Valentine's Day 2009


Valentine's Day already?? No not really, but as a florist we have to start preparing today! And now that Abbott Florist is the only floral shop in all of Washington Twp, NJ which includes Sewell and Turnersville we are certain to have a busy February.

We have also created a new way to get to our website, there seems to be some confusion with our customers and a not so local floral shop in Illinois that shares a similar name with ours. So to make sure you get to our website, visit http://www.wtpflorist.com/.

One of our weekend tasks was to photograph our Valentine inventory of plush stuffed animals. The store is full a wide variety of stuffed animals. Check out the slideshow at the upper right of the screen to see the plush animals we have the most of. It was quite a task trying to photograph these little buggers. They moved around more than a 2 year old! We eventually got the job done though. We definately have lots to choose from with some making noises, some singing songs (even a "I'm Too Sexy" gorilla) and some "wild" monkeys. We will have some up on our shop website soon, so if you are getting ready to order some roses for that special someone this Valentine's Day don't forget to add on an adorable bear.
Off to plan some more!

The Holidays are Finally Over...or are they??

So in a flash, or so it seemed, the Christmas season and New Years has come and gone. Now it is time to relax and enjoy ourselves. Not so fast!!

With February rapidly approaching, so too is the biggest holiday of the year for your local florist. Valentine's day is the single busiest day of the year for us, and with one of our other local florists-Bravo Florist in Sewell having a fire in their building and another local shop Candlelight Florist in Sewell closing its doors, we are going to be quite the busy beavers. Our preparations for the holiday have already begun. We are getting together all of our stuffed animals-which we will have a slide show of here soon- and taking pictures and trying to get more items for our customers to choose from up on the website. We are even considering some bonuses for those who use Abbott Florist this Valentine's Day. Details to follow soon.

It's definitely going to be a busy next month for us.


Every blog should have a picture. Found this one on the web, gave me chuckle!
