I was hoping for some content from the business itself (such as phots and a personal note)...if we receive it, we will update this blog entry, and may bump it up.

When i talked with the owner, Carole Hobson, here are some things to note (as Valentine's Day is coming up, and Creative Floral is a great place to shop):

• They are open until 7pm on Friday, Feb. 13 and Saturday Feb. 14.
• Free Delivery
• However, if you order before Feb. 12, you can receive a 10% discount on your order

JP Paulus' personal experience

I am not a "flower" guy, so I left it to the experts at Cretaive to come up
with something for me. Each time, they have done a great job, and the flowers
last for quite a while.

The service has always been great, whether I walk in or order over the phone (when I can't come in, but have an order that needs some explaining).

I was sad when Becky's closed, but happy to see that Carole Hobson & Creative Floral is taking the flower business to the next level, and it's a welcome business in Chatham and the 6th Ward. It's definitely a great neighborhood business. I encourage you to check it out.

P.S. They deliver all over the city and even suburbs...so i encourage other readers to patronize this business (I am looking at you, Hyde Park!)
