Gift shop opens at Lake Isabella
After working for 14 years as a designer in flower shops in Mt. Pleasant and Weidman, Sue Chapman decided to go into business for herself.
She always wanted to open a gift shop, and her experience in floral design prompted her to open Buds and Blossoms Gift Shop in Lake Isabella.
Located in the Sunset Plaza at 50 N. Coldwater Road, Buds and Blossoms features floral arrangements, plants, baby items, gourmet instant coffees, candles, jewelry, cards, gift wrap, Jelly Belly candies, country items and Country Home Creations dip mixes.
Gearing up for Valentine’s Day, Chapman also has a supply of Valentine candy and is extending her hours for the holiday.
While Chapman is normally closed on Sundays, Buds and Blossoms will be open Feb. 14 from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.
Chapman, who lives in Sherman Township, opened the shop in Lake Isabella because of growth in the area.
She saw a need for a flower and gift shop in the mostly residential community.
