Hello,\u00a0 hope your week is off to a wonderful start. Here we are busy busy just getting in our Provence planter container and chinoiserie tole. For anyone who placed a presale order, they will shipping out tomorrow and Thursday.\u00a0 To anyone else, we will hold a one day arrival sale as we always do later in the week.<\/p>\n

So…….you know me and my flowers, I so love them and can’t imagine life without them, they just make me happy.\u00a0 I recently had such fun taking a little day trip into the city to the flower district which I love and adore and have written about many times. Even have made a few connections and know people who help me out and are my
\n“go to’s”, makes me feel like an insider:) This time I was on a mission…..to gather flowers for my nieces baby shower as I was doing all the floral arrangements. I had such fun:)<\/p>\n

So first a quick look at what I got and then the completed arrangements, unfortunately did not take as many pictures as I would have liked once the shower got going but you certainly get the idea. I have no formal training in floral design but love to experiment and use every floral arrangement that I make as an experiment to see what works and what doesn’t. At the bottom of this post you will see a few pointers I have learned along the way…..<\/p>\n

Few things make me happier than seeing my kitchen turned into a glorious happy mess aka my temporary florist<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The fact that I happen to import blue and whites (and that she asked if we could do the arrangements in blue and white) sure came in handy<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Just getting started!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Proof that things can get quite messy, I am like a mad scientist once I begin<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Ta dah! My first batch of completed arrangements<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

A few hours later….great progress has been made:)<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

And these are ready for their close up!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

If I didn’t adore her so. much I would have kidnapped these and kept them for myself:)<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

And off they go to the person who was delivering them to the venue for me…..even all packed up in the back of a car they look beautiful-<\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Just a couple of pics taken at the shower-<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

<\/h3>\n

Well, well, well……looks like there is an upside afterall to doing the florals in heavy blue and whites, they are too heavy for anyone to lift and take home so with the exception of a few, I was lucky enough to get some back to sprinkle around the house, and I so enjoyed them for a good five or six days after-<\/h3>\n
