Catherine Muller Flower School London has been opened for
about a year and half now,
and what a wonderfully magical whirlwind it has
been.
I still remember the first day we saw the location on
Elizabeth Street. I couldn’t believe there was an opening as our estate agent
had been telling us there was nothing in the pipeline for weeks on end and we
had resorted to looking elsewhere in London – when my phone rang –“ There seems
to be a little shop on Elizabeth Street that might be of interest to you”, he
said with a chuckle.
I just knew we had found it.
I still remember the excitement I felt when I first saw the
store, and when Catherine and Charles and I made plans for the layout.
Once we signed.. there was no going back .. and it was
terrifying .. but oh so good!
My family came to visit me in London, and I felt so proud showing
them the space and taking them through our future plans..
The day we finally opened was the day Prince George was
born, 22 July 2013, and it all seemed so fitting. We put the Union Jack flags
up along the street and it felt as though the street, and Great Britain were
welcoming us as well.
I felt we had accomplished so much and it was still only the
beginning.
Our Flower School was ready. Slowly but surely, flower
lovers from all over the world started creeping in.
It has been incredibly gratifying passing on the Catherine
Muller floral design knowledge to our students and developing an unforgettable
bond with one another. Our mutual love for flowers let us understand each other
beyond the English language and I am so thankful for every lesson given and
learned.
All this wouldn’t have been possible without Catherine Muller herself, the most
talented and creative florist of all. Her love and support and professionalism
are beyond what any business partner could ever hope for. I would also like to
add a special thank you to Charles François, Catherine’s husband and business
associate for his motivation, kind words and for always making himself available
in my time of need.
Thank you.
And looking forward to a wonderful 2015.
