Why did you start the business?
I retired from the Department of Corrections to spend more time with my family after the death of my son. I have been creating silk designs for home and family weddings for many years. I took a fun hobby and turned it into a business.
Is there anything unique about your business that makes it different from the competition?
The one thing that sets lil-bit of Florida from the rest I think are the prices and the fact if a customer comes in with a request for flowers or a gift basket, I try to find out what they are looking for and then create a design within their budget.
What challenges do you face in business?
The same ones everyone else does - economics and the large chain competition.
What do you like about your business?
Going to work and looking at pretty things all day and making people happy with an idea they have brought to life in a gift for someone else.
