  1. Wowzas, that is some list!

    I guess if you can make it through V day with no ciggies you have totally cracked it. Respect.

    See you the other side, the latte and lipbalm combo will see you through! xxxx

  2. Will be thinking of you the next couple of days - know you will sail thru but come out exhausted on the far side. The silver lining is that the recipients will be thrilled.

    Hang in there, Girl! xoxo

  8. Oh Jane,

    Hope you will have a lovely day despite the busy time you must have in your shop!

    I read your question in my last post about the 'ten things list'. Do you mind awfully when I say no? I do like the lists very much, but it takes up a lot of time making one :-(. I already have difficulty finding time to leave comments on the blogs of my friends. I hope you will understand?!

    Veel lieve groetjes & een fijne nieuwe week!

  13. It's you who deserves the flowers, Jane, and nice ones at that. Valentine's Day is a curse - all the lovely simple bunches of spring flowers disappear from the shops, replaced with coiffed monstrosities of exotic blooms from far-flung places at seven times the price. What have we come to? It's only the eyeliner that keeps us afloat at all.

  16. Think of all happiness you're going to bring to a lot of people. :) We've hired extra drivers for our little shop...I've never seen so many red roses!!!
    I would prefer pale pink stock and wax flowers myself but they always seem to stick with those roses.....

    If you can get through Val. Day with no smoking, you are A CHAMP!

  18. Just a big bunch of those sweet peas for me please! That list is incredible. I guess it's good to know that romance is still alive and well! Have just been having the loveliest catchup with your blog and all its doings. I love that new '10 things' series.
    Hope the next few days go well! Amanda xx

  21. Hello Jane

    Just reading about that quantity of flowers makes me tired. There must be a wonderful buzz at your shop. I am so proud of you for breaking the habit of smoking. Bravo!!! Are you taking Wednesday off?

  23. Sounds like you're having a blast...btw..sweet peas are a favourite...my Dad used to grow them up the wall of the outside loo when I was little. My knick name was Sweet Pea, my sister's was Pea wee and my youngest sister was Wee wee!! Just a bit of useless information...Robx

  24. Well it's about 7:30 on the east coast...so hope this finds you with a glass of wine in hand after what I'm sure was a very long day. Your list...that's a lot of flowers.

  25. Expect you slept extremely well Jane! What a list. Was thinking of you as I walked by our local florist and wondering how you were getting on. Like very much the sound of your outfit. And well done with the no smoking - I read a poster the other day which listed all the benefits of not smoking and apparently after 3.5 months the lungs re-gain the ability to clean themselves again. Pretty clever I thought... yours will be doing just that now ! XX
