Celebrating Trumbull’s Best Boss

A workplace is made significantly more enjoyable when there is a great boss at the helm. From the employer who provides extensive benefits, to the supervisor who encourages people to excel in their job, to the department leader who has assembled a winning team - a good boss is one who creates a dynamic, positive and fun environment. Since adults spend nearly one-third of their waking hours at work, we truly appreciate someone like this in the workplace.

Floral Gifts for Housewarming Parties

Housewarming parties traditionally are held when someone moves into a new home. Gifts which may be useful or decorative are given to help them to fill their home with items they need. This tradition was born from an old custom which evolved in medieval times, when new homeowners were given the gift of firewood to literally keep their house warm over the winter. Today, housewarming parties are less common, but housewarming gifts are still popular. Flowers and plants are perfect for this occasion, as they add beauty and warmth to someone's new home. For those moving into the Trumbull area, City Line Florist is the place to visit for all things floral for the home. Read More about Floral Gifts for Housewarming Parties »

The gladioli is considered the traditional sympathy flower.
