Karen Shain - Owner / Certified Floral Designer / Certified Balloon Artist - Karen is literally living her life-long dream of owning a flower shop on Mainstreet! Call it destiny or not, the Universe has found a way for Karen to finally do what she loves. Karen has always enjoyed the beauty of flowers and decorating for parties and special events. She started her own floral business working out of her garage many years ago while working full time in the corporate/legal world. Karen enrolled in floral training at the New York Institute of Art and also studied to become a Certified Balloon Artist/Decorator. After leaving the dull boring job in the corporate/legal industry, Karen took a part-time job as a floral clerk in a local grocery store while continuing her education by taking more floral design classes and attending balloon conventions. "The best part about my job now is that I am surrounded by very talented, positive, creative people who inspire me every day to be the best that I can be. I am so thankful for the support of my family and my flower family, you all are Rock Stars!" Recently interviewed by Parker Chronicle online.
