The Little Flower School went on the road last month over to Sunday Suppers...It was a lovely ladies lunch - we taught a miniature flower lesson and then learned how to make a seasonal summer lunch with The Jewels of New York. If every Sunday could be so decadent!

These gorgeous photos courtesy of Karen Mordechai - wait till you see the final results of the table setting, the food, and the flower arrangements...

*We've been scheduling fools today - our new Autumn class schedule is coming out tomorrow, promise!!

mothers day class

Looking at these photo's now makes me miss lilac and crabapple blossoms like crazy...we're already using crabapple fruit in the studio this week. Time flies...



Half of this class consisted of a family of 5 women, a mother, her three daughters and her sister. All from Brooklyn. Another mother-daughter team from California and one lovely lady from Salt Lake City, Utah. The arrangements these women made were incredible...



We had two last minute cancellations and so we invited both our mother's to attend. Turns out Irene and Susan are both flower mavens. In fact I kept them after class for an extra credit assignment - putting them to work on some Saipua orders for the next day!





...Nothing like waiting till father's day to show you mother's day. We've been busy. Nicolette and I are hard at work with weddings and also planning new classes for Summer, plus a special collaboration with Sunday Suppers - details to come soon...
