Valentines Flowers!

On Friday, February 12, I got a knock at my front door and opened it to the most pleasant delivery man named Charlie Price. He was holding this absolutely gorgeous arrangement of flowers that were so fragrant. You see...Charlie Price is one of my dear friends and college sorority sister's father. And Alicia Price Rico is the amazing creator of this beautiful arrangement. And this beautiful arrangement was from my loving dad who never misses a holiday by sending me flowers!

Alicia and her husband, Adam, own a art, craft, and floral shop on Lower Greenville. Here is a little write up about this neat little shop...

It's been awhile since a new face has blossomed on the Dallas floral-boutique scene, but prepare for a fresh burst of flower power. Meet newcomer Alicia Rico, a New York designer who migrated south las fall to open Bows and Arrows, a charming flower shop and art gallery run in partnership with her newlywed husband, Adam (who is very talented himself!). The store has an indie vibe - black walls, vintage chic and handmade crafts. Rico describes her floral work as "lush, low, girly and textural," which we translate as "extraordinarily beautiful." The arrangements are overflowing with petals, and infused with offbeat twists like succulents or a single sunflower, stripped of its yellow petals.

Alicia Rico, who comes to Dallas by way of beloved Brooklyn floral studio Seaport Flowers, aims to seek out the unusual and keep things interesting. She's both designed and styled flowers for Martha Stewart Weddings. And her own sunshine-kissed wedding is featured in the spring-summer 2010 edition of The Knot New York magazine.



I am so excited for Adam and Alicia, their store is absolutely incredible! They are also awaiting a bundle of joy, a baby girl named Dotty! I can't wait to meet her!
