Greetings!
Happy Mother's Day! 

 

Come down to the Market this weekend for some beautiful hanging baskets, patio pots, or fresh cut flowers!  

 

Market Flowers has a huge assortment of bouquets to choose from, and some wonderful flowers so you can make your own ~ like these Snowball Viburnum.


Add us to your weekend plans.  We're open Saturday and Sunday, 6:30am to 1:30 pm.

 

Kids Day Celebration
Our first Kids Day of 2012 is here!

Tiger Belly Bouncer

 

Join us Sunday, May 13th, 9am - 1pm 

for an entire lineup of activities including:

* A Scavenger Hunt  

* Free Craft Activity for the kids sponsored by Do Good Diapers

* Free Special Gift to make for Mom!  

* Free Helium Balloon

* Balloon Animals

* Tiger Belly Bouncer 

* Special music with KMOJ DJ Chaz Millionaire

* Free Pictures with Elmo!  

* And more...    

 

 

We know it's Mother's Day ~ that's WHY we chose May 13th to launch our Kids Day celebrations.  'Cuz every mom knows their favorite place to be is one where their kids can be occupied and happy and excited over the little things in life, like a colorful helium balloon tied to their wrist.  Or the chance to jump on the belly of a tiger. 

   

Or better yet, the chance to make mom a special gift!

 

I'm really bad at keeping presents a secret, so indulge me if I give you a clue: it involves paint and spinning and a controlled environment so you'll still want to claim your kid when it's time to go.  I promise it's fun for them to make and a treasure for you to keep.  Can't beat that!

 

Add us to your weekend plans.  We're open Saturday and Sunday, 6:30am to 1:30 pm. 

It's FUN!  It's Local!  It's what we're all about.

Market Flowers
Purple Sensation Allium

Market Flowers has a section set aside in their coolers for specialty flowers such as these Purple Sensation Allium ~ which, by the way, are the most beautiful we've ever seen.

 

PLUS, we regularly stock a profusion of roses, Hydrangea, tulips, gerbera daisies,  carnations, pom poms, statice, Fuji/Spider mums, and more! 

 

 

Here's a link to the list of bulk flowers you can count on getting from us: MF Bulk Flowers List  

But remember, that's not ALL we carry.  You need to come see for yourself what special items we find for each week.   

Know a bride or someone else needing flowers for an event?

Have you yet experienced a massage from Thai by Thai Massage?  Has Mom? These people WORK! But I've never seen a happier crew.  Bring them all of your aches and pains and relax and enjoy soothing music as they work their magic and restore a sense of wellness to your body.  Very reasonable prices, too. What a great way to tell mom you love her!

Morel Mushrooms are HERE, in Abundance!
Morel Mushroom
We have some truly gargantuan Morels in stock this week ~ as well as the regular-sized ones.  Did you know the color and texture are dependent on which side of the tree they're growing on?  What's your favorite way to cook them?  We like to just sautee them in some butter and let the natural flavors come through.

However you like them, you'll find them near the kettle corn stands on both sides of the Market this weekend.  Come get yours!
