what we’re up to–roy homecoming 2012

What a successful first homecoming season we had. We enjoyed every bit of the process of creating these flowers… especially spending time at the high school with all the kids.

arrangements–bounty of the harvest

We so love this time of year. It allows for the most gorgeous colors and the materials you can use to design arrangements are endless – they are during any season, but there is something to say about the type of materials that you can use:

• leaves
• wheat
• branches
• pumpkins, gourds, and squash
• apples and pears
• baskets
• seed pods
• nuts and acorns

The harvest materials--- that’s what they are!

It’s getting to be sweater season where we are. This sweater sure popped out to us with it’s great vibrant colors and soft background. A great transition piece!

What we love:

• the abstract of the graphic – we knew it was a carnation from the petals of the stem - only a florist :)
• the great red and coral that could be paired with anything – we would love it with a gray pencil skirt, plum tights, top knot, black oxford pumps, and cute framed glasses

Calendulas – what we thought were some sort of special flower we had never heard of, actually are just disguised with a cool name.
