Petals of Hope by Patty

Change in location for the Holiday Design class today, Sunday the 15th at 4:00 pm
as long as the icy roads are safe for me to make it back to La Porte from out of town.
I’m pretty sure they will be.

Also you will have the option to put the flowers and greenery in a beautiful cherry wood box that would look gorgeous on a Christmas dining room table!

I will have room for a couple more people if you’d like to join us but let me know as soon as possible as my space is limited.

One more thing, I will have extra materials if you’d like me to arrange the flowers myself sometime before Christmas.
I’ll be making a variety of sizes and styles.

Check out these onesies and children’s T-shirts a friend made for Christmas gifts!

Here are some of the fun vessels that I’m anxious to put arrangements in!

I’m picking up fresh bouquets in the morning and will start posting pictures and prices as I get them done.
I will be happy to take special orders too.

I APOLOGIZE FOR ANY INCONVENIENCE, BUT I WILL CLOSED this FRIDAY afternoon.
I will, however, be OPEN at the shop Sunday afternoon between 2:30 and 3:30 getting ready for the
Holiday Wine and Dine at The Old Stone Bistro at 4:00 pm.
We still have openings if you’d like to join us for the fun! That post is pinned.

In case you’re interested the vase pictured is $20 and the tin cup is $10.

I’m so thankful for everyone who came into Petals of Hope for my Open House on Saturday. I appreciate your support! 🥰

I sold quite a few things with live greenery but have a few things left that I don’t want to go to waste. Text, call or message me if you’re interested in something shown or would like me to make something special with live greens and/or fresh flowers.

See picture of a few things I have left.
I can also make something or take a wreath to the cemetery if you’d like.

I’ll be getting some beautiful fresh bouquets this week that should last ‘til after Christmas.
We will be using them in the vases we make this coming Sunday at the Bistro.
I believe we have some openings if you’re interested.

Just a heads up, I’ll be closed this Friday the 13th.

I believe in Santa Claus, but I can’t believe it’s been a year since I had my first open house at Petals of Hope. 🎅

Stop in for a cookie, cider and check out some options for Christmas gifts.
Oh and don’t forget to enter a drawing for a $25 gift certificate.
Christmas gifts are 10% off and the awesome Advent and Christmas devotional will be $10 while supplies last on Saturday!

You can also let me know if you want to be on a list to find out what flower classes are being offered at my shop or at The Old Stone Bistro. 🌹

People have been asking. We had so much fun last month.

We will arrange Christmas flowers in Frosted Pint size mason jars. I will have 3 different bouquets to choose from and Melanie will have yummy goodies!

I will also have a couple similar small group classes at the flower shop squeezed in before Christmas if you can't make it on the 15th.

Thanksgiving’s over and Christmas is coming fast!!
Need some cards?

The pictures don’t do these pictures justice. They are SO nice. Stop in or message me and I’ll hold back any you’d like.

I guess I’m a teacher at heart, I love to be visit with other people and enjoy yummy snacks. 👩‍🏫 🥰

I felt right “at home” in The Old Stone Bistro the other night helping other women making their own floral arrangements.

I so appreciate Melanie sharing her space preparing yummy snacks, and having drinks available. 😋 🍷

There was so much laughter as these women visited, had refreshments and arranged their flowers.

I’m looking forward to another class at the Bostro in December
but will also squeeze in some holiday cheer with smaller gatherings at my shop.

Need a hostess gift?
Here are a few ideas.

Text me with questions or to have me hold something. 319-215-9897.
I don’t always hear or see fb messages.

I’ll be at the shop Friday morning decorating for Christmas from at least 8-10 am if you’d like to stop in.

11/24/2024

My first class at The Old Stone Bistro is tomorrow and planning a Christmas flower arrangement in December. 🌲

There’s still a few openings for the pumpkin arrangement class tomorrow.
Sign up as soon as possible so I can have a pumpkin ready for you. 🎃

I will also be making some extras for those who don’t want to make their own.
Let me know if you would like to reserve one.

Be watching for an Open House invite for Petals of Hope December 7th and a flyer with all the la Porte city weekend events. I feel like it’s a Hallmark movie weekend in our small town. 🥰


11/13/2024

OPENING at 3:30 TODAY instead of 1:00 pm.
Sorry for any inconvenience!

You may still text or message me if you have something you need soon. I'll be in town subbing.

Will be working on fresh arrangements in pumpkins later today if you'd like one!

11/01/2024

I have 4 extra wreaths if anyone would like one for the cemetery of for personal use.
Let me know if you're interested.

I’m looking forward to participating in Petal It Forward this year. 🥰

I’ll be passing out 2 roses to random people around La Porte City Wednesday and maybe into Thursday too.
I have 125 roses to hand out! 🌹

I may have a few really special helpers so be on the lookout!❤️

ABOUT PETAL IT FORWARD
For the last nine years, thousands of floral industry members in all 50 states have organized their teams on one day in October to take part in Petal It Forward, this goodwill initiative where participants hand two flowers or bouquets to an unsuspecting stranger, urging them to keep one and share the other with someone else.

It’s a powerful way to illustrate the positive health benefits of giving and receiving flowers.

This quote really hits home, especially this last year since opening the shop.

So many “firsts” that I’ve had to figure out and conquer. 💪

I’m still learning new skills everyday but I’ve also learned I need to ask for help at times and thank God for the internet! 😀

09/27/2024

Is this fun or what?! 😎

This is what happens when you finally ask for help, from a 20 year old. 😃

Thanks for teaching me something new Trisha! 🥰

I’ll be working on some smaller fall arrangements tomorrow afternoon if you want to stop in. 🍁 💐

09/20/2024

I have a bucket of fresh, bright colored Zinnias, Celosia and a few Cockscomb.

I’ll be in the shop ‘til 5:00 tonight and will be around in the morning if you want a mason jar of flowers.

I’ll be shopping at the Junkin’ and grabbing a hot cup of coffee and cinnamon roll from the Bistro.
