Florist - Watch this space...

So this is how we got started:
We (Wendy & Justine) sooo love a bargin, but like reeellly “excited” love it and we would hunt high and low for all kinds of “ietsies”. Turns out that there are a lot of people out there that feel the same way as us, which started us on our open days. Those took on a life of their own and by Dec we were doing 2 open days a month so we decided to take the leap and open a shop.

Now we have our new premises at 16 Bute Rd, off Windemere Rd, and due to the fact that we are open 7 days a week instead of 2 days a month, our stock is changing almost on a daily basis. Those who know us, always get here early or check in on a regular basis as our prices are very reasonable and R200 will get you a whole bag of things... Have you ever!
