Must Do

Join us on December 18 for A Basket Full of Christmas.  Yes, in this class we start with a simple basket and overfill it with the bounty of the holiday season. Fragrant evergreens and hand-picked pinecones create a long-lasting base for this arrangement. Embellish with your favorite ribbons and glass balls and you have a design that will last for weeks. Tuck in the fresh flowers and the basket is full!  You can easily replace the flowers as they fade to keep the magic through the days ahead.

These long-lasting and fragrant topiaries are delightful holiday accents for your home. In this class you will learn the mechanics and design techniques for creating a sensational rose Christmas topiary.  Your topiary will be based upon wintry branches. A festive ball of evergreens and luxurious red roses is mounted atop.

In Season

Tis the season for berries!  Cranberries are abundant and available most everywhere.  I find it odd that they keep these beautiful red balls in the produce section of the store.  As a non-cook, I can’t imagine buying them for anything but decorating.  I always find my edible cranberries in the canned food aisle.
