Bear and Baby Boy




































On Valentine's Day, the Big zuzuboys
volunteered to do all our deliveries.
We were thrilled for the most part
until we discovered them
taking a lunchbreak at Santa Fe
where we pictured them
schlucking down the Margeuritas.
We were wrong...
At the end of the day they picked up
Baby Alejandrozuzu
at his babysitter's
and gave him the Bear treatment...
funny glasses and a photosession.

Baby Phaels



















We are easily seduced by new and unusual plants and flowers.
Our latest love is baby Phaelenopsis Orchids.
Nicely set in 2 inch teracotta thumbpots,
sporting at least one full set of leaves
with a spike of 5-6 tiny blossoms and buds.
Perfect for whetting the appetite of any
beginning Orchidist.
$20.

Plant Favorites Just In





















Top: Violet leaf Oxalis is one of our most requested plants.
It grows well indoors in a bright window and is a great addition
to a planter of mixed Annuals in the Spring.
Below that is an extremely exotic but hardy Fern...
We call it Elk Horn .
It adapts well to brownstone life...not at all demanding.
The lovely leaved plant just ,above is an old Victorian favorite,
finding new popularity with modern plant lovers.
Each one of these varieties is available this week at Big Zuzu
on Fifth Avenue

ZUZU HAS HER OWN HOMEPAGE!



















We have been working on our website for a pretty long time.
It hasn't been easy to translate the zuzuessence into the virtual world.
Zuzu's appeal is sensory:
fragrance,color,texture,energy.
How to capture enough of that warm and fuzzy
in a practical, coherent, useful
internet tool...
HMMMM?
we're almost there.

We think so...

Rose Arrangements



















Nothing is better than a mix of a few Roses, Amaryllis and Hydrangea
So much better than just a dozen Roses in a vase.
And much more bang for your Valentine's Day Buck

Lightable Bulbs

























We were very conservative at The Gift Show.
Had to keep our hands in our pockets and
watch our purchases.
But these budding Hyacinth Bulbs got us at hello.
They are candles.
They are inexpensive and fit the zuzu requirement:
10 on the Joymeter.
Coming in time for Earth Day.

The ReZUZable Bag

























When we first heard all the rumbling about plastic bags
and the Park Slope Food Coop banning them,we started
thinking about our consumption of them.
Granted, we re-use them for cleaning up after Bear,
but he doesn't produce enough waste to keep up with our supply.

Shopping with our conservation minded friends convinced us
to start accumulating re-usable bags and...re-using them.
It didn't take long to figure out we needed to design one
for the shop and it only took 3 of us to come up with the
RE -ZUZ -ABLE bag.
Above is a picture of the sample bag which we have approved.
We are hoping to have these in hand for Earth Day
April 22....a great celebration is planned.
alll zuzufans will be invited.
