Mother's Day 2008

Your mother, step-mother, or anyone whom you consider a mother figure has been there through thick and thin. She has cared for you, provided love and support, and helped you through challenging times. Even if she has some flaws (as we all do), she holds a place in your heart that no one can ever take. So this year, celebrate your mother and show her how special and deserving she is as a mother, and as a woman!

Mother's Day is just around the corner and we have the perfect gifts for your loved one!

Oh What a Night!

The fashion show was a tremendous success! The models, clothing, shoes, and accessories were beautiful--not to mention the Maserati and our floral work. It was a wonderful event and a great way to reinforce our partnership with roberto botticelli.

The ladies at the shop worked overtime to design the two enormous Manzanita trees with beautiful hydrangea and roses. But the extra work was well worth it, since the trees looked fantastic and truly added ambiance to the evening.

The best part about the night was that 10% of the profits went to the Phoenix Art Museum. Thus, the fashion show was not only a fun and chic event, but it also benefited a great museum which gives back to the community as well.

Below are some photos from the fashion show. We all had a very pleasant time (although Lauren was dearly missed), and got to appreciate our work within its proper context.

Arts and Flowers 2008

The Arts and Flowers event at the Phoenix Art Museum was a fantastic experience. It allowed us to publicly display our designs and utilize our creativity to reinterpret fine works of art. Rather than simply creating a floral arrangement to match the art's color and style, we chose to design our pieces to express the emotions conveyed by the art. We wanted to bring the art alive through flowers and demonstrate our own innovation and talent.
For those who attended the event, we hope you enjoyed all that it had to offer. If you were

We would like to thank the Phoenix Art Museum for asking us to participate in this special event. We would also like to thank anyone who attended and viewed our designs; we appreciate the enthusiasm and it means a great deal to have the support of our clients and friends! We are looking forward to being involved with this event again in 2009, and we will certainly have another round of splendid reinterpretations of fine art.

Upcoming Event

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!
