So, you know that florist that you always nearly crash in to
when it is raining or snowing and you’re trying to stop at the bottom of
Highland Avenue past the library as you get to Southgate but you can’t stop
because your husband has not taken your car for new brake pads despite your
repeated attempts to get him to do so, your pleas for your safety and the
safety of his children (think of the children!) but he continuously just won’t
do it (true story)? They are
a new sponsor for FTM!
Case’s Goldenleaf
Florist at 2704 Alexandria Pike in Southgate, KY (www.casesgoldenleaf.com) has been in
operation since the 1950’s and under its current name for more than 20 years,
but it is under new ownership only since July of 2012 and the Fort Thomas-native owners have already made some exciting
changes to the store. The website,
for example, is new and not only does it highlight all of the impressive store
offerings, but it also allows one to purchase from the website AND any online
purchases are delivered for free.
Their online catalog shows many floral
arrangement options, handcrafted soaps, Kentucky Cream Candy, and their
neat cement garden pieces (in-store only). Additionally, they are adding other gift items including
Yankee Candles, jewelry, and bourbon balls and assorted chocolates. And unique items such as home décor, handmade knitted baby items, and even some UK gear. They’ll make a terrarium for your office or arrangements for
your events such as weddings.
I know what you’re thinking: “how do I get in the parking
lot”, or, “aren’t they always closed; it’s always so dark!” Or, maybe you’ve been before and found
the prices to be higher than average.
Well, the owners are aware of the concerns and have made strides toward
correcting what they could. Prices have dropped on items throughout
the store and they’ve added better lighting and livened the place up with a new
paint job.
So, if you haven’t tried them before, I suggest you give
Case’s a chance. Stop in for some
loose flower sales or a fresh bundle (starting at $11.95 per bundle). Loose flower sales is a European
practice of selling 8 or 10 stems for the buyer to arrange him or herself and
is a practice that many florists find cumbersome, per the owners, but is
growing in popularity with young people, especially, who are looking for an
economical way to decorate.
Or, stop in for Valentine’s
Day (yes husband, it is STILL on February 14 this year, Hallmark didn’t
cancel it!). A dozen roses with
baby’s breath and tree fern is selling for only $43 including tax.
For our readers only, Case’s Goldenleaf Florist is having a Valentines Giveaway! Be on the look out for more information.
Check out their website at http://www.casesgoldenleaf.com/ and
stop in to see all they have to offer.
Tell them FTM sent you!
