| The star - symbolic of the star that indicated the birth of Christ the King. I made this with the fabric from my 9.5 year old quilt cover. Something new came out of something old. 2011 is almost worn out, and hopefully out of it we learn and experience precious things that will bring forth new strength and hope in 2012. |
The year end Christmas season is my favourite time of the year, with so many of my favourite things happening. Like the crisp cool air, the jolly festive mood, the shopping for gifts (my love language is 'gifts' so i'm really relishing in Christmas shopping) to bless those we care and love, and the many lovely things we see, feel, touch, smell and eat (i've been to Orchard Road 3x in a week, just to soak it up) -all working together to create a warm fuzzy buzz in me.
It is also a time to slow down, reflect, take stock and re-energise for the new year.
2011 has been a wonderful, wonderful year for Flower Couture. Business wise, sales hit a new height, we've done some very interesting projects and there is a healthy growing momentum here at Flower Couture.
But what I'm really grateful for, is the fact that all our customers this year were really nice, pleasant folks who made it such a joy to serve them. To not encounter even one nasty customer is a huge blessing!
I want to thank all our 2011 customers, (including the last one on 30 Dec 11- you know who you are *smiles*), for trusting us with your wedding day / event decorations and giving us the opportunity to serve your floral needs. It is a privilege to serve each one of you.
We'll be taking a break from 22 Dec 2011 to 2 Jan 2012. Just some time out to be with loved ones over the Christmas period, to recuperate, to reflect, to give thanks and to seek out new directions for Flower Couture in 2012.
Wishing you an awesome Christmas holiday and a Happy New Year!
Remember, its all about the relationships around you, so go spread some cheer this Christmas!
God bless you!
