This family owned shop, run by twin sisters Lee and Lisa Hoven (twin sisters), has been here over 20 years. Everything is uniquely hand made. They make deliveries all over the LA area, and do not use tele-flower or wire services. If you see a similar arrangement, rest assured this store is the originator, not the imitator. Frequent and appropriate use of seashells, and driftwood make for elegant nautical arrangements that don’t look cheap or touristy. Each of the 10 employees is comfortable designing arrangements and is versed in both silk and fresh flowers. Endless new ideas make this shop especially good for window gazing.
