We have so much fun each week visiting with our customers! The kids are just so cute and their little expressions are priceless when they see the flowers!! I mean...look at this adorable face!
Everyone is just so happy when they come to the market!
We are all in a happy place! No matter how tired I am when I get up on Saturday morning, our day brightens up immediately when we see our first customers!
Their enthusiasm is contagious! We love that they enjoy our flowers and fellowship!
And...here are our little helpers!
No, they don't belong to us, but we get to borrow them on Saturdays!! They belong to the other vendors, but they like to hang out with "the flower ladies." And...they love Charlie! And, he loves them! He goes home exhausted each week from all of the playtime!
Silly kiddos!!
It was a glorious week! The flowers were blooming so bright!
Oh...did you get a chance to try Clean Laundry this week?
New, this week, will be Lime and Ginger! Oh, it's so pretty!! And, don't forget that we now have sample/travel bars for sale!
And, the flowers are all ready for you this week! See??
And, there will be more doggie treats for your furry companion/fur-child...
Speaking of treats....Guess what???
Last week thanks to your support, we raised $18.60 for the Colonial Heights & Petersburg SPCA! So, the grand total for two weeks of collecting is $32.60. The check is in the mail!! Many thanks for your generosity!
So, for the next two weeks the animal charity will be Fetch A Cure. Come by and grab a bagel for your furry friend and consider leaving a donation for this great cause!
We are passionate about animals and feel that it is our responsibility to look after God's creatures. Groups like Fetch are out doing great things, and I think we should try to support them. So, what do you say? Charlie thinks it's a grand idea!
From Fetch a Cure's website:
Furthering Education and Treatment for Companion Health
FETCH a Cure is a 501 ©(3) non-profit organization determined to improve quality of life by connecting people and pets through accessible, compassionate treatment and education.
Our vision is simple: A community where no one is denied a choice for their pet due to lack of options, education or funding.
Helping People. Helping Pets.
Through community outreach by way of events, campaigns and fundraisers, FETCH is working to promote the need to help pets live long, healthy lives. FETCH continually works to raise awareness and further education about pet cancer prevention, detection and treatment and senior care and aging issues.
We provide financial aid to families unable to bear the cost of the life-saving treatments for their pets that have been diagnosed with cancer through the Companions in Crisis program. FETCH continues to work towards providing more accessible treatment options for all within our community.
Through the Pixie’s Pen Pals program, FETCH is helping rescue dogs and inmates in Virginia correctional centers have a second chance. By working cooperatively and bonding with the animals, the inmates learn responsibility, patience, tolerance and life-long skills and the trained dogs find life-long homes.
And, many thanks for your continued support of our flower and soap business! Without you we wouldn't be here!

Hi Rach,
Love your post and I hope that people are donating when they take a "Charlie Treat" Did you know cinnamon is bad for dogs? Cooper used to have seizures and we figured out that it was bc he was getting little bits of our cinnamon toast.
Thanks! Yes, people are very generous! Thanks for the tip on the cinnamon. I do research extensively my ingredients and several websites including the ASPCA say it is safe. I always share the ingredients because some dogs have intolerances to different things. Our Lexi was allergic to everything including poultry, wheat, shellfish, etc. so I am very cautious about what I include.
