Around Town ~ All Mixed Up

 

Change can be a catalyst to recovery and can lead you into a direction that has been traveled before. Our friends at All Mixed Up recently made a move back to Quitman to open up, a fresh retail space. Their new space is located at 108 East Goode Street in Quitman. Located right downtown just off the square, with easy walking distance to the rest of downtown Quitman. Their hours are Monday through Friday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Saturday hours the same, possibly closing a little earlier, based on business.  You can always find out new information and get product updates on Facebook.

 

If you have ordered flowers from them before you can still do so. Their flower shop is still full service, with cute grab and go options in the shop. Lead time on flowers for a specific variety is 24 to 48 hours, but with designer choice flower arrangements have no lead time. You can still pick up your orders in Yantis, and they still have the same delivery area. You just have more options of items to purchase within a larger retail spot.

 

Mel has been arranging flowers for over twenty-five years, as well as plant and garden shop experience for over thirty years. She truly enjoys helping others in their time of need by adding comfort during a tragedy. Her goal is to make it easier for those who are experiencing hard times or tragedy.  Valentine’s Day is also a favorite.  It’s a day that is a lot of work but a lot of fun as well.

 

The new store front offers a variety of products. Graphic tees featuring musical groups, home decor, fresh flower arrangements, teas, candles and more. You can order company gift baskets for employees, good for holidays or celebrating birthdays. By far the favorite product she offers is Anna Candle. Homemade custom candles created in remembrance of her daughter.

 

When you come in your items can be gift wrapped for any occasion. Right now, Christmas is the most popular, but birthdays, valentines, and just because are always an option. Custom gift wrapping of your purchases adds that touch of class we all look forward to from a beautifully designed and curated boutique shop.

 

The next time you head down to Quitman, be sure to stop in at All Mixed Up. Do not forget you can also find them in Canton on First Monday’s.

Herb Infused Cocktail ~ Cranberry Rosemary Sparkle

 

               What a whirlwind this year has been.  We are just a few weeks away from the end of 2024 and the start of a New Year.  Before that happens, we have one more Cocktail of the Month to bring to you.  This month’s cocktail will be featured at multiple events, including our very first Santa at the Oaks event on December 15^th.  Bring your kids along to see the big guy and pass along their Christmas wishes.  Until then we have a great holiday drink to liven up your holiday party.

 

               I wanted to make sure we had a bit of bubbles and cranberry in our drink this year.  So there are multiple ways to make this tasty drink come to life for your holiday party.  We are mixing ours with a brut Champagne, but you can make it sweeter with a Prosecco sweet white wine.  And even make it into a mocktail, by using sparkling water.  That way everyone can enjoy this holiday drink at your festivities.

 

Cranberry Rosemary Sparkle

 

1 ounces Cranberry Juice

1 ounce Champagne

Dash of lime juice

Cranberry and rosemary to garnish

 

Drop in your cranberries into the bottom of your glass.  Squeeze in half a lime on top.  Add in Cranberry juice and Champagne.  Garnish with a sprig of rosemary and enjoy!

 

               I love this drink for its versatility for a group.  You can make it sweeter by changing the bubble option or even by making candied cranberries for the bottom of your glass.  The sugar coating the cranberries will bring out their sweetness and help your drink add a flare of the holiday spirit.  The bubbles add just the right level of excitement and effervescence to your drink.  We used frozen cranberries to help keep the drink cold, longer for maximum enjoyment.  Make this one your own for your next holiday event.  Your guests will be sure to love and enjoy the bubbles and flavors. 

 

               We hope you enjoy this holiday twist, and as always drink responsibly and have a designated driver.  Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays, Cheers!
