update.

Phew! The holiday season is upon us, oh my. Between the mad rush at the shop and hand making all my gifts this year, I’ve let the blog writing slip a little and for that, I apologize. I am hoping to have many lovely, festive photos up for you soon. We have the most incredible product in right now; tons of different evergreens, branches, four different kinds of eucalyptus (!), some gorgeous pepperberry, and peppermint amaryllis.

I’ve made so many wreaths, garlands, and centerpieces, I’m beginning to think my hands will be permanently cedar-scented.

(I took this one home with me).

it’s that time again.

Red, white, pink, small, medium, gargantuan – we’ve got ‘em all.

Recently, I’ve been working on a little side project. We thought it’d be a fun idea to give classes at the shop – on everything from spiral bouquets to herb gardens. So, after a few hectic weeks spent obsessing over the details, I am super excited to present: Little Garden Studio at Celsia Florist. The Winter class schedule is up on the new website and we’re already gearing up for the first one – wreath making! We’ll be using antique hydrangea, seeded eucalyptus, and various seasonal fruits, berries, foliage, and other goodies to make beautiful, one of a kind holiday wreaths.

The class will take place at Celsia Florist on Sunday, December 5th from 6 – 8pm. Cost is $150. More info available at Little Garden Studio.

back attack.

Aaand I’m back. I apologize for the hiatus; things have been a little crazy around the shop lately. Here’s a little montage of the last couple of weeks…

Lo’s bday!

Magnoliaaaaa!

Lovely bags by the even lovelier Sam of Post Grad Haircut. We sell them!

There. Now you’re all caught up.

absolutely nothing to do with flowers.

Today, I was really excited to post photos of the shop. Lo and I spent the whole of our holiday Monday (Canadian Thanksgiving!) rearranging furniture, and the end result is fabulous. We moved our work stations, completely redid the cash area, and even redesigned our main window display for October. Basically, we’re amazing. NBD.

So yes, I was all set to share pictures of this awesome redesign, but I got home and realized I’d forgotten the cord with which to transfer said photos onto my laptop (whose name is Isis, just fyi). Therefore, instead of pretty shop pictures, you get this:

It came from here. I know you’ll all thank me for this later.

love, love, love.

The “Flowers This Week” page is finally updated! Go take a gander at all the lovely things in the shop this week.

around the shop.

Since I still don’t have any pictures of actual flowers to share with you, I thought I’d introduce you to the shop. A couple of years ago, we moved in to a gorgeous brick & mortar building on the corner of Arbutus St. and West 4th avenue (just around the corner from the famous Sophie’s Cosmic Cafe). The space was packed full of charm all on its own, but we like to think we’ve added our own little dashes of warmth and whimsy to it.

Of course, we also have flowers. I’ll prove it soon, pinky swear.

hello autumn.

The official blog over at wordpress.org is going to be under construction for awhile, because our lovely owners, Eddy and Joh, just had a baby! While they’re busy with little Ella, I’ll be here tapping away at my keyboard, filling you in on the goings on at Celsia.

I’m still working on getting photos up on the blog, so in the meantime, here are a few things we love about autumn…
