February Flowers

I made two arrangements today. One for church and one for the foyer. I decided to simply make one large arrangement for church instead of two on the side as I had for January. I used branches that looked like Spring. The palette was pink, yellow and cream.

For the foyer arrangement, I used deeper colors. The dining room is to the left and is currently a deep sage. It will probably soon become navy so I wanted to go with deep red and creamy white.  The flash washes the colors out, but the colors look great in the foyer.

A New Dish and the Drought

While visiting the New River Pottery, I saw a beautiful scalloped foot dish on clearance. I of course had to buy it. A few days later, my mother was complaining of the drought and how the hydrangeas weren't doing well. I decided to make her an arrangement of drought proof (ie. artificial) hydrangeas in my new purchase.

The scalloping is hidden in the picture but the beautiful detail on the base is clear.
