Q: Is Peace n Roses a retail operation?

Answer: Yes, Peace n Roses is a workshop/studio where floral arrangements, Peace wall art, Irish wall art, and a lot of other interesting items are assembled and displayed for folks to enjoy, and purchase if they choose.

Q: Is a visit to Peace n Roses an enjoyable experience?

Answer: Yes, a visit to Peace n Roses will expose you to bright and stimulating colors and sights. These explosions of color and beauty will probably cause your mood to improve by stimulating any number of emotions, not the least of which may include happiness, good feelings, tranquility, and an overall sense of giddiness. Hopefully, these emotions will persist. It’s recommended that bringing home a colorful or meaningful item will help these feelings continue. It’s also recommended that, when a booster to these good moods is needed, an additional visit is probably in order.

Q: Can discussing your giddiness with family and friends be helpful?

Answer: Absolutely, yes. Sharing your experience at the studio with family and friends so they can have an opportunity to experience the same will be appreciated and long-remembered.

Q: Does Peace n Roses have regular hours?

Answer: No, not at this time. For the time being, Peace n Roses will have event happenings that will be announced in the "Upcoming Events" section. Event happenings will often be holiday-related, and special sales and new offerings will be made available.

Q: What if I need a gift, or if I’m having a party and need some flowers?

Answer: Mike works at the shop throughout the week and, if you let him know you would like to stop in to look around or to discuss a project you have in mind, send him an email at mike@peacenroses.com, and he will work with you on whatever you need.

Q: What kind of special projects can be accommodated?

Answer: Anything floral-related…do you have a sports team for which you’d like to have a floral arrangement using their colors and/or logo that you would like to have on display in your home or at a party? (e.g., Bears, Notre Dame, University of Illinois, Cubs, White Sox, Bulls, etc…)

• Do you have a color or combination of colors you prefer for yourself or a friend?
• Do you need one vase that will accommodate multiple bouquets so that you can change them out as you choose and not have to look at just one arrangement all the time?
• Do you need personal advice on decorating one, two, or all of the rooms in your home with floral pieces?
• Do you want to enhance your workspace or business environment with flowers? Walking into your office or business lobby or waiting area is a much more pleasant experience if you are greeted with flowers. It’s much more enjoyable to sit in a restaurant that has a floral piece in the middle of your table, rather than looking at a plate with salt and pepper shakers.
• Do you want to be greeted in your home with flowers, but have grown tired of purchasing real ones, which have become very expensive, watering them, watching them wither and die and fall all over your counters or tables after about 10 days (if you’re lucky), disposing of them, and cleaning out the vase they were in?
• Do you prefer to walk into a cheerful or a dreary room?
• Do you need a quick but unique gift for a loved one, friend, business associate, teacher, coach, or anyone?

I could go on, but answers to all of these questions, and many more, can be answered with silk flowers. Send Mike an email or stop in at one of our special event happenings (Sweetest Day, Christmas, New Years, Valentine’s Day, St. Patrick’s Day, Easter, and all patriotic holidays). To summarize, Mike is open to discussing any project you may have in mind.

Q: What kinds of payment do you accept?

Answer: Payments can be made with cash, check, and credit card. Sorry, but Illinois sales tax has to be added to each purchase.
