Do your pets like to drop by and look at the lilies every morning? Do they come by every once in a while and buy tulips? Maybe regularly drop $20 for a "whatever you recommend" bouquet? Do they frequently find themselves in need of flowers after-hours and so take a grab-and-go bouquet from the door, leaving a small note in exchange? If so, you may be a regular at Arcadia!

My pet Nyrene is a florist; Arcadia is her family's shop. Like any small business, it's bound to have some regulars with peculiar mannerisms and buying habits, so I'm interested in building a small "regular log-book" of sorts to reflect that.

Basically, I'm looking for things like:

If you've got a pet who might swing by a florist's shop every now and then, just drop a line with what they'd do / what they like to buy. The shop's been around for three generations, so it's been standing for a while. She's got seeds, individual flowers, and bouquet / arrangements, so there are endless possibilities!

Would you be interested in pet friends/quotes from other florists at all, or just customers? My pet Avery is also a florist, but I could definitely see her stopping by other florists' shops to say hello! :D

I have Smith

Every once in a while he visits the shop to buy fertilizer and sometimes even new flowers to add to his huge garden that he fondly calls his personal Eden.

(I hope this text makes any sense at all. xD)

Agoraphobic grows orchids, but as his name implies, he never leaves the house... maybe he could be penpals with Nyrene?

That's fine too! Paying customers are always great but Nyrene's not going to turn down friendly chats from anyone. :)

Thanks! Nyrene would definitely appreciate that garden name haha.

That could work; just send a quote on how they started. You can also call her and get deliveries if that's more his style 😉

Hi, there! Would she be interested in a part time employee ? I have Crisalide. She loves making terrariums for her insect friends to crawl around in, but she doesn't have much of a green thumb so she has to buy her flowers. Maybe she became friends with Nyrene and started bringing her terrariums as gifts or just to show what she does with Nyrene's beautiful plants. Eventually she started putting a few on display in the shop?

She's not looking in any part-timers right now, but I'm sure she'd be piqued by someone popping by with terrariums!

could jyri perhaps be a potential customer? they love flowers and plants, and i can definitely see them having a favourite florist.

'every other week, jyri likes to buy posies of assorted wildflowers. but they're particularly fond of lily of the valley, when available. the white flower reminds them of home.'

this is a really sweet idea! ♥

I have Merkado.

Every now and then Merkado stops by Arcadia to see their new stock, get business inspiration, as well as to see some old friends. Merkado likes to collect flowers for his flower museum.

[thanks for the story inspiration ;) ]

Thank you! He's been added.

Haha glad to help? I've added him as well. Thanks a bunch!

How about a supplier? My pet Wae grows her own garden.

On the first day of every month, Wae brings the prettiest posies from her garden to supplement Arcadia's eclectic wares.

Oops! I totally thought I had replied. That sounds good to me! Here is a quote for them. Is it ok if I add Nyrene to Cris's friend list?

Crisalide and her little friends are often found fluttering around the shop enjoying the flowers and Nyrene's company. Her flowers are the star attraction in many of Cris's terrarium creations!

Sorry for the late reply; work got pretty hectic. Please feel free to add Nyrene to her friend list! Thanks a bunch :)
