It had been a pretty typical Monday. Busy in the morning and around lunch time, but quiet enough in the afternoon to work on merchandising and inventory counts. Darcy had finished a nice display of Chrysanthemums and another arrangement with dahlias and gerberas in autumn shades. The weather was supposed to turn cooler overnight, and she thought the autumn flowers might be appropriate.

She made a few notes regarding two projects she had to finish by Friday, and then took a walk around the shop. After helping a nervous man find the perfect first date flowers, she approached a woman who looked vaguely familiar. Obviously a customer who had been in before, though not someone Darcy had interacted with. She usually didn't forget names to go with the faces if she knew them. "Good afternoon. Can I help you find anything today?"

Adrienne smiled at the woman that approached her. "Hi, yes, hopefully. I'm Adrienne Travis, with Top Tier Events?" She hoped it jogged the woman's memory. She'd spoken on the phone with Blossoms in the past, so hopefully they remembered her from something other than her mad dashes in.

She glanced around the shop. "I'm trying to get a jump on the winter wedding season, provide samples and ideas to customers." She paused slightly, giving a soft laugh. "And escape the horrors that are the offices right now. It's been a bit insane for me, so please, please, tell me you can occupy my time for a little while?" She gave a friendly smile to the woman.

Top Tier Events. Darcy nodded. "Right. I remember the company. Relatively new, aren't you?" She smiled. "I hope you've been satisfied with our service and product so far. We're always happy to be referred or hired by event planners."

Darcy laughed. "Ah, so you're needing me to save you from insanity, huh? I'll see what I can do. Right now, we have several fall flowers in stock and at our greenhouses, but there are some that cover both seasons that we already have ready. Most of the winter flowers probably won't be ready for another month or so, but I know what we have locally, and we have suppliers for whatever we don't produce ourselves. Would you like to talk while looking at our current items or head upstairs to the office?"

"Yes, just a few months along in our infancy for actually being Top Tier. My partner and I have been in the wedding planning business for longer though," Adrienne said, smiling. "We've definitely been happy. I'm rather picky, so if we hadn't been, we wouldn't have come back," she admitted.

She hummed slightly, tilting her head. "Well, something to save me from killing my brooding cousin, any way," she murmured. "I'd love to take a look at what you have on hand, see if anything grabs my eye. There's a bride that says that she wants roses, but every color I suggest - despite her wedding colors - is met with the same face. I'm thinking it must be the roses and not the color, at this point."
