The Holidays

Ahhh, it's so sweet NOT being in the shop today. And yes, it very much still feels like Christmas to me.

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

How do YOU take orders?

Hi!
I visited another flower shop today. The order pad on the counter made me wonder what method they used to indicate the order was already done--you know, once the order is filled--did they list what was used? Did they initial it? Did they 'slash' it?

Amazingly, we used all three in the shops where I've worked.

A diagonal line through an order meant it was done and ready to go. At the bottom of the slash were the designers' initials and on the back was a quick list of what was used--not necessarily numbers, but I always began the list with whatever I used most of--so it might read "dk r roses, volken, yel alstro/solidago, kermits, myrtle, leather...glass" Any other florist reading that could picture the arrangement!
