So one of the things mom and I do for the farm market is flower bouquets. Even though it isn't her biggest moneymaker, we continue to do it because it is so much more fun to put pretty flowers together than to dig potatoes. One morning while sales were slow we were talking about how we could really stand to take some sort of flower arranging class. Almost as if her flower emergency alarm went off , Jill (the owner of "Flowers on High") stopped by to buy the rest of our bells of Ireland. We asked if she offered any flower arranging classes, and as luck would have it she had just started teaching classes in people's homes. We gathered up some friends, set a date, and had us a flower arranging class at my house. Now, you may think this sounds sort of boring. Let me tell you...it was not! She brought PILES of flowers, was super fun, and we all went home with a vase full of a dozen roses complete with greenery and gorgeous basket bouquets. We got a bargain and had so much fun putting together our creations! The best part was seeing how different everyones arrangements turned out using the same stash of flowers. One thing I didn't think to take a photo of is my floor. I have NEVER seen so many leaves and petals covering one floor. :) I think we will have to try this again right before Thanksgiving or Christmas so we can all make our table centerpieces! Who's in?
