I thought it might be fun to do something unexpected for somebody else on Valentine’s Day. Accordingly, I went to Flowers by Suzanne in Herkimer, NY, and purchased some carnations.
I love flowers.
Mindful of my mental and physical health, I walked. I am SO looking forward to bare roads and sidewalks! The lady at Suzanne’s was very helpful. I got pink and white carnations, which she nicely wrapped in some pink paper. She told me they did not need to be put in the little water holders; they would be fine. I walked back down Mohawk Street till I came to To Niche Their Own, a delightful little shop I have written about before.
It’s a cool place.
Ashley, the owner was behind the counter, and a lady (whose name I stupidly did not ask) was working at the sewing machine in the window. I presented each of them with a carnation. They were very happy. Ashley insisted on giving me a beautiful artificial flower. I may purchase some of them for other people! Ashley also pointed out to me some new earrings that had come in, handmade and each pair unique. I returned later and purchased a pair.
My next stop was A Little Touch of Country on South Washington Street. The owner was very touched, saying I made her day. She gave me a hug, which made my day!
I don’t have a picture of the outside of the shop, but here is some of the merchandise.
I gave flowers to others, but those were the most memorable, and the best shout-outs. It wasn’t a bad Valentine’s Day.
Flowers by Suzanne is located at 433 Mohawk St., Herkimer, NY, phone number 315-866-0206. To Niche Their Own is at 127 Mohawk St., A Little Touch of Country on South Washington Street.
