Grab and Go!
We have a lot of customers that run in and out of the shop in such a hurry... They often have kids and hubby in the car, waiting out the front.
I love that they know they can race in and grab "something". Be it flowers which we make up into posies already in little vases, or as one customer said to me this morning "easy peasy" gifts.
Just like these muslin wrapped soaps on ceramic dishes that we've wrapped in cello.

Instore displays...
I absolutely adore the "buying" part of owning Dragonfly.
It is part of my job to decide on all the gifts and homewares we stock here at both our stores.
Often these goodies are ordered several months in advance. So when they arrive its wonderfully good fun to redesign our display areas in the shop.
I'm really into displays using colour blocking at the moment, as you can see in this image I took yesterday of some current stock we have.

Bonny blue hyacinths
Wedding number two this week was all about masses of blue hyacinth...
The fragrance was extraordinary!
The tables were all clothed in a matching blue.
VERY beautiful!!

Beautiful Babies Breath...
In the world of floristry, as with everything else, things go in and out of fashion...
In recent years gypsophilia, or babies breath, as its more commonly known, has definately been in the "unpopular" catagory.
We did the most beautiful wedding yesterday at Gunners Barracks, Mosman.
I used all babies breath in enormous domed bunches, in large fishbowl vases.
T
he effect was amazing!!

SALE TIME!
We have two sales a year here at Dragonfly, January and June.
I save up all those end of line bits and pieces throughout the year,stow them in the garage, and then we pile everything onto the table in the centre of the shop.
It's so much fun to watch as our customers forage through everything to find "treasures"...
There's not anybody who doesn't love a 40% off bargain!!!!
Come on in and have a fossick around, sale finishes end of next week.

Cover of Real Living magazine
I still get such a buzz to see our name in print!
For the last few months we have been asked to do flowers for some feature articles in Real Living magazine.
We've also had our flowers used on the last two covers.
Yippee!
