Christmas is Something More

When you have a December birthday you can sometimes get the "short end of the stick." Not the case for my Mother. This year proved to be a stellar event. Petals by Powell floral arrangements were off the chain. Don't believe me??? Just see for yourself! She does weddings, funerals & private events... by appointment only....

And then there was the star herself & her sidekick.....

Def these memories did not come from a store!

Thanksgiving Poinsettia... Who Knew???

It's called "gold rush" and has just the right amount of warmth for

a Thanksgiving setting. So unusual; it just fit right in nestled in with my glass pumpkin collection.

Flamingo Affair

Had a little "Flamingo Fling" for a friend. 

The flowers were "off the chain" and wanted to share.

While "Flowers by Lisa" is not a real business thinking for sure it should be. The gal's got talent! As we say she might not cook but she shore has a flair with flowers.

She out did herself & these centerpieces.... well what can I say other than......

supercalifragilisticexpialidocious!!!

As you can imagine the raves just kept coming!!!

The flowers seen here (above & below) all came from my sweet Mama's yard.

Now I have been known to run a theme into the ground from time to time but this time I think we got it just right!

Hoppy Easter

Some of my "peeps" came a calling!

Working on Floral Arranging Techniques......

Betsy Tom & Lyn went all over the top!

Lovie & My "Older" Sister ~ Festive Headpieces!
