Unique's Bridal

I met with bridal salon owner, Sonia, of Unique's Bridal today. What a beautiful store. Gorgeous wedding gowns, bridesmaids dresses, prom and mother of the bride dresses. Loved it. Jewelry, too. Wishing Sonia much success in her great location, right across from Woodland Mall on 28th St. Check it out.

Amy's Orchids


This past January, my husband and I took a 2 week trip to Thailand and Laos. One of goals for this trip was to visit Amy's Orchids. Amy's is a major orchid farm, located just south of Bangkok. They ship orchids all over the world to the wholesale flower markets and I request their orchids from Van's Wholesaler, here in Grand Rapids. It was totally amazing, miles and miles of orchid plants, for as far as we could see, every variety and color. I as overwhelmed. The manager took us for a tour of the closest farm as well as the packing plant. It was a very memorable experience.
