Back-to-School Week!

Sunday, August 21st, 2011

121-85536Many of our local students, administrators, staff members, and educators will be heading back to the classroom and hitting the books this week.

Here’s a peek at a brand new “teacher” item coming this January! It reads:

“Heaven help me to teach good study habits, a love of learning, but mostly help me make it ’til June!”

How many Bucketeers out there can relate?

Whether you’re approaching the new beginning of a new term with eager anticipation or a sense of impending doom, Blossom Bucket, Inc. wishes everyone a very successful 2011 – 2012 school year!

The Summer Shows are HOT!

Thursday, July 28th, 2011

Here we are in the middle of the 2011 summer show season and has it ever been HOT!

When I arrived in Atlanta and was instantly hit with the stifling heat and humidity, I could not help but think of the winter show.  In January, the city was hit with an unbelievable ice storm (right before the show) that pretty much shut down everything.  The weather certainly went from one extreme to the other!

"I Love Blackjack" Block with Ladybug - 125-85180

There has been no escaping the heat this summer; after leaving Atlanta I headed to the Philadelphia show.  There were record breaking temperatures during the set up days which always makes unloading the truck a treat !  I am attending one more show this summer – in Las Vegas!  It’s never hot in the desert in August, right???

Speaking of Las Vegas…check out our new collection of gambling bugs (coming in 2012)!

Popcorn, M&M’s, Cookies, and Hot Weather!!!!

Tuesday, July 19th, 2011

Hello there…. Greetings from Atlanta!

Tomorrow will end the July Atlanta Summer show.  We have seen old friends, made new ones, suffered through extreme heat, eaten two 45 oz. bags of M&M’s (Todd’s favorite), served tons of popcorn (per Barb, if you mix the popcorn with the M&M’s it is sheer delight)….discovered a new favorite cookie, Oatmeal Butterscotch (just ask Natalie)…………………………….and the most important part – shared our new 2012 product with scores of customers!!!

If you were not able to attend the Gift Show in Atlanta we still have a few more on the calendar before summer’s end.   You will not want to miss out on our new product and our fabulous show special.  Check out our website at www.BlossomBucket.com to view the dates and locations.  We hope to see you soon!

Working (WAY) Ahead!

Saturday, June 25th, 2011

"Sew Blessed" Block - 1111-84216Working ahead always sounds like a great idea, but there are a few instances in which it can be a lot more difficult than it sounds.

At Blossom Bucket, Inc. it’s a constant balancing act between working in “real time,” “retailer time,” and “distributor time.”

Right now is a perfect example.  In real time, we’re taking orders so that customers can keep their shelves stocked with gifts for all occasions throughout the summer.
