“I could tell from the window as I approached the store that I would love it. And then you open the door and are overwhelmed by bright colors and beautiful things that are uplifting. There are a lot of items in this store, things to look at, to touch, to smell. I was immediately drawn to every single display and had to take moments to investigate everything.” - Esme Addison

Investor Spotlight on
The Queen’s Court

“The Queen’s Court believes your home is a lot like the love of your life. Once upon a time, it was very special, but keeping it up to date may require new textures, paint or colors.

“For example, you are really getting tired of looking at that sofa or chair every day. It’s time to start redecorating, and just like your wedding day, your home may need inspiration - something old, something new, something borrowed and something blue.”

This is an article about the contrasting Christmas decorating styles of Randy Barbour and Clayton’s mayor and owner of Annie V’s Florist, Jody McLeod, when Randy owned Abbington-Wolfe Florist & Interiors.
