The Sheared Edge decked out for the holidays
When Dan Callahan, owner of Gregg Florist agreed to decorate The Sheared Edge for the holidays, I was ecstatic! I knew we would get something better than expected.....lagniappe. That's Cajun French for a little something extra, like the 13th doughnut added to your dozen at no charge. Boy did we get something extra special!

It was 20 years ago when I was living in Virginia that I first heard about the magic worked by Gregg Florist. Family and friends bragged about a local man who made flower arrangements which were a cross between Architectural Digest and extreme artistic boho! I was intrigued. So, to finally meet Dan and work with his talented team was a dream come true!
Let's take a look at some of the fabulous colors and textures by Gregg Florist waiting to greet you when you enter The Sheared Edge zone!

Dan's team (Galen Holland and Mary Markovich) showed up with with a breathtaking assortment of colorful delights! I knew the second they walked in that something unique/special would happen! Galen recently moved to Peoria from Chicago and is an outstanding designer! He hung from the rafters to create an enchanting effect!

You may remember Mary as the owner of the one-of-a-kind bakery called Gem Stone Confections in Peoria. She packaged delicious cakes in beautiful satin boxes, topped with antique jeweled brooches! Her creations were spectacular! Neiman Marcus liked them enough to sell.
