Romantic Roots, a romance bookstore, "magical gift shop, and fantasy floral design studio catering to romantic hearts," held its grand opening celebration this past Saturday, March 14, at 3003 Pacific Ave. SE in Olympia, Wash.
Co-owner Angela Scott told the Olympian that romance novels, plants, and flower-arranging workshops "keep the romance going." Former longtime owner of bridal business Weddings with Joy, Scott is working with business partner Amy Smith, who owns the building where the new store is located.
Scott added that workshops on terrarium building and flower arrangement also are under consideration, as well as a book club.
Referring to her previous business, she said, "While weddings may no longer be fitted here, love will always live in this space. Romantic Roots carries that history forward--through stories, growth, and shared experiences."
