Florists urge placing Valentine's Day orders early - KMVT

TWIN FALLS, Idaho (KMVT/KSVT) - Valentine's Day is just about two weeks away, and some florists are hoping shoppers get their orders in early by offering an incentive. For Canyon Floral, they start prepping for Valentine's Day right after Christmas. Manager Elizabeth Lehmann said many of their wholesale companies and flower growers will start sending pre-book orders between Christmas Day and New Years Day. "The earlier they order, the better. That way I can staff better, and I can make sure I have enough drivers and try and get extra designers so we can take those last minute orders," Lehmann said. Another florist, Fox Floral, is giving out a discount to those who do order early, hoping to help the crowd and be prepared for what they need to order before the big day.

And I think it’s important to see how other people create and to look at other people’s process.” Advertisement Price, who is originally from Idaho but came to Boston more than a decade ago to attend graduate school at the Boston Conservatory, is funding the house in its entirety, she said, including the cost of room and board and food for those selected to visit. Interested artists are on the hook for their plane tickets.But she isn’t letting just anyone into the art house.Price said she’s vetting applicants before booking time slots, Airbnb style. The stays will range from three to seven days at a time, to allow as many people as possible to attend and focus on their work.So, what’s the catch?Price stressed that the opportunity isn’t just to soak up the sun in Mexico during a free vacation — it’s about working toward a goal and making connections along the way. Advertisement “You have to have something you’re working on,” she said. “We want you to have that intense, focused moment to create something, whether that’s a passion project or you’re writing a book or album and you’re stuck and you need a fresh scene to be inspired. We’re asking people to work on specific projects and talk about what they can bring to the house.”The other element, she said, is getting people who come down to Mexico to contribute to the group and get acquainted with the Mexican community.“Maybe you’re a musician, and you can bless us with your music in the evenings,” she said. “Or maybe you also lead guided meditations or do yoga, and you can offer that type of engagement.”Price said she’s had more than 50 conversations with artists interested in spending time at the Wandering Art House, many of them from Boston.“Already I&rsqu... https://www.bostonglobe.com/lifestyle/2018/12/11/boston-florist-launches-art-house-retreat-mexico-for-creatives-hoping-focus-projects/CJ0OTfhZM1w6F3DafJXIiL/story.html
