Carey Howe of Exeter has been in the flower business for the past 37 years. Howe started when she was only 19 years old after she fell into a job at Lonnie's Floral in Cassville. After working five years at Lonnie's Floral, Howe took a 10-year break. After the 10-year break, Howe went back to Lonnie's Floral after Sheryl and Vaughn Smith had purchased the shop. After Sheryl passed away, Howe bought the store from Vaughn Smith in 2002. Howe owned Smith's Floral for 12 years before moving to the new location and changing the name to Carey's Cassville Florist.
Howe creates arrangements for weddings, funerals, sympathies, birthdays, anniversaries and any other occasion you may have. In her shop, Howe has many items to choose from: fresh floral, plants of all varieties, silk arrangements of all designs, uplifting Christian home decor, plush animals and balloons.
Howe loves creating arrangements for people to make them feel better and to put a smile on their face. "I've always been a people person; it makes me happy to make people happy," Howe said. Creating is one of Howe's favorite parts of her job. Howe creates whatever people desire.
During the pandemic, Howe will donate 10 percent of sales from weekly featured specials to local charities and programs in the area.
"It's a hard time for most people, and if I can make people smile, that's what I want to do," she said.
Each week there will be a special advertised on Carey's Cassville Florist's Facebook page.
Howe is offering curb-side pick up and delivery. Sanitizing vases and decor before they leave her shop is just one of the many precautions Howe is taking to insure safety for her customers. Howe is also calling before delivering to customers' houses to ask if they would like her to place their items at the doorstep.
