CAPE GIRARDEAU -- Tina Adrian has joined Bloomin' Balloons, 2558 Independence, as a florist and account representative.

JoAnne Farless, owner of the company, announced Adrian's appointment this week.

"This is the first time we have had a full-time florist," said Farless. "But we're adding a variety of floral services."

Adrian, who has a dozen years' experience in floral design and bridal consultation, is a native of Jefferson City, but lived a number of years at Moberly before moving here recently.

Adrian and her husband, Joseph, who works with Lone Star, Inc., are parents of three children, Monica, Joey and Martha.
