Don't Forget the Flowers on Thanksgiving!


Thanksgiving is for...well it is for giving thanks! So if you are lucky enough not to have to cook for 10 or 20 people this Thanksgiving, show your appreciation by bringing a beautiful autumn arrangement or centerpiece for the host. We suggest the Lenox Sauce Server Bouquet. You get all of the gorgeous fall colors and a bonus lenox piece that can be used for holidays to come.

A lavish autumn bouquet in a leaf-shaped sauce boat inspired by a world-famous Lenox design. A charming combination of traditional and contemporary, this lovely centerpiece is the perfect dressing for the Thanksgiving turkey.

The gorgeous arrangement includes maroon miniature carnations, beige roses, coral alstroemeria, lavender chrysanthemums and dried oak leaves.

Delivered in a stunning ceramic, Lenox-style sauce boat molded in the shape of a leaf. Includes two burgundy candles. Bouquet is approximately 13.5" W x 16" H

Have You Heard The Holiday Music...

It has only been 1 week since Halloween wrapped up. Only took a day to take down all of the decorations and I thought maybe I should just take the holiday decorations out and go to town and I thought no...its way too early. Well not in retail America. It is never to early to put out those holiday decorations and even the holiday music. I am hearing it everywhere!!

Lots to come on the website, so check back often at http://www.abbottflorist.com/ In the meantime, take a look at this classic cornucopia arrangement.
