THE CITIZEN, WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 23, 1995. PAGE 3.
`Country Flowers' fulfills longtime dream
By Janice Becker
Years of dreaming and planning
have finally come true for one
Blyth woman who will soon be
opening a shop in the village.
ber.
Country Flowers will occupy the
shop on Blyth's main street which
for many years was home to
Wilson's Health and Gift Centre.
After customizing the building to
their needs, the flower and gift
shop will offer its customers a Vic-
torian and country folk art line of
gifts, Christmas gift ideas, silk,
dried, fresh and parchment flower
arrangements, helium balloon cre-
ations and a wire service for fresh
flower orders as well as maintain-
ing the Sears order office.
"Our emphasis will be on cus-
tomer service and a quality prod-
uct," says Luann. "We have kept
the Sears service in the same loca-
tion, with the same phone number
for the convenience of the cus-
tomer."
- As well as her 10 years of work
with the Wingham and District
Community Living Association,
where she worked in the "Belles
and Beaus" store, Luann has
worked with silk flowers for a cou-
ple of years and has taken courses
for fresh flower arranging.
A part-time florist will also be
hired.
The gift line featured at Luann's
Country Flowers will include rus-
tic, hand-crafted wooden products,
quaint bird houses, decorative
wreaths and classic centrepieces.
"I will be attending gifts shows to
bring a unique line," says Luann. "I
am interested to see what the com-
munity wants and will try to
acquire requested items."
Luann says she felt very good
about starting her business at this
time. "The pieces just seemed to
fall into place. Jim and Thelma
(Wilson) have been very good
about letting me work through the
transition. My family and friends
have been very supportive and we
are all quite excited. Even the chil-
dren want to be involved."
Ken will be a jack-of-all-trades,
making deliveries and handing out
moral support when he is not work-
ing in Goderich, she says. The chil-
dren have volunteered to shovel
snow.
Getting the store ready for the
opening will be keeping the family
very busy over the next few weeks,
but Luann says the Sears outlet will
remain open during that period.
Luann's Country Flowers will be
open from Tuesday to Saturday
from 9 a.m. until 5 p.m. as well as
being available for short-notice,
special orders.
