Thanks Kelly!
A few months ago, I got a comment from Kelly Reed, who is the “Kelly” in “Kelly’s Flowers” announcing the opening of her shop within “M” Antiques, down on Multnomah Boulevard. Lately, I’ve been seeing her cards and posters all over the Village, and on the tables at O’Connor’s and everywhere else. I’ve ben meaning to stop by. To make this a total cliche, we went on Mothers’ Day.
Mrs. V came home from a walk on Staurday and mentioned that Kelly had some very nice looking boquets out in front of the store, for only $10 and we made plans to head on over there after breakfast and grab one on Sunday morning. Well, we went a little later in the morning and by the time we got there, the place was pretty much cleaned out! This is to be expected since everyone else had gotten their flowers ON TIME for Mothers’ Day morning, but that’s not the point here.
After a nice talk with the friendly Kelly about what brought her to the Village and how business was going, we left with the arrangement seen above!
An aside: The “M” stands for Heather McDonald, sorry guys, it’s not “MANtiques”. I may be the only one disappointed about this. Although I did snout around a bit while Mrs. V was talking to Kelly and there are some pretty cool things in there, at least capable of keeping the average non-antique-buying man interested while your companion is searching for just the right thing.
Oh by the way Kelly, stay away from Red Bull.

Thank you so much for the notice. You made me chuckle at the end as I told your lovely wife that the most caffine I get daily is a weak cup of tea in the a.m. Sorry if I scared you with the Red Bull. Business is going good, Heather and I are planning a FORMAL “Grand Opening” the weekend of June 22nd. I am praying for sun or partial sun, just no rain (my flowers like it in the mid 70’s).
I love your blog and feel very fortunate to be a part of the Multnomah Village business crowd.

I have been trying to get flowers form Kelly - I went there and there was a be back later sign. I was in a rush, so I went home to call, but found no listing. How does one phone Kelly?
