August 18, 2009

I am very pleased to announce that my customer Erin Leutschaft has shown true entrepreneurial spirit in the puchase of the flower shop on mainstreet Carstairs known as It’s a Jungle. Her Grand Opening celebration  was on August 15,2009 . Needless to say she was gratified by the initial reponse and looks forward to providing a continueded high level of service to her existing and new customers.

Her passion for flowers started an early age and grew as took the Floral Design Program and Olds College. Upon graduating in 2002 she a has worked in the industry and run her own on-line  and home -based wedding flower business.  I am certain that her new storefront location will compliment and help her expand her wedding business. Oh! and by the way she delivers.

One of the interesting lines she will soon be adding  in gift wear selection is that she has found a supplier that will provide her with unique hand crafted products made by Women of Afganistan.
