To start that process, we decided to flush the business of what wasn't working. We took a look at the market. There are A LOT of decor companies in the lower mainland. And quite honestly, I don't want to compete with that, especially in the linen department. So, we sold off ALL of our chair covers, sashes, runners and overlays (of course keeping a few for my fabulous dinner parties!)
Since doing so, my life seems so much more organized and definitely less chaotic! Everything is in it's place.
Now, I still carry glassware and arches and such. I just decided to get rid of anything not floral related. I figured, flowers are my passion, so why not make my entire business my passion. Which is exactly what I did!
So, what has Halfyard Designs been up to? Well, the highlight was definitely the BC Sports Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony! Way back in March, I was approached about doing the centerpieces for the Banquet, thanks to a plug from photograher Erin Gilmore (who is also the editor and creator of Aislewalk Magazine!) I was immediately interested, as I love sports! Especially hockey, and knowing Trevor Linden and Roberto Luongo would be there was a BIG plus! So, I was brought on board, and with the help of a few associates, it went off without a hitch and I have a fantastic photo to prove it!

Another highlight, which I can't speak too much about, is the photo shoots for Aislewalk Magazine. All I can say is WOW!!! The floral shoot was fabulous and you'll just have to wait to get your 2012 copy. But trust me! It is SO worth the wait!
