Make It A Tranquil Father’s Day

“He didn’t tell me how to live; he lived, and let me watch him do it.” -Clarence Budington Kelland, American writer (1881-1964), about his father Fathers teach us so many things in life, whether the lessons are deliberate or we simply watch and learn. The floral designers at Ah Sam Florist know that dads who set strong examples for their children should be celebrated. This year, Father’s Day falls on June 17th and is a great chance to thank your dad for the impact he’s made in your life. Send a card, take him to lunch, or gift him with a special item that reflects everything he is to you. Read More about Make It A Tranquil Father’s Day »

Ah Sam Florist sees a spring clean as a time to rethink how we've styled our homes and offices and to remove what no longer serves us from the scene. But new decor items are just as important to our sense of well-being and balance, and that includes flowers and plants. Read More about A Palette Cleanser For Spring »
