annie here.

as some of you may already know, the doe girls frequently venture to half moon bay to deck out our lower haight boutique with fresh plants and flowers.

this week, with kati gone on a much needed yoga retreat, amanda and i took over flower duty. coffee in hand, we made our way down the scenic highway to our very favorite nursery.

our favorite part of this journey is that no two trips are alike. the nursery changes it’s selection seasonally, so we always run into something different.

here’s a glimpse of what we encountered:

after a bit of browsing, and a lot of “ooo’s and ahh’s”, amanda and i checked out and loaded our goods into the car.

once finished at the nursery, amanda and i were ready to refuel with lunch. sticking to tradition, we decided to stop at one of ours, and kati’s, favorite local eateries. after both ordering the special sandwich of the day, we happily chowed down.

stuffed, we decided to take a stroll down to the beach where we were greeted with fresh air and great scenery.

it was the perfect time for a photo-op; you can see the happy in our faces:

feeling energized, we made our way back to san francisco.

upon return, amanda and i worked at matching our plants with their respective decorative pots and pricing them for sale. special delivery for doe:

it takes a lot of time and energy to stock up on flowers, but well worth it. the plants help the store look pretty, and our shoppers appreciate the variety. they make great gifts, and most are relatively easy to care for. additionally, the doe girls relish the mini-adventures away from the city and enjoy working hard to maintain the shop (always with a smile).

we are all super excited to have the scent of flowers permeating through our store. soon, we’ll also be getting a weekly delivery of fresh bouquets - so locals, be on watch and swing by to say hello!
