Mama Kat Thursday: The One Good Day

The Mama Kat prompt I'm doing today is,
"Share a Memorable Day at Work."

I worked at a flower shop for many, many years. I was a floral designer (the person who makes the arrangements).
I have to say that I remember more bad days, then good, but there was one really extraordinary day when a lady came into the flower shop on a day I happened to be working,

looking for fresh flowers for wedding reception table arrangements. As Mother-of-the-groom, buying the flowers for this was her contribution to the wedding.

She told me the wedding colors were "teal and brown," and she wanted to know if it was possible to get any "brown colored" flowers?

Well, I can safely tell you there are not many fresh flowers that come naturally actually brown. What's called brown is often a bit more on the light tan-orange side.

Then I had an idea. I remembered we had a chart of Gerbera Daisy colors available from our local flower wholesaler and one of them was a nice true brown!

So, I called our wholesaler rep to confirm for her that she could get the quantity of brown Gerbers she needed, told her the price, set  the date for her to pick-them up and sealed the deal.

(I believe her plan was to put two or three brown Gerbers in short vases on each table with a teal bow.)

She left the shop delighted and I went home that night with a very satisfied feeling of having made someone happy---for once. It was the best wedding flower moment I ever had.

So what was your best day on the job?

Thanks for Visiting!
