A FESTIVAL OF TREES
there's one place we MUST go . . .
Pires Flower Basket
Let me take you on a tour.
There will be lots of "ooooooo's" ~ "ahhhhhhh's" and "WoW's!
When harvest-time is over,
the greenhouse begins to take on a holiday flair.
They really go all out
decorating each tree and table.
I love the red cardinals on the frosty greens.
These FUN displays will put a BIG Christmas smile on your face!
Every shelf is filled with joy
There's a wreath on every door ~ and a ribbon on every bough
Around every corner, you'll see another Christmas surprise
~ a Winter Wonderland ~
If you're in central New York, stop in Pires Flower Basket in Norwich.
You'll plan for 10 minutes but then stay an hour!
and a lemon cheesecake soy candle!
A piece of Norwich pottery 
And an adorable little winter friend to sit on your desk.This lil' snowgirl came home with me.
Which one woud you choose?
~Happy Weekend Wanderings to You~

You gotta love places like this, don't you? They make me want to move in! Seems like you captured the essence well with your lovely photos!
ReplyDeleteGood choice you made Maria, I would have chosen a snowman to add to my small collection too, there seem to be many lovely ones to choose from! You've got me anxious to decorate!
ReplyDeleteooooo, ahhhh, WoW ! Yes I can understand why you'd stay an hour. I too liked the tree with the cardinals
ReplyDeletein it. Very nice. We have a place here that I like to go to. The entire half of the store has Christmas crafting items. I can't pull myself away!
Love Di
Oh Maria...this place looks so lovely. It really would get one in the Christmas Spirit. Thank you so much for sharing all the joy.

I am beginning to feel that Christmas spirit Maria! What a beautiful shop. I think you made wonderful purchases. I honestly would have picked out the little snowman too. I have a fondness for them. They are just too cute.
ReplyDeleteHave a blessed weekend.
Well - good thing I'm not close to Norwich! Lemon Cheesecake candle - sounds like dessert! Those wreaths make me think my old, faded one might have to be replaced this year. It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas in your world!
ReplyDeleteJust found your wonderful blog...FAB! FAB! FAB!
ReplyDeleteHi Maria - Funny you ask about the peel of the orange - I debated that, too - perhaps we ARE cut from the same (cooking) cloth? I grated a bit of the peel but then took it off before putting the orange and wet ingredients in the cusinart. Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family! (Are you cooking?????) Have a restful break from school.
ReplyDeleteHi Maria, what a lovely winter wonderland you have visited! Thank you for your visit on my blog, my weekend was peaceful and really nice (in the afternoon we watched the third part of Lord of the Rings on our really big new flatscreen :)
ReplyDeleteHave a nice week,hugs, Maria
Hi Once More, Maria, We will be on the road for Thanksgiving. Our grown children are on their own for the feast this year. Lucinda is somewhat miffed - we have reservations for Bob's Birthday dinner, and she noticed there is Rabbit on the menu!
ReplyDeleteOh Maria thank you for your comments. I did not find my frother but only spent a wee amount of time looking so next trip out I will continue...I know I will have one my Christmas! xoxox
ReplyDeleteoh wow mom!!! this brings a large smile to my face!!! I can't wait for Christmas, as we all know, since I set up my tree before Halloween :P looks like you had a great time!
ReplyDeleteI've never been in a place like that. It's beautiful. It must of been so much fun.
ReplyDeleteI ready your blog on Geese...That is one amazing nugget. I have ofen used that when teaching or presenting workshops etc. I love it.
It is so true...
Yes...I would be hours in a place like this! Even my local Lowes keeps me mesmerized!
ReplyDeleteI think my favorite is the cardinal tree. (But I would take any of it!!!)
Maria, what a tour that was. I just loved it and will come back again when I have a little more time to invest--son and family came in from Oklahoma today so we are having a wonderful time with them. Hope your holiday is half as special as you are . Sure wish we were next door neighbors. Love, D.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE the gingerbread tree. So cute. Looks like this is the place to go to get ideas... so many fun things to inspire me!
ReplyDeleteHello, dear Maria,
ReplyDeleteI can see why you and your sister make a special visit to this wonderful store. I love the traditional Christmas decor of bright reds and greens!
