Lisa: Hey Brenda! Thank you for sitting down with me!
Brenda: Oh, I don't mind!
Lisa: So Lets get started.. Brenda, what are some of your favorite products here at the Ford Flower Shop?
Brenda: Oh, what don't I like! Everything!
(Brenda chuckles, then looks at me and smiles.)
Brenda: I really love the flowers, but upfront.. I adore the teapots. I really enjoy them, they're really creative.
Lisa: Yes! My Mom loves them too! Do you have a favorite Yankee Candle?
Brenda: I love anything with Apple... Oh, and I love the Sunflower.
Lisa: The Apple kinds are yummy.
Lisa: What're some of your favorite things to do at work?
Brenda: I love fancying arrangements, giving things movement and feng shui.
Lisa: Oh nice. I seen some of your bundles, arrangements and stuff. They're gorgeous. You're really talented. How long have you been doing this?
