Last week, I mentioned that the florist on Fulton had closed. Commentors were correct about a NEW florist taking over — they’re already open! Called 1001 Affairs, they already have a case stocked with fresh flowers (though there are some fake flowers in the front windows…eh).
They participate with Teleflora, which means they should be stocked with all the essentials, plus be able to turn out some pretty nice arrangements.
I was pleasantly surprised to find a small, but nice selection of greeting cards as well. They have plenty of granny-style traditional cards, but have one section dedicated to cool, artsy cards. I picked up two of these:
The store owner’s brother picked these up for him — they’re handmade, and I took the last ones (sorry!). But he’s set to get more. Hopefully if enough of us shop there for cool cards, he’ll keep a huge supply in stock.

I hope they have a decent selection of flowers and plants in their store.Although the previous owners were nice people, they never had anything to offer for sale.
I stopped twice already and they had more (real/living) plants and flowers than when I first went. It seems that some of the older residents of the hood like the fake flowers (go figure; I guess they go with plastic slip covers); The arrangements are creative too, but I’m not a real flower gyrl.
As for the card selection, it has grown to two spinning racks, with a separate table of postcards that you have to dig through. Some of the cards I picked up were pretty fab and vintage, and kept me from having to schlep into the Manhattan or Park Slope in hopes of getting something unique. They store also has a bunch of really cool Andy Warhol notebooks that I haven’t seen elsewhere. Urban Outfitter has some overpriced Warhol stuff, but nothing like what they had. I bought a cool lenticular notebook that I am mesmerized by.
