HAPPY VALENTINE’S DAY!

You guys! Thank you for another amazing Valentine’s Day! Thank you for all your orders, we hope you’re having a glorious day so far 🩷. The Strettons, and surrounding South Shropshire areas (and Shrewsbury to be fair ☺️), we cannot thank you enough for and supporting our little ‘ol shop 🙏🏻. We appreciate and value every order small or large, especially in this climate.

So it goes without saying, apart from thanking all you lovely customers, I really want to thank the most amazing women who I could not adore more! Jeany, Catherine, Natters and Sue, we couldn’t do it without your dedication, organisation, skills and most importantly laughs. And Lordy knows we’ve had some giggles this week, especially when we get past the point of keeping our eyes awake and brains functioning 🤣. ###

Coming up next month….

👀Our next big even is Sunday 10th March
so keep your eyes peeled for inspiration

Nothing gives us a bigger smile than a customer looking at all the bouquets we made for other customers that day and saying “I want one just like that”. So here’s one for Valentine’s we made precisely after another customer spied our preorders this afternoon.

So! Today marks the 10th anniversary of the passing of my beautiful stepdad John. For anyone who didn’t have the opportunity to meet this glorious man, he started our family run business 39 years ago.
He was known for his amazing sense of humour and wit, his love of flowers and good bit of gossip 😂 and most importantly his kindness and love. Although their time was short together compared to a lot of marriages, I can say hand on heart he made my mum Catherine the happiest she’s ever been and we miss him dearly. I couldn’t have asked for a better stepdad.

If you’ve any photos or happy memories please feel free to share them. Share this post to any Round Table members from back in the day Rushbury and Cardington YFC Dorrington Young Farmers

Next time you pop in to see us at the shop you’ll see we’ve updated the shop and had a refresh, as the shop is 40(!) years old next year. Gorgeous flowers, plants and pet supplies. John, we hope we’ve made you proud ❤️. Can’t wait to see you all!
