Camelback Flowershop has been asked to participate in a unique exhibition at the Phoenix Art Museum entitled Arts & Flowers 2008! This four day event will demonstrate how floral designs, created by valley shops, can compliment and reinterpret works of art. "The floral masterpieces," according to Susan von Hellens, Chairwoman of the Phoenix Art Museum League, "will be designed to harmonize perfectly with the works of art on display."
This is our second year participating in this event and we have chosen two very special art pieces to inspire our creativity; the first is 4 Ice Cream Cones by Wayne Thiebaud and the second is The Leek Seller by Alfred Swieykowski. We invite you to come and see how we reinterpret these works of art through flowers. It will be a fun and casual way to enjoy the Museum as well as our floral work!
This event will be held at the Phoenix Art Museum beginning Thursday, March 6 and ending Sunday, March 9. Entry to this special event is included with the price of admission to the Museum. Multiple valley designers will be featured and the works of art will come alive when paired with the natural beauty of flowers!
For more information about events the Museum is offering during these four days, please take a look at their website http://www.phxart.org/events/programs.aspx We encourage everyone to attend and you will be surprised by our creative harmonization of flowers and art!

Valentine's Day was a Success!
Well, Valentine's Day 2008 has come and gone. It was a terrific day, and it was wonderful to connect with clients we rarely get a chance to see. Thank you to all of our "old time" clients, as well as those who used us for the first time this year...without you, it would just be a regular day here at the shop (and we like to spice things up a bit every now and then)!
It was a labor intesive week for those of us working at the shop, but well worth the late night giggles and tired feet. We thought it would be fun to show you a few "behind the scenes" photos of the week leading up to the big day; please pardon some of our attire, but at one o'clock in the morning, a sweatshirt and scarf is all one wants to wear!

Thank you again to everyone and we hope to see you in the near future, or at the very least, next Valentine's Day: same time same place!
