Flowers On The Vine - Parma

09/06/2026

I spent this weekend at Akron Authors Con doing two things I once only imagined myself doing: selling and signing my own books and speaking to an audience about creative reinvention.

My presentation was titled “Reinventing Yourself Creatively: From Enterprise Technology to Flowers, Fiction, and Publishing.”

I talked about what happens when the life you expected is no longer available. You can decide that it is an ending - or you can treat it as an opening.

My path has included enterprise technology, business ownership, flowers, fiction, and publishing. It hasn’t been predictable, but it has been mine.

Thank you to everyone who stopped at my table, bought a book, shared a story, or attended my presentation. Giving someone a signed copy creates a personal experience between the writer and the reader that an online sale simply cannot.

It was a good weekend - and one I won’t forget.

🌸 Breaking News: You Don’t Need a Reason to Buy Flowers.

Not a birthday.
Not an anniversary.
Not even an apology. 😄

Sometimes “I saw these and thought of you” is the best reason of all.

Brighten someone’s week—or your own—with something beautiful from Flowers on the Vine – Parma.

Sadly, I was old enough (7 years) to be listening to the AM radio to hear all of these songs. I found this list in a Buzzfeed article and I enjoyed reviewing it. I will spend some time listening to several of these songs on this rainy Sunday.

This masterpiece was created this weekend for a memorial service. I am so blessed to have such a talented team of designers.

🌸 A Fresh Look. Same Local Heart.

You may notice something a little different about Flowers on the Vine – Parma.

Since our inception, our familiar frog has been part of the Flowers on the Vine identity. And while we'll always have a soft spot for him, we felt it was time for our look to evolve along with our shop.

So we're excited to introduce our new Flowers on the Vine – Parma logo.

It's a little more elegant.
A little more sophisticated.
And we think it better represents the floral designs and experience we want to provide our customers every day.

But while the logo is changing, the things that matter aren't.
🌿 We're still locally owned and operated.

🌸 We're still creating beautiful arrangements for life's big moments-and the ordinary days that deserve flowers too.

💐 And you'll still find real floral designers ready to help you create something special, whether your budget is $50 or $500.

New look. Same shop. Same people. Same commitment to Parma and our customers.

And to our little frog...
Thanks for getting us this far. 🐸❤️🌸
