Valentines Day has to be one of my favorite days of the year. I have "loved" this day since I was a little girl working in my moms flower shop. I would skip school, with permission, to work in her florist. I loved the excitement and business of the day. My favorite is seeing all the young men and old men alike come in and buy flowers for their sweetheart, mothers,
I loved watching some men get creative and request orchids, lilies, and mixed bouquets instead of a dozen roses.

I am a HOPELESS romantic and I dreamed of my prince charming as I worked the day away.
Beware! If you were one of my close friends, my mom would recruit you to work on that day.

This week I am going to devote my blog to Valentines Day memories of working in the Flower Shop. Some are quite hilarious and others are sweet. Be sure to
