I'm getting married in the morning...

Good morning,

For those of you that know me this blog must come as quite a shock. I'm not really getting married tomorrow, but someone probably is, or at least planning for a wedding. Kelly Hunt writes for the Wausa Wedding Planning Examiner and was kind enough to blog about Greenpurse. Here is the link to the article. http://www.examiner.com/x-26304-Wausau-Wedding-Planning-Examiner
Thanks Kelly! GOD BLESS ALL WHO GAVE THEIR LIVES TO KEEP AMERICA FREE. THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE. Next week, something really unusual, stay tuned and happy, happy week!

How does my garden grow?

Good morning,
Now that the nice weather is here to stay (ha, ha), we've decided to do our planting. This year in addition to flowers we are planting some vegetable and herbs. Buying them fresh is very expensive and sometimes wasteful. Recipes often call for just a few leaves of one kind or another or 1/2 cup of this or that. So if you don't plan on using it in something else, it ends up in the garbage. Growing them yourself, you can cut what you need and harvest large or small fruits. Can hardly wait to get started! Stay tuned, you know I'll keep you posted. Happy, happy week!

Nordem Outdoor

Good morning all,
We had lots of rain and now a little sun. The trees, shrubs and plants are leafing out and the grass never looked better. I've got planting on my mind! I just delivered a couple Nordem baskets for a very dear client and she was delighted! They add color and flair to any outdoor area. The open weave design gives these hangers excellent drainage so plants thrive. Available in many sizes and colors with several designs. Visit gpruse.com to place an order. Do it before June 1st and save 25%! Happy, happy week!

Green Bride Guide

Good morning,
Kate L. Harrison of the Green Bride Guide was kind enough to join with Greenpurse on a give away . One bridal bouquet, grooms boutonniere, four bridesmaids flowers and boutonnieres for four groomsmen with a value of $250. Many varieties and colors are available from our stock of fabrics. But better than that, we can create your arrangements from something that has meaning for you. Perhaps it's a table cloth of your grandmothers, or your mothers wedding dress that is in disrepair. Either way, our flowers are beautiful and last a lifetime. We also offer a free service for re-arrangements after your wedding! Please visit: http://www.thegreenbrideguide.com/webform/may-contest-survey to enter. All contestants get a $10 voucher just for trying and as always, 10% of all sales goes to children of abuse. Happy Mother's Day and happy, happy week!

Interviews

Good morning all,
I've been very fortunate to have had many interviews over the past couple years. Perhaps our recent Earth Day has inspired several of these companies to post my interview. The first is with a business called Gaebler Ventures. They are a business incubator and hold company located in Chicago, Illinois and has been investing with companies since 1999. Impressive and interesting indeed!

The second interview is with Courtney Dirks of Meylah. Her blog focuses on helping creative minded people with entrepreneurial advice and social networking know-how (and boy can I use it!). Also a very nice blog with lots of good, practical advice and articles.

Many thanks and continued success to Ellen Hanson of Gaebler Ventures and Courtney Dirks, Meylah. Happy, happy week!
