SEPTEMBER

We had a nice evening to start off our Flower Arranging season.  The demo was done by Pat and titled "Thanksgiving", a round arrangement in a gourd or gourd like container incorporating grasses, seed heads and pods into the design.

The Workshop was "Fresh Salad" and a fine effort was made using our garden greens, foliage of various colors and textures, seedheads, berries and nuts.

Such a beautiful evening to get together and flower arrange. Tonight's Demo was Birthday, a fan shape arrangement incorporating small balloons and/or streamers (trimmed).  Great job demonstrating Pam.

Our Workshop was Thanksgiving, a round arrangement in a gourd or gourd like container.  Incorporating grasses, seed heads and pods into your design. We will have some pretty nice additions to our Thanksgiving table.

A good night to be out and about, without a snowflake in sight.

Tonight's Demo was called Christmas, a door swag using all things Christmassy demonstrated by Bev.

Our Workshop was called Birthday, a fan shape arrangement incorporating small balloons and/or streamers (Trimmed).

 

 

DECEMBER

Our Demo was Easter, a low horizontal arrangement incorporating eggs (real or fabricated). It was hard to see an easter arrangement in my house this time of year so I pulled out the eggs and added red bells, apples and a few pinecones after I got it home.  Now it is a Christmas arrangement.

The Workshop was Christmas, a door swag using all things Christmassy.
