Fresh Flowers at The Farm Stand!

Our beloved neighborhood market, The Farm Stand, is open at it's shiny new location at 1009 12th Street in the heights in Hood River. We're excited because they have a lot more space to house their quality organic, local, and fresh produce, meats, seafood, and an array of other natural products and food items, and an expanded deli with seating.

We're also pleased to be working with The Farm Stand to offer our fresh flower wraps every week, right inside their new store--the perfect complement to the fixins' for a beautiful meal, or simply to spruce up your space!

Invitations and More!

It's that time of year already -- wedding season will be in full swing before we know it, which raises the question: If you're getting married in 2012, have you picked out and ordered your wedding invitations yet?

It's never too early to cross this important task off your to-do list. Just about one year ago, we wrote a post about the invitations we carry here in the shop. We still carry these same invitations, and can work with you to order the style that's right for you.

Because Mari Bliss Boutique carries invitations from several different vendors, we can always find the best option for your budget and needs.

Naturally Ever After offers invitations made with recycled materials!

We've also got a cozy corner right here in the store to meet and talk about your upcoming wedding -- so come by, and stay awhile! You'll find lots of ideas and inspiration, and will feel good crossing things off that to-do list!

Flowers of a Different Kind For Your Valentine

The most romantic day of the year is tomorrow...what are you getting for your Valentine? 

We love, love, love Anenome in shades of love, arranged en masse with variegated greens.

Or how about something REALLY different this year, like these frilly Proteas? They make a big statement, and are long-lasting as they come (just like your love!).

Roses are always a hit, and we especially love them lined up above a tier of variegated tulips, with one yellow rose in the center for a fun twist!

And then there are Gerbs. Everyone loves Gerber daisies, they are just so happy, expressive, and fun. Plus they come in about a million colors and sizes, so the sky is the limit when it comes to arranging.

There is still plenty of time for Valentine's Day shopping, and we're open until 6:00 pm today and tomorrow!

Sweets For Your Sweet

Chocolates are nice, but handmade toffee is even better! This toffee is the BEST we've ever tasted, hands down. 

Mari Bliss Boutique has plenty of this delectable treat in stock for Valentine's Day. This hazelnut toffee is made right here in Oregon by Holm Made Toffee Company. It's freshly packaged and ready to go--perfect with a lovely bouquet of fresh-cut flowers! 

We're open all weekend, Saturday 10 am - 4 pm, Sunday 12 - 4 pm, and Monday and Tuesday, Valentine's Day, from 10 am - 6 pm!

Wow! We Love These Wall Panels

We've been wanting to share these fabulous wall panels for quite some time now! Made by the company Twelve Timbers, these panels are a fun way to spruce up and add some flair to any space. 

They are kind of cool straight from the shipping container in a bare wood finish, but we also love them painted white (you already know how we feel about white!). You can, of course, paint them any color you fancy--which is part of what makes them so much fun!

What is also fun about these panels is how versatile they are. Use them to define or divide a space, such as a headboard above a bed.

Painting the wall behind the panel a different color than the rest of the room is a great idea, providing depth and the illusion that the headboard is a standalone piece. 

We have four different patterns in stock at Mari Bliss Boutique. Stop by the store to see them in person and talk to us about how you can incorporate them into your next design/remodel/rearrange project!
