The Rocking Horse

Ladies & Gentlemen,
This is what I have worked so hard for this spring - to get a second cooler back in!

When I went to college, my Father always stressed that even if I didn't use my degree for financial gain, the important lesson was to set a goal and work towards it!
Well, he was right about setting goals! I have used that advice well over the years and tried to pass it on to my daughter.

So it is only fitting that I accomplished this goal on what would have been my Father's birthday!

Fingers crossed that it works (can't plug it in yet - has to set upright after being tipped any). Huge thanks to Reese, Matt & Cara Stephens for helping us getting it in! And to Katelyn for taking care of the shop while we did that!

And huge THANKS to our customers out there for helping me achieve my goal this year!!! We are working hard to better serve our customers!!

Come check out our "garage sale" specials today & tomorrow. Greeting cards and Wind & Willow mixes are 1/2 off original prices. Christmas ornaments are 75% off. Rhythm clocks are 35% off original price.

We have some garage sale maps here in the store for the weekend.

Going to have a few of these (flowers may vary) cute wildflower garden bouquets available this week. Starting at $12.50 each. Can be delivered for extra fee.

It is time for a change or two here. We'll keep you posted.

For those that do not realize it, Memorial Day weekend is this coming weekend. If you are in need of cemetery arrangements, you still have time to call and order. We can get them ready for pick-up or delivery.

Not just an ordinary vase of flowers but a floral flag to honor a proud Marine.

We hope that everyone out there is enjoying this beautiful Mother's Day! Whether you are celebrating or remembering those Mothers that you love, the family and staff at The Rocking Horse recognizes a Mother's love is often the most unconditional love there is. Mothers see us all through our best and worst times of our lives. They celebrate our attempts, joys, and achievements. They are the ones, who many times, pick up the pieces after failures, sorrows and sickness. May all the mothers out there know how treasured they are for sacrificing so much of themselves so as to raise children to be strong, independent, loving and kind souls. This is also true for women who are Stepmothers, Grandmothers, Aunts, Guardians, Special Friend, Pet moms, plant moms, etc, who may step in as a Mother figure. May God bless you all!

On another note, we also want to THANK YOU Crawford County for helping make this past Small Business Week, a successful one for this small gift & flower shop! Be it an everyday occasion, Teacher Appreciation, Nurse's Day, Mother's Day week, graduation, a funeral or a wedding, we appreciate your business!

And THANK YOU to Palestine Chamber of Commerce for recognizing the small businesses of this community!!

Was able to get some crazy daisies yesterday. Still have time to get fresh arrangements made. We are here until 3pm!

How will you celebrate your Mother on Mother's Day, Sunday, May 10th? How about starting by sending her beautiful flowers from The Rocking Horse this week? Be sure to get your orders in as soon as possible for pick-up or delivery.

In memory of lives well lived.
