beautiful dream catchers! We're making them in all different sizes with all different kinds of materials including: wire wreath forms, moss twine, paper covered twine, wire, lace, raffia, ribbon, fabric, string, feathers, rocks, etc. We have been having so much fun and the customers have been raving about them! We have even gotten requests for special orders! 
It really is true: there is always something new and wonderful at Fitzgerald Flowers.

One & Only Bridal Boutique Open House


One & Only Bridal Boutique 
Sample Bouquet

A new bridal boutique in town was having an open house last weekend and asked us if we wanted to create a beautiful sample bouquet to display as advertising for Fitzgerald Flowers. We're always wanting to support other small local businesses in La Grande so of course we took something down to them. I had so much fun creating this beautiful purple bouquet to represent our business at their open house!




This beautiful bouquet includes calla lilies, lisianthis, hydrangea, yarrow, stock, dusty miller, and seeded eucalyptus.
