Did I Mention Flowers?
Yes, again this year I made some really cute flower arrangements for a senior center fundraiser fashion show and luncheon...these were donated as a gift to the women attending the luncheon. These arrangements contained Gerber daisies, hot pink and bright yellow roses and soft pink peonies with ribbons and some with added jewels...I am a huge collector of all kinds of ribbon, you might say I hoard it..I love using it freely in flower arrangements, gift wrap and at the holidays watch out..in garland and on the tree!
I am posting a few pics....beside working on my jewels, I love to create flower arrangements for special events...if I could I'd have fresh flowers in my home daily! It happens pretty often though that I will stop by my favorite flower shop for a dozen or two roses. I prefer flowers in pure form by themselves with little greenery as trim....never do I use baby's breath or ferns....sometimes all it takes is a quick trip to the yard to find just the right touch of greenery to accompany that special arrangement...one year I spray painted leaves silver and gold for the holidays for that special touch on the table using yard greenery....an advantage to living in the deep south...it is green all year long!
Enjoy!
