Stop looking for Thanksgiving decorations! Use dried flowers

Published over 1 year ago • 1 min read

Hello Reader,

Stop looking for Thanksgiving decorations!

IF you want decorations that will wow your guests and prompt conversations then you need a dried flower arrangement.

Eating together is a great way to build connections and to see each person as a gift.


Creating a beautiful and welcoming atmosphere will help encourage those family connections.

You can use the information I sent in the last two emails to start conversations around flowers and the history of dried flowers.

History of dried flowers

Which flowers dry the best

To get your dried flower decor you need to do these 3 things:

1. Place an order

Go to willow haven flowers and select your preferred dried flower decor

Wreaths

For your pumpkin centerpieces select between small, medium, or large. Small $20, medium $35, and large are $50.

2. Schedule pick up

Once you have placed an order I will send you a phone number you can call to let us know when you want to come. Pick up is anytime during the day on Monday through Saturday.

Make a nice drive out to the farm to get your dried flowers.

3. Decorate your home for the holidays!

Add your pumpkin centerpiece to your table or set it by your door. Add fresh greenery and your best china. Get ready for a meaningful holiday with great conversations!

Your flower farmer,

P.S. Dried flowers make great Christmas gifts as well!

Narcissus looking at his reflection in a pool

Dear Reader, Last week I told you that the flower for the month of March was a Daffodil. If you didn’t see that email you can read it again here. But I want to give you some of the background of Daffodils and where there name comes from in this weeks email. Daffodils are part of the Narcissus family which is a species of Amaryllis. Flowers are commonly white or yellow but some of them could be orange or even pink! But don’t eat them because they contain alkaloids which are toxic! But it has...

Flower Highlight- March The Daffodil! The Daffodil is for you if you are a cheerful person and you may be delighted by bright colors, baby chicks, and walking through long grass. If you’ve ever wanted to paint a room in your house yellow you may be a daffodil girl. Dear Reader, This week I’ve finally gotten a chance to breathe and so now I’m going to try to get back to writing weekly newsletters.
