flower shop

Today is the day that I will officially open my shop as I dressed up on the most beautiful dress that my would made for me.

She said to wear it on the most special day of my life , which was today.

I visited the garden and asked the workers to help me out with the flowers I choose to sell and the other flowers that I would use as a decoration.

Mom also helped , along with william as we arranged the flowers by it's colors and I arranged the stuff I need to calculate and the cash register and also the lights.

"You did well , my child" Mom said and hugged me as I smiled and hugged her back as I tied my hair into a braid as I went back to my shop to grab a sweet basil and turned around to see a lot of people outside the shop and I smiled.

"Thank you for coming to my shop!" I paused and smiled as I raised the sweet basil that is in my hand. "This sweet basil means 'good wishes' as I wish for my shop to have a good fortune and would attract people and so that the language of the flowers will be known to everyone" I said as they clapped and I just smiled at them and mom gave me a scissor as I cut the ribbon on the door as they clapped again.

My uncle arrived with my cousin , Valerie , she is 18 years old and a college student , currently studying photography as she came to capture the moment in the opening of my shop.

She hugged me and then to William , to Mom as she took a picture of me and my shop and also , our family.

Her sister Serena came as well and her sister is a journalist as she bombarded me a lot of questions and of course , I answered her as I went back to my shop because I have customers.

I don't just sell flowers but also gardening equipments in case my customers wants to grow flowers on their own.

I saw a costumer holding a white carnation as I approach her with my warm smiles as she asked me what's the meaning of the white carnation.

"This flower is a white carnation and this flower means 'Innocence, pure love, women’s good luck gift' , if you want a specific flower to give to your loved one , tell me about who she or he is and what you feel about them so I could recommend you a specific flower to really emphasize the meaning of why you gave the beautiful flower to them."

She nodded and we took a seat as I offered her to drink tea as she answered the question I asked earlier.

"You see , my father left us when I was young , around 6 or 7 years of age and I was also left alone by my mother but my grandparents took care of me and I want them to think of me." She paused and looked down as I grabbed a tissue and gave it to her , she thanked me as she continued.

"I was their only daughter and they also have a new family who I met last week and I they didn't even tell me that they would leave me alone , they never thought about me ever since they left me at my grandparents house so I want to give them a flower that would suddenly make them think of me when they touch it." She said and I smiled as I stood up and grabbed a few pieces of a white clover.

I sat back again and handed her the white clover. "This is the white clover , it means 'Think of me' , would you like me to write a letter from you to your parents or you want the flowers?" I asked and she chose to write a letter as I grabbed a blank paper and a pen as I gave it to her and she begans writing them a letter as I stood up to pack the flowers into a beautiful bouquet as I came back to her and she gave me the letters and I putted them in a small bottle and tied it along the ribbon as I gave the flowers to her.

"How much is this?" She asked and I smiled. "That would be $2"

As I indicated in the invitation and my poster , I don't want to make the flowers expensive as long as the flower has a beautiful meaning and for what reason the person is giving the flower for.
