Flowers by Mary (for it was Mary, Mary long before the fashions changed)

Flowers by Mary in Orleans at 14 Cove Rd. is a magical place. The first time I met Mary she had recently moved into her cottagey Cove Rd. Flower Shop. We hit it off immediately having a sympatico vision of what it is to be of service to couples in the wedding buisness. After this first meeting I kept encountering beautiful arrangments and bouquets at weddings where I was presiding and sure enough " for it was Mary, Mary" ( like the song) who was the couple's florist.  I began recommending her and everyone has always been happy with their flowers. They have also  found their encounter with Mary as pleasing as I do each time I stop in to see her and her beautiful new assistant, Eridania. Sounds corny but there is a good vib- magical ambiance to her shop and her work stemming from Mary herself. (I wanted to give her a good yelp review but every time I visit her she hands me a gorgeous bunch of blooms so I'm not sure if that is considered a freebie!) ( The roses in the picture were from my first visit with Mary.)

So my point is if you haven't checked off flowers on your to do list click here Flowers by Mary click on here and see what I mean. When I was in there today they were getting flowers ready for prom nights all over the lower cape. Despite being straight out busy, the smiles and warmth made this dull damp day seem colorful and sweetly alive. And, of course, I came away with a bouquet of lavender roses.

Thanks Mary and Edi.
