Whitechureh woman opens
biI1oongreet'ng business
By Alan Rivett
If your in the market for a gift that's just BUSINESS
a little out of the ordinary - Crystal Elliott
has just the perfect idea.
Since last December, Mrs. Elliott of the
Whitechurch area has taken up making
balloon greetings both as a hobby and as a
business. The helium -filled colored
balloons are made into a pleasing arrange-
ment which she finds is a_` "good alter-
native to flowers or gifts."
She discovered the idea for balloon
greetings after her son received a balloon
greeting while recuperating in hospital. He
liked the -gift so much, it prompted Mrs.
Elliott to try making them herself and
discovered a natural flair for the art.
Mrs. Elliott says there are many dif-
ferent designs a balloon greeting can tak-
ing, including different types and sizes of
baskets which are fastened to the colorful
balloons. Also available are different
basket "fillers" such as toy bears or can-
dy.
The balloon greetings are appropriate
for all occasions, such as get -well, births,
anniversairies, showers, and all holidays,
she said.
So far, Mrs. Elliott says she has had
"good response" from the balloon
greetings which have met with approval
from all all ages. She has also been called
on to decorate for wedding receptions,
both decorating the hall and creating cen-
trepieces with balloons.
For Balloon greetings, contact Crystal
Elliott at her residence southwest of
Whitechurch on 'County Road 22 or phone
357-1532. The business hours are Wednes-
day to Saturday, 9 a.m. to 12 noon and
afternoons "by chance".
