Under the Cherry Blossoms – A Sunday Story from on the Road!

 

Where did all those flowers on the ceiling come from?

We fell in love with the little town of Mount Dora, Florida. We were lucky. While looking for a good coffee house we found this beautiful and special place. Everywhere we came, we saw shining faces, people who do their work with passion and devotion, as well as artful, lovely decorated stores. One shop that particularly touched us, is the boutique “Under the Cherry Blossoms”. When we entered, the wonderful Ann and lovely Dee invited us with their joyful inspiring way to stay a while longer. They told us in a touching conversation how this store became to be such a happy place. Everything that is sold in this boutique is made by local artists. Next to countless lovingly arranged details in and around the store, the most touching story is the one how the ceiling came into being.

“Owner Lynn Wisniewski named the store* Under the Cherry Blossoms as her last name means “Cherry” in Polish. Lynn went through a very growing time in her life and for therapy she created the flower ceiling, each with a positive message.

One day someone mentioned to Lynn how uplifting the store and her are, stating there are not very many good people out in the world. Lynn could remember being at that place and how things changed when she directed her focus to the positive. She was inspired to invite all the happy people that walk into her shop to write a positive message on the green flowers for the ceiling, this way if anyone ever says there are no good people in the world she can point up and say “look at all the good people that walked into my little boutique!” Keep looking up!”

“There are always beautiful flowers for those who choose to see them.”
