Shout out to Radford City Florists

On Thursday I dropped by Radford City Florists to see my friends Curtis and Jeff.  I'm hunting ruby red glass containers for my battery operated candles that are on timers.  http://www.batteryoperatedcandles.net/  These candles are wonderful and make life just a little sweeter,especially in the dark time of winter. 
the twitch on the bottom has three choices--off, on, and timer.   If you put them on the timer, choose at time you want them to come on and then flick the switcher at that time to timer.  They come on, stay on for about four hours, and come on again ever day at the time that you turned them on 




But back to the hunt. In trying to find these ruby red glass candle containers, I found that the best source was wholesale florists vases.  So off I went to see Jeff and Curtis.  They had several options and one worked really well. A  lovely footed hurricane that will hold a pillar candle quite nicely. 

As usual we had to chat about this and that and how was business and how was business on Main Street and such what.  The Jeff said, "Would you like some roses?"  Now, I buy cut flowers at RCF often and Jeff has given me flowers before but not like this. RCF has a weekly special of a dozen roses for $9.95 which works pretty well as walk ins from guys who need some flowers for various reasons.   But this past week the weather has been very crummy here so fewer walk ins.  Jeff put together this huge armload of roses that literally made me stagger at times.  When I finally got to the Jeep the bicep of my right arm was aching.  I took them to my office and handed some out to staff and then the rest went home into three huge bouquets--one in a silver ice bucket. 




Aren't these beautiful.  Thank you, thank you Jeff and Curtis.  I just love all the mixed colors.  So, folks if you need flowers please check RCF out. http://www.radfordflorist.com/
