Corey & Alan



WOW!  Long time no blog.  Things have been busy busy as we roll into fall.  I'll try to catch up a bit, but for starters let me give you sneak peak at one of our favorite customers, Alan.  He resides in Goffstown but heads to Maine to teach during the week and returns each weekend to say hi and eat his bagel, toasted with butter and cup of coffee.  He has been a customer of ours for quite a while now, and while his quick smile is one of our favorite things about Alan, he is also more brilliant than the average bear.  Allow me to share an example: upon giving him a peculiar amount of change back--you know, like when the change sometimes rounds itself to a perfect number, like 5.55 or 2.22--I rhetorically commented "what are the odds of that happening?!"  Alan proceeded to tell me exactly what those odds were.  
There are some things people just shouldn't know... : )  
We love seeing your smiling face, Alan, thank you for supporting us....





We took part in the Art of Caring again this year.  The CareGivers Inc. is a great organization that helps the elderly maintain dignity and independence in their platinum years. 
We showcased a beautiful sidetable in our shop and donated a flower arrangement for their online and live auction.  www.caregiversnh.org





We were so excited to have the shoppe featured in our statewide paper, the Union Leader!  Along with highlighting several other women in business, the article touched on apotheca's young history and recent expansion into the depot.  

  


November is going to be an exciting month for us!  We have a few fabulous weddings in store and we will be designing set florals for an event for the Moore Center at C.R. Sparks featuring Broadways Tshidi Manye and Horace Rogers.  The Moore Center is a fantastic organization that assists families and individuals with developmental disabilities and acquired brain injuries.  
We will be having an artist reception for our soon to be revealed artist on November 14 (which also happens to be my sweet little bro Benji's birthday).  Not to mention Thanksgiving!!!  "Moore" soon! (yeah, that was pretty cheesy--oh well : ))  www.moorecenter.org



Gorgeous orange ranunculus ( I am so glad they are back in season, July, August, and Sept. can be so lonely without the little buggers) and scented freesia (favorite of Jill, another regular customer whom we adore).





Anemone are also coming back--on the lower left you can see my fav.--white with black eye.--next to KILlEr bi-color mini-gerbera daisies.  I love flowers : )

Beautiful arrangements, as usual! And thanks for contributing to the CareGivers, I drive for them about once a month and it's a great organization. - Tammy
