The flowers from two weddings at the Biltmore Estate were both creations of Stacey at the Bloom Room.  Totally spectacular!  Just look at the photos of some of the flowers in the truck.  I picked up from a wedding at the Conservatory on Saturday morning, but kept most of those for Sunday morning, to be added to another wedding from Deerpark.  Two huge buckets of flowers from Saturday made their way to Brooks-Howell and they were stunned by the beauty of them - I love doing that!  I walk in with buckets full of beautiful flowers, get lots of kudos for it when all I did was go pick them up and drive them over.  This is a job you gotta love!

Flowers from both weddings, and more even from The Fresh Market, were distributed to Care Partners Rehab Hospital (shown here), as well as the Solace Center, McCune Assisted Living Center and The Laurels of Summit Ridge.  At Rehab we had a Hands On Asheville project and Clare and Leslie showed up to help.  Clare and I did the pick up and managed to get them all in the pickup.  And you can see some of the arrangements on the cart as Leslie wheels them around to the rooms at Rehab.  They give the patients and the staff a real boost.  To see more photos and to find out who are new hairy volunteer is, click here.
