What's better than a scoop of chocolate ice cream, your favorite song on the radio or a smile from a child in the booster seat one booth over?
We need to remember what this life is all about.
Different things to different people I do realize, but to most, I would venture to say, the deadline at work is not top of the list. Instead it's more about a hot cup of coffee, the sweet smell of honeysuckle or the tickle of a cat's tail on your leg.
These things and a few more are why I created Anteloquy. A cute little store full of life's simple pleasures. OK, well, the dream of a cute little store. For now, I am completely happy creating arrangements and cards for first date follow ups, pregnancy pick me ups and everything in between, from the comfort of home sweet home. Friends and family have utilized these services exclusively long enough. Don't get me wrong, I adore creating a bouquet of flowers for grandma or a wedding invitation for my best friend. I just think it's time to open the doors to the public. To the cute little couple across the street I've only had a chance to say "hi" to during yard work, or the chipper cashier at the bank I see on a weekly basis, and to the overzealous jogger I see morning after morning after morning after morning after morning out of my kitchen window. Anteloquy is my place to focus on the details and remember "it's the little things that matter". Simple indulgences are the things I cherish most. Why not share them with others?
Through the years I have created anything from a cute give away for a friend on a bad day to an emotionally challenging, beautiful arrangement for my grandather's funeral. I have created a warm and fuzzy card for a friend's wife and a gorgeous letterpress wedding invitation set, complete with personalized thank you cards and envelopes. Each of these projects have equally come from the heart.
Attention to the way the flowers fall in a centerpiece, the way the font ever so slightly hints at the emotion of the card and the way a perfectly wrapped package can make even socks and underwear look delicious, is my way of relaxing and reveling in a job well done. All to often are these tiny particulars overlooked. I mean am I wrong or is there something to be said for a perfectly matched gift tag tied to the package with a bow you know took more than one try to get it that fluffy?
Ok, enough about me already, what's in it for you? Well, as I said earlier, it's time to open these niceties to the public. So for starters, it just so happens the day deemed to honour thy mother is just around the corner. That's right folks, Mother's Day is May 9th and this year you could be the star sibling.

And for those of you outside-the-boxers who don't see exactly what you want to give or spend, shoot me a quick email and we will work something out.
Directions and Information to Order:
-All orders must be placed by May 3rd to make it by Mother's Day.
-Please email me your choice and I will gladly email or call you back to discuss
the details: anteloquydesigns@gmail.com
-Cash or Check only please.
-No two arrangements will be alike, to each his own I like to say.
This means, each vase, each flower choice, each card will be unique in its own way.
-No delivery is created equal. Meaning, San Antonio is a very large city and I will
need to coordinate with you on appropriate pricing.
So for now I am off to create in the hopes I will be hearing from you soon!
I would like to leave you with one thought,
"Simple pleasures are life's treasures and it truly is the little things that matter most."
That's What It's All A-bout,
Brooke
