Aoyama Flower Mart

I am busy creating a shopping experience for all Arrangers.....as I had intended to years ago. It will be set up as a country store and carry so much more than just Floral accessories. For those of you who remember my brick and mortar store on Main Street in Gloucester years ago Fiddlers Green Antiques, you will know how much fun shopping can be!
