Put A Fun Spin On Thanksgiving

By gordonboswell on November 5, 2018 in Flowers, Thanksgiving. 0 Comments

This year, instead of letting the stress of creating the perfect Thanksgiving feast take you away from the true meaning of the holiday, try refreshing your meal with a twist on tradition. Invite guests to join you for an international-themed Thanksgiving meal. Go potluck or feature dishes from your favorite cultures. A Mediterranean buffet or Japanese theme can bring out the creativity in everyone. Or simply invite guests to join you for a dessert-only Thanksgiving (who’s not thankful for dessert?). Dress your table with traditional Thanksgiving linens, china and stemware, featuring a lovely centerpiece from the collection at Gordon Boswell Flowers for a simple way to tie your non-traditional feast to the nostalgia of the holiday.

Self Care In The Form Of Gorgeous Plants

By gordonboswell on September 10, 2018 in Plants. 0 Comments

With the notion of self-care comes the idea that we must invest oodles of time, money and energy into something that only benefits ourselves. In reality small, simple changes can make a big difference in your own life and in the lives of those around you. When you care for yourself, you become better at caring for others, too. Finding balance, energy and peace can be achieved in many ways- eating healthy, exercising, meditation and rest, and even surrounding yourself with samples of nature are great ways to care for yourself. Gordon Boswell, the go-to Fort Worth flower shop, has beautiful arrangements of plants and flowers alike that will nurture your soul and help you find wellness. Read More
