The day started perfect with nice, steady rain, but we did not let that deter us. We rolled out the barbecue, lit up the oak wood, and got the party started. In attendance were Joe and Tom Goldberg, the owners of Skyline Flowers, who cooked and mingled. Both said they were very surprised with the turnout and loved hearing the rave reviews about the flowers and our business. At noon the party officially began and lunch was served. There was chicken and tri-tip cooked Santa Maria style, chilli beans, watermelon, and salad. Joe was the chef of the day and he defintely showed off his skills with everything turning out delicious. Around one o'clock, we played a short movie about the history of Skyline, how it started, where it's been, and where it's going. Following the movie, Debbie Deis, a California designer, held a very nice design show. Speaking with florists after the event, they said they really paid attention during the design show and even learned a few things.
It is really amazing how fast we have grown here in Seattle. Only in our thrd month, we feel we are performing well above any benchmark that we had set for ourselves. The flower community continues to accept us into their businesses and homes. We can not show enough thanks for all of this. Thank you again Seattle!
