Big Screen Florist is Big Deal for Boston Shop

When Rick Canale celebrates the feats of superstars playing the field in his flower shop, the Boston florist is usually talking RBIs and homeruns, not Hollywood golden girls and romantic comedies.
But love can change a person, or in this case, “Love Happens,” the movie starring Jennifer Aniston as a florist, has changed Canale. The official florist of the Boston Red Sox and 2008 Floral Management Marketer of the Year is now pitching the movie’s premiere with exclusive picture-perfect arrangements online and ticket-stub deals at Exotic Flowers.
Canale’s home page (www.exoticflowers.com) sells Teleflora bouquets from “Eloise’s Garden,” the name of the fictional Seattle shop owned by Aniston’s character. In an e-mail he’ll send Sept. 18, when the film opens nationwide, Canale accesses his Hollywood reporter with a behind-the-scenes look at Aniston’s training alongside industry veteran Marie Ackerman.
Customers bearing a ticket stub (and likely a matching sappy grin) get to head for home with a free rose. - Amanda Long www.safnow.org

"And that it’s been a busy week for the floral bunch over at Exotic Flowers in Faneuil Hall. First they delivered a huge arrangement of magenta and pearl white tiger lilies down to TPC in Norton for - you guessed it - Tiger Woods . Then the greenhouse gurus delivered six “sensational” floral arrangements to the Harborside Funeral Home in the North End where Mafia mob boss Jerry Angiulo was being waked." - The Boston Herald, Inside Track 9/4/9

Ted Kennedy Memorial

Our Faneuil Hall location has seen an outporing of affection for Senator Kennedy today. We are saluting the Senator today with a bundle of red , white and blue balloons outside of the store.

Many visitors are stopping by Exotic Flowers in Quincy Market to purchase American Flags and white roses for the late Senator.

R.I.P. Ted Kennedy

No matter what your political party, one must respect the passing of Ted Kennedy. He was a man of conviction. I personally was not a fan of his politics, but I admired the man. Very few exist today that stand by their principles.
Most are fence sitters and are afraid to show their colors. Kennedy was not.
Our world needs more men and women of conviction.

Terrain at Styer's

I often hit the road to get inspired. Recently I was in Brandywine, PA. I visited Longwood Gardens; truly amazing.

I only wish Boston could have such a place.

I also visited Terran in Glen Mills, PA. Terrain is owned by the Urban Outfitters and Anthropologie.

This store is the BEST Store I have ever been to - bar none.

My only regret of this store was very few people were buying.

Sales Tax Increase in Massachusetts

The sales tax increase in Mass will only hurt the less affluent - the ones who make less than $50,000 a year. They will feel it the most. As a small business, we look locally and we hope that our customers are taken care of by their local government.

Smaller government - isn't that what Reagan promoted ?

Who thought we would live in a country where the gov't owns 61% of General Motors ?
