Special Derivery

I got totally snaparazzi'd while peddling my wheels of steel on saturday. I was off on a flower delivery to gift my all time favourite neighbours - marcie, gina & lily... It was a 
"Im moving house today and i love you guys very much" arrangement..Turns out, they werent even home... bah humbug! So i just stuck the'flowers in their front gate and crossed my fingers that some hansome harry or lonesome larry wouldn't steal them. 



� should have been packing boxes instead of doing wheelies on my bike, but you know me... I like to do 50 things at once. Later on I ate a hamburger while vacuuming and devising a pyramid scheme. multi tasking at its finest.

FAFA - it begins

I am sure that you guys are all upto speed on the ins and outs of flowerdruming by now.
Incase you are not, ill just remind you of a little corporation I am the chairlady of.
FAFA- Flora And Fauna Anonymous or sometimes its FAFA - Flora And Fauna Addicts
Well, I have to say, this is the most intense case of rose loving that I've ever seen.
Her name: Lady Rose Garland. This is her undercover name, to protect her privacy.
CRIME SCENE INVESTIGATION EVIDENCE 
 
 
                                        
Roses, everywhere. I mean everywhere. I am worried.
 Tell tale signs that you or someone you know may need to call FAFA.
Constant secret flower sniffing
Prickled fingers
Linen cupboards filled with flower printed bedsheets and table cloths
Unexplanable withdrawals of cash moneys at early hours of the morning from ATMS on parramatta rd
Legal name changing, ie - jasmine, rose, petunia, tubarosa, daisy... holly

Eloping Ears

This here rose reminds me of when I was a kid. Not because one sniff of the flower time travels me back to the age of three where I was carelessly running through a field of roses. No. Simply because when i was a kid, my ears stuck out like 2 stray petals on a rose. 
My ears, they didn't subtly poke out from behind my hair, these things could pick up satellite tv.

Mum and dad decided it was best to get my wingnuts pinned back before we moved to hong kong, they must have known game boys were about to be all the rage, and no one would want to be friends with me because satellite tv wasn't cool no more.

Shipwrecked

We've been on the look out for a boat lately. I keep saying... we need to make friends with someone who has a boat. Stuff it! Lets just buy our own!
How do we look? Does this boat suit us, or do we need to go a little more up market?

PS. HAPPY VALENTINES DAY!

Rosie Rose and her flowerdrum pose-y

Well, I had the pleasure of meeting and gifting rosie rose with her jackpot handful of posey roses. After about an hour of non stop chatting, some how she told me that she found a rat in her draw, and it had such good manners that she decided it must have been someones pet. So as you do, she put up flyers all about town so that missing rattus could be returned to his home, whilst sticky taping the poster she saw good ol "one eye"the neighbourhood cat. She yelled out, "hey one eye, you hungry?" MEOW. (That means yes) 
She took one eye home, popped him infront of rattus, and they just stared at each other. She basically had to tell one eye that rattus was lunch. With a quick swipe one eye whisked rattus out the door. I'm assuming one eye knew where rattus lived?
Now before you think, wow, that was weird. We talked about extra normal stuff too. Liiiiiiiiiiiiiiiike
*Her one day a week job is at the amazing Bromley Arcade - Increase your situational awareness HERE
*How theres no bizness like show business - shes a cabaret performer
* The fact that I need to go to India

She also left me incharge of the gallery for about 10 minutes while she whipped off to get us some coffees. At one stage I thought she'd done a runner and I freaking out because I didnt know where the eftpos machine was. 

The flowerdrums new BFF with her jackpot

Grower of the month

This guy is our favourite right now.
Possibly because he gives us free flowers on the odd occasion. 
He is chatty, but not too chatty, and friendly, very friendly. But not too friendly


BTW we have our own facebook. So go and like us. 
I know want to love us, but like is sufficient for now.
