Quite “frankly” you can say it with flowers!
What would Valentine’s Day be without a bouquet of flowers?
And with just over a week left, Frankly Flowers has been gearing up for what will probably be their busiest day of the year.
This Valentine’s Day, they will be working out of their new location on main street.
“The new location is fabulous,” said Carla Boisvert, owner and operator of Frankly Flowers, “I feel very fortunate to have had the opportunity to move onto Mainstreet and we are noticing a lot more walk-by traffic, and are also seeing faces we have never seen before.”
“For Valentine’s Day, we are certain you will not be disappointed with our flowers, sweets and gifts,” said Boisvert, “we carry items suitable for every budget. Our flowers are always fresh and designed by designers with years of experience who ooze with creativity.”
In addition to their fresh and beautifully designed floral arrangements Frankly Flowers offers a wide variety of specialty products.
They have giftware for any occasion; plants, homemade fudge and truffles, teddy bears, bath products, candles and balloons, and speciality orders for weddings, sympathy and silk flower arrangements.
Boisvert says she has always loved creating and selling beautiful products and reflects that in her flowers and giftware. “Our standards and quality are very high, and we guarantee friendly and speedy service.”
Frankly Flowers has a weekly flower special that is advertised on their FACEBOOK page or you can catch a glimpse of the special on the sandwich board in front of the store on main street.
Boisvert says they also have a great customer appreciation program. The shop keeps track of your purchases and you will receive a $15.00 coupon for every $100 spent on flowers and gifts.
Frankly Flowers has been in business since October, 2007 and Boisvert said she is very thankful and fortunate to have a loyal and hard working staff - Tammie, Carol, Taea, Mom, Dad, Joel, Grannie, Grandpa and last but not least, Miss Rhys Payne.
“At Frankly Flowers you will be treated as part of our flower family. We promise to respect and hear your needs, offering you fantastic and quality service! We love to make people smile,” said Boisvert.

It’s Complicated
Writer/director Nancy Meyers (What Women Want, Something’s Gotta Give, The Holiday) directs Meryl Streep, Steve Martin and Alec Baldwin in It’s Complicated, a comedy about love, divorce and everything in between. Jane (Streep) is the mother of three grown kids, owns a thriving Santa Barbara bakery/restaurant and has—after a decade of divorce—an amicable relationship with her ex-husband, attorney Jake (Baldwin). But when Jane and Jake find themselves out of town for their son’s college graduation, things start to get complicated. An innocent meal together turns into the unimaginable—an affair. With Jake remarried to the much younger Agness (Lake Bell), Jane is now, of all things, the other woman. Caught in the middle of their renewed romance is Adam (Martin), an architect hired to remodel Jane’s kitchen. Healing from a divorce of his own, Adam starts to fall for Jane, but soon realizes he’s become part of a love triangle. Should Jane and Jake move on with their lives, or is love truly lovelier the second time around? It’s…complicated. IMDB
