A bit of practice!

So you would have seen my post from last week showing you my creation from my Flower Class (if not you can see it here).

Well Nate and I took at trip to Tesselaar's, the flower wholesaler in Coorparoo. Oh my goodness, I was in flower heaven! I have never, ever seen so much variety, so many amazing flowers and beautiful foliage, all in one place!

Anyway, back to the story, I decided that I was going to make a couple more of the cubed arrangements, they were just so cute and I really enjoyed making them. So I left the wholesaler with a truckload of flowers and over the next couple of days this is what I came up with...




The green chrysanthemums are just divine! I love them!

Looking forward to class tonight. A presentation bouquet is the task. Check back tomorrow for the pics!

Happy Wednesday!!

Floral Fancies......

Things have been a bit quiet the last couple of days, feeling very zapped of energy and have been very lazy - not just blog wise either!......

I have however come across some gorgeous blogs of some very talented Floral Designers - oh to have that as a job title - here are some of the gorgeous designs I have been drooling over....

From the gorgeous blog of Crosspollination







From the lovely blog of Rosehip Happenings...







And finally from LilacandLily, who could resist this....

Friday Etsy Finds.....

That turned into purchases!

How fabulous are the colours of these Vintage Crochet Cottons......









All purchased from the lovely Dianna from Scrap Shoppe. Apparently she has lots more in her stash! I will definetely be keeping an eye on her little store for more of these gorgeous goodies!

Happy Friday!

Step Eleven - Cubed Vase Arrangement

So last night was the eleventh class of my Commercial Floristry Course at Perrotts School of Floristry . This was definetely my favourite of all the classes so far. The flowers didn't look much in the buckets until we started working with them.

Here is my arrangement....







Nice huh? I am heading out to buy some of those cute cubed vases and more flowers to make more! I loved doing this arrangement!

Oh and we met someone special yesterday, very exciting! Stay posted.......

Happy Thursday!
