I'm inspired

by this.

I went to a design show last Sunday at Koehler & Dramm (my floral wholesaler), and another today at Lakeland. Wow! Some of the Christmas pieces were amazing.

So now I keep asking my mom: What colors are you going to do for Christmas? Do you need any centerpieces? Wreaths? Something?! I just can't wait to get out my glue pot and MAKE SOMETHING.

School

I haven't blogged much about school. I'm really enjoying it! Right now, my classes are Personals (corsages, boutonnieres, and hair pieces), Sympathy (funeral pieces), and Visual Merchandising. We do a lot of hands on (of course), and it's so fun to hang out with the other students while creating something beautiful (hopefully).

Here are some pictures of wristlets I did yesterday (ignore the wilting roses) with coordinating bouts. I love all the supplies we have at our disposal in school; rhinestones, buillion wire, ribbon in any color...

The pink roses in this picture are actually two rose petals rolled up. The green flowers are dendrobium orchids.
