Favorite Things - First in Series

We all have favorite things, don’t we?

You probably already know that in addition to flowers, Twigs has all kinds of other things. Today we thought it would be fun to share with you some of our favorite goodies, namely, CHOCOLATE!

First up is Twigs’ “signature” chocolate from Graffiti Zoo.
By “signature” we mean that we have carried it since we opened our doors.
Graffiti Zoo chocolates are wonderful, whimsical chocolate barks which use all natural ingredients, come in a variety of flavors and are made here in the United States.

Don't forget a portion of Graffiti Zoo profits benefit the Conservation Endowment Fund of the 

American Zoo  & Aquarium Association

Graffiti Zoo Chocolates $1.98 (0.9oz) $3.98 (2.4oz) and $6.98 (4.5oz)

If you haven’t tried any yet, we encourage you to do so today!

(on their own or in our Chocolate Sampler bouquet shown below) 

Our Chocolate Sampler bouquet starts at 36.95

Second on our list is the well-known Godiva chocolate bar.
We carry four varieties of these wonderful confections as our “staples”.

$3.75 per 1.5oz bar

If you’ve visited our website, www.YeringtonFlowers.com, you’ve probably noticed these delights in our Chocolate Indulgence bouquet which always seem to be in demand for Mother’s Day.

Our Chocolate Indulgence bouquet $49.95

An added bonus to these chocolates is that they make a decadent sugar free bar for those who need to moderate their sugar intake. And you guessed it; we have them in stock, ready for purchase!

Next up are the Cote d’Or chocolate bars from Belgium.
Let’s just say, “OMG”?!
These chocolates are Yumm-o!
Smooth, silky and melt in your mouth.
Who doesn’t like Belgium chocolate anyway?
You absolutely MUST try one!
We have a fresh batch on the way.

And finally, last on our list, but certainly not least, are the Andrea Stainer chocolate “infusion” bars.
These amazing, innovative chocolates are new to us here at Twigs.
They come to us from Italy and are absolutely “mind-blowing”.
The company uses a patented technique of infusing various flavors into the chocolate so that you experience the flavor combination in every bite.
The flavor combinations they’ve come up with are unique and seemingly limitless!
We have several to choose from and encourage you to do so today!

Andrea Stainer infused chocolates are $5.50 each (1.7oz  bar)

Well, there you have it; the first blog post in our “Favorite Things” series.
We hope you enjoyed it and more importantly, we hope you’ll stop by soon and try one of these decadent treats!
Not a local? No problem! Send us an email or Facebook us and we would be delighted to send you any of these wonderful products via the good ol’ US postal service.
Until next time- Lysa

My ValentineI

I can’t believe it’s almost Valentine’s Day!
Just the other day, my (teenage) children were reminiscing about making Valentine “mailboxes” in kindergarten and how much fun it was.

As I listened to their conversation, however, I was a little saddened to hear my 15 year old son remark about how a child’s “popularity” was based upon how many Valentines he/she received.

Then I thought about how I have taught them how to view Valentine’s Day.

In our home, Valentine’s Day is one more opportunity to show
people that we care about them. Every year, we spend time making Valentines for the people we hold most dear. Whether it is cookies, cupcakes, cards or trinkets, we pour our love into our Valentine treats so that each of our “Valentine’s” will know how special they are!

Here at Twigs, we delight in providing for all of your Valentine needs.
Whether it is flowers, chocolates/cookies, balloons or trinkets, we have what you’re looking for!

How about surprising your co-workers with a beautiful, wrapped carnation? Perhaps your children would be delighted with a special stuffed animal, a decadent chocolate bar or box of cookies.
Your Secret Pal might love any of the above or perhaps enjoy a bath fizzy and martini mix…or perhaps, a delightfully scented candle.

Wouldn’t it be fun to surprise your special “someone” with a balloon bouquet?

Is it Roses you want? Well, we have those too!!! Beautiful, red roses and plenty of other lush colors!

Whatever your heart desires to show your Valentines that you care, we have it here at Twigs!

Please Give us a call- We would be happy to create something 

special for your Valentine!

A Special Day

Hey everybody! This is Lysa, finally, posting another blog entry. Where have I been for the last few months? Sheesh!

Anyway, with “the Holidays” behind us and a New Year in full swing, I was reflecting about what days are really special to me and wondering what days are the most special to you.

In our home, we make the biggest deal over birthdays. I hold the belief that the day each of us came into this world is a very special one. (Wouldn’t that mean that every day is special then? Hmmm…I’ll have to think on that one some more!) Suffice it to say that in our family, birthdays are the days we “go all out” for one another.

Since Twigs is all about celebrating special days and special people, I thought it would be great to get input from all of you out in “blog land”!  What day do you consider the most special for your friends and loved ones? We’d love to hear from you so post your comments! It should be fun!

I Love Thanksgiving

BF-- Before Flowershop- I used to make a big deal over the Thanksgiving holiday & dinner. Now, I wish I could but just don't have the time I use to have. I miss it , I really do,  the fuss- the menu planning- the house smelling scrumptious for days while I prepare all the goodies.



I think I may plan on having a 'modified' version of our traditional Thanksgiving dinner at our house this year- of course nobody knows this except me.. and now all of you!

I'm planning my table.. I think I may do something dramatic this year with tall centerpieces fall leaves,  red pomegranates & roses  (to compliment my Grandma's red glass , and maybe some pine for greenery. 

 we have lots of great centerpiece specials at Twigs.  Our popular  centerpiece special , A Market centerpiece designed with fruits, flowers and leaves in a darling low market basket.(it's brand new!) and of course the traditional Cornucopia shown below.

What are your plans this Thanksgiving?
We would love to hear from you!

We've Launched a New Blog!

We have just yesterday launched our new blog- Prom Flowers!

I've looked around the web at many different websites and blogs devoted to prom and I'm so disappointed to find hardly ANYTHING mentioned about the wonderful flowers and accessories available.
SO..
I'm looking forward to posting about all things Prom and of course Flowers. I will also be featuring posts on related information such as limo services, great places to have that special prom dinner, tips on your prom night hair from our local salons and lots and lots of new corsage designs.

CLICK HERE  to go to our new blog & when you get there make sure to share it with your friends on facebook or twitter!

Fall Decorating

Let me start by saying I love Fall- The scents of spiced apple and cozy oven meals, the colors & textures of the outdoors as it changes.. It inspires me to get inside and spruce up my poor neglected house!
 This week at Twigs our pumpkins, gourds and Indian corn will be ready for sale at the shop, so I thought I would collect some of my favorite fall decorating ideas from around the web & share them with you. 

Do you have some unusual jars around the house?
You can fill those babies up with all kinds of great things that instantly say FALL is HERE- leaves, nuts, or candy. (no snitching!) 
 Complete the look by adding leaves, mini pumpkins and votive candles (how about votive candles IN the mini pumpkins?)
 This is also a great idea for a fireplace mantle...

How about outside?
Check out this Indian corn pitchfork! ha ha
Just secure the corn with wire and you can hang it like this or lean it against the wall on your entry way or porch.

LOVE these stacked pumpkins (below)- you will have to secure them by impaling them with sticks or a dowel. Paint your house numbers on them!

 Love this outdoor pumpkin "light fixture"! Perfect for those of you who have wonderful backyards or patios.

  OK.. this witch is too fun! You might see her cousin on MY front porch!

Until next time- happy decorating!

 A Little About Me

Have you ever noticed that people are so drawn to people? Take celebrities for instance. How do they even become celebrities? By people taking an interest in people! How many of you check out the biography or profile pages of blogs and/or web sites you’re interested in? I sure do!

I’m no celebrity; however, Tracey has asked that I share a little about myself for all of you who follow Twigs’ Blog.

My name is Lysa Humildad. I am a wife and a mother of three biological children and spiritual mom to many others. I have many interests and passions which often lead me on various endeavors                       

Currently, I am “stationed” at Twigs. Twigs is a wonderful little shop located in Yerington, Nevada. Many of you know Twigs as your local florist. However, Twigs is about so much more! Twigs offers a variety of gifts and goodies which are all about making people feel good.

One of my own passions is to influence people in a positive way. I love beautiful things and I love to surround myself with things that make a positive impact on my life. And I love to share those things with others. At Twigs, I am able to do just that!

I have been here at Twigs for about six months now. It has been a blessing to work with Tracey and to help her in her business. Not only am I blessed with beautiful surroundings, but I am able to come along side Tracey and encourage her. Working at a job isn’t about the pay check, although it certainly helps! It’s about what we can bring to the work place, the community and the people around us. I hope that I have been as much of a blessing to both Tracey and my community as they have been to me!

With warm and fragrant thoughts until next time,
Lysa
