History

At Poseyland we pride ourselves in our long-standing McMinnville roots. We have been a part of the Mac community for over 60 years! Last week I stepped out the back door and saw this sweet little spring arrangement set against the background of an old Poseyland sign. Call me crazy but I could help but snap a pic of this scene. I love the contrast of the the new against the old, the fresh on the faded. What a great reminder of where we have come from and a vision into where we are going. What a fun journey!

5 Days!

Oh Peter...just 5 days till Easter!

I love children's books, I collect them and one of my favorites is Peter Rabbit. I was so excited when I saw this sweet little arrangement in the shop this morning. What a neat idea and guess what?!? It's a special! Just $30.00 for the sweet collectible tea cup filled with fresh flowers. What a great way to say Happy Spring! This deal will last until the tea cups are sold...so don't miss out!Come in to the shop or give us a call today!

6 Days!

Just 6 days until Easter!

Time to get your home ready for all the celebration! We have great Easter gift wear for your home. Or, if you are celebrating at a family or friend's home they make wonderful hostess gifts! My favorite is our Speckled Egg Wreath. It a circle of twiggy Easter egg goodness! Offered in a few different color schemes the wreath goes great on a front door, wall, mirror or use one as part of your Easter dinner centerpiece! Paired with a couple or our ceramic bunnies with a crackle finish, your table will have a great "organic" look. Perfect for this time of year when we want the beautiful weather outside to spill into our homes!

We've also got great Easter themed cookie jars, perfect for a hostess gift..let us fill it with fresh flowers for you! And don't forget our selection of Easter items for your garden. Easter is a great time to show off your garden, come in a get a little something fun to add to your landscape!

But don't worry...We've got Classy Wrap!

Looking for something different then the typical Easter basket? Here's a great fun alternative! The Classy Wrap machine makes it possible to put all kinds of goodies in a balloon! How neat is that!?! And what a great way to avoid adding to that stack of old Easter baskets collecting in your garage! These balloons are great not only for Easter, but also for a new baby, birthday or just because! If you have questions about how it works or want to make a balloon of your own stop by the shop or call us at 503.472.2135.

The Countdown...

Just 9 days until Easter. Yes, 9!

In my mind Easter means full on spring and we have just been getting glimpses of spring here in McMinnville. But, amid the rain Poseyland is ready for Easter!

When I was little I always begged my mom for one of those pre-made Easter baskets at the grocery store. I never got one. Year after year, my mom made us the most amazing baskets filled will exactly what we loved. And now looking back the novelty of those "grocery store baskets" has worn off. What a great gift Mom gave us, not just candy and gifts but more importantly the attention that she knew what we liked, she knew us and wanted to give us something that was personal.

So this year let's all make a deal to boycott those "grocery store Easter baskets". At Poseyland we have stocked up on some of the sweetest Easter goodies and we would love to make a personalized basket for someone you love! Come in and check out our AMAZING Chocolate from The Candy Basket in Portland. We have great chocolate covered Oreo, solid chocolate bunnies, chocolate coconut birds nests and much more! We also have a great selection of Easter plush, bunnies, duckies and great Easter themed gifts for everyone! Let us help you get creative and give a basket that they'll love!

P.S. Remember Easter baskets are for adults too! We'd love to create a beautiful basket arrangement with some chocolate for your special someone or for your Easter dinner table!

Trends. Here's What's Hot!

Something blue...

I'm loving the wedding trend that "everything old is new again", especially when it comes to aqua Mason jars.  They are everywhere I look, used for treats, favors, candles and FLOWERS! Check out these great shots of simply beautiful ideas for your wedding or special event. I'm loving the organic feel it gives the arrangements!

Speaking of Mason jars, we had a super sweet high school girl come into the shop this week with one.  She was asking a friend to prom and had a really creative idea.  They are both artists so she dipped paintbrushes in various colors of paint, let them dry and had us arrange them in the jar with some greenery.  It was great, a paintbrush bouquet!  Which reminds me, prom time is quickly approaching...what a fun time of year!  

Prom flowers, corsages, boutonnières, yeah we do that!  Come see us!  

Happy Birthday March...we didn't forget you!

Here's where we tell all you March birthdays out there happy, happy day! Most people know that you have a birthstone but did you know that you have a birth flower too? So, if your birthday is this month your flower is..da, da, da...THE DAFFODIL! Oh how I love this one, and they seem to be blooming all over McMinnville these days! It's one of the first announcements of spring, full of color and such a sweet scent, I love how they seem to multiply yellow wherever they grow. Hope your birthday is a bright as these little blooms!
